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.

Some organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies, have a large and folded structure. What is an advantage of
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In endoplasmic reticulum, many folds leads to an increase in surface area for ribosomes to attach which allows for protein synthesis to occur at an efficient rate.

mitochondria has two membrane,

It has an inner membrane which is folded inside the other. The fold create cristae, which is the site for a portion of cellular respiration.

The folds also enables a large surface area that makes chemical process to occur in an efficient way.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

   Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation as a function of the wavelength or frequency of the radiation. Simply, spectroscopy is the study of color as generalized from visible light to all bands of the electromagnetic spectrum; historically, spectroscopy originated as the study of the wavelength dependence of the absorption by the gas phase matter of visible light dispersed by a prism.  Matter waves and acoustic waves can also be considered forms of radiative energy, recently gravitational waves have been associated with a spectral signature in the context of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory as well. Spectroscopy, primarily in the electromagnetic spectrum, is a fundamental exploratory tool in the fields of physics, chemistry, and astronomy, allowing the composition, physical structure and electronic structure of matter to be investigated at the atomic, molecular and macro scale, and over astronomical distances.    

    The spectrum is determined by measuring changes in the intensity or frequency of this energy.  The types of radiative energy studied include:  Electromagnetic radiation was the first source of energy used for spectroscopic studies.  Techniques that employ electromagnetic radiation are typically classified by the wavelength region of the spectrum and include microwave, terahertz, infrared, near-infrared, ultraviolet-visible, x-ray, and gamma spectroscopy.  Dynamic mechanical analysis can be employed to radiating energy, similar to acoustic waves, to solid materials. The types of spectroscopy also can be distinguished by the nature of the interaction between the energy and the material example:Absorption- when energy from the radiative source is absorbed by the material.  Elastic scattering and reflection spectroscopy determine how incident radiation is reflected or scattered by a material.  Crystallography employs the scattering of high energy radiation, to examine the arrangement of atoms in proteins and solid crystals. Coherent or resonance spectroscopy are techniques where the radiative energy couples two quantum states of the material in a coherent interaction that is sustained by a radiating field.   Spectroscopic studies are designed so that the radiant energy interacts with specific types of matter.
