Which organelle is responsible for wilting?
makkiz [27]

Vacuole is the answer.

Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls. 

The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.

When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.

In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced  compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.

Which of the following is a limitation of the phylogenetic species concept?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The limitation of phylogenetic species concept is b. Evolutionary histories are not known for all species.

Explanation:

The species that share a common ancestor and have similar traits and functions are grouped together as a result of the phylogenetic species concept. The phylogenetic species concept shows a unique evolutionary history of one organism with another of the same group. The major set back in the phylogenetic species concept is the lack of evolutionary histories for certain species. So, these organisms cannot be grouped according to the phylogenetic species concept.

List five introduced species that present a serious threat to their new communities. explain the damage done by each introduced
Delicious77 [7]
Cat (Australia); lots of cats became feral and they reproduce very fast. They became the apex predator and the native species have no defense system for them, so the cats brought tens of species on the verge of extinction (mainly placental mammals).
Fox (Australia); became an apex predator in the lack of competition, and damages the populations of native small placental mammals. 
Hair (Australia); reproduces much quicker than the native species of mammals, increased significantly in numbers, and out competes the native species for the food sources.
African bee (the Americas); much more aggressive and stronger than the native bees and systematically kills their populations.
Grey squirrel (Britain); reproduces quicker than the red squirrel, is bigger, and out competes for food, brought it on the verge of extinction.
