Answer:

c. the cost to growth of allocating resources to defense

d. consistent fitness benefits of high allocations to defense

Explanation:

In order to ensure survival by  escape of  grazing and browsing by herbivores (and insects) plant usually adopt different defence mechanisms.This forms the basis for the optimum defence hypothesis .

The basic idea of the hypothesis is that the type   of  defence that an organism e.g plant  will adopt  against an herbivore depends on its fitness, and since this involve expenditure of energy it will be expensive for the organism to afford and maintain.

What are the differences in the dynamics of microtubules and actin filaments?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Microtubules, like actin filaments, are dynamic structures: they can grow and shrink quickly by the addition or removal of tubulin proteins. Also similar to actin filaments, microtubules have directionality, meaning that they have two ends that are structurally different from one another. I hope this helps :)
