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.

Why are the colors different on the planet at different times of the year ? Give a specific example.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

In the Northern Hemisphere, ecosystems wake up in the spring, taking in carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen as they sprout leaves — and a fleet of Earth-observing satellites tracks the spread of the newly green vegetation.

Meanwhile, in the oceans, microscopic plants drift through the sunlit surface waters and bloom into billions of carbon dioxide-absorbing organisms — and light-detecting instruments on satellites map the swirls of their color.

Satellites have measured the Arctic getting greener, as shrubs expand their range and thrive in warmer temperatures. Observations from space help determine agricultural production globally, and are used in famine early warning detection. As ocean waters warm, satellites have detected a shift in phytoplankton populations across the planet's five great ocean basins — the expansion of "biological deserts" where little life thrives. And as concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continue to rise and warm the climate, NASA's global understanding of plant life will play a critical role in monitoring carbon as it moves through the Earth system.

Which of the following structures is NOT found in some prokaryotic cells?
WARRIOR [948]

The answer would be:

Cilium

<u>Here is more about the structures of prokaryotic cells:</u>

Axial filament is a bundle of flagella that are wrapped around the cell's body.

Flagellum is what the prokaryotic cell has that is whip-like in structure. It helps with the motility of the cell.

Pilus is a hair-like structure that are found on the surface of prokaryotic cells. They help the cell attach itself to surfaces.

Peritrichous flagella are several flagella that can be found all over some prokaryotic cells.
