Answer:
Here, is the question with the explanations to pick from to complete the question
Tropical rainforests have high species richness of trees. Which of the following statements provides the MOST reasonable explanation why animal species richness is also high in tropical rainforests?
Animals are unable to adapt to climate variability in higher latitudes.
Animals have had the same amount of time to evolve in rainforest areas as trees.
Animal diversification rates are higher than those of trees.
Animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree diversity
The last option is the most reasonable one
Our answer is:
Animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree
Explanation:
The reason is that a lot of species are highly specialized to occupy a particular niche. Where that favourable niche exists, the population of that species increases as its offspring colonize new areas.
Answer:
C. They pollinate the flowers that only open at night.
Explanation:
A niche is the functional role an organism performs in the ecosystem. Simply, the question is asking for the role of nocturnal animals as pollinators.
- A pollinator is any organism the helps plants to transfer pollen grain from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another.
- This way, fertilization and crossing of genetic materials is achieved.
Nocturnal animals are animals that are very active at night. This is an evolutionary advantage for them because there is less danger at this point of the day.
Therefore, some nocturnal animals can help to pollinate flowers that only open at night.
Answer:
Dogwood Tree
Explanation:
Dogwood tree is a type of tree which grow alternatively on a branch. Alternate-leaf dogwood is a deciduous shrub or small tree, which is 20-35 feet tall having horizontal branching. Unlike all other native dogwoods, this pogoda dogwood species has alternate rather than opposite leaves. The name "Pagoda Dogwood" is given to the tree due to the flat-topped crown, and horizontal layers of branches.
The thermal energy can be defined as the type of kinetic energy which is generated due to the motions of the particles. This motion generates a temperature which can be measured easily. The type of thermal energy which flows from one substance to another when the temperature of the two substances is different is known as heat.
Hence, the blank can be filled with 'heat'.
