Answer: Diversity, referring to the state of having many different organisms cohabitate within an area is a desirable outcome for many ecosystems. The presence of a wide spectrum of different organisms allows for more life to be able to thrive in an ecosystem. For example, an ecosystem with a wide array of shrubs, grasslands and forested areas is able to accommodate more life forms than an ecosystem of just forest. This increased capacity to support life directly improves the capacity of the biosphere to support life as well, diversity leading to growth.
The corn syrup is mostly sugar. It has a lower concentration of water. A small amount of water moved into the egg because the distilled water had a slightly lower concentration of solute molecules than inside the egg. The size of the egg changed to small, due to corn syrup being hypotonic.
So in this scenario, we have to consider two things: the plants are super different from each other. Some plants have huge leaves, others have tiny ones-- some plants have really long roots, others barely have them; it is because of these differences that the some plants survive better than others.
Say that at the start, plants are thriving like crazy-- I mean they're everywhere man.
But afterwards, this huge environmental change occurs.
Plants that have bigger leaves lose more water due to a greater rate of transpiration. Plants with shorter roots can't reach the water deep in the soil.
Plants with smaller leaves, and waxier cuticles could protect their water more. Plants with longer roots could get more water.
Basically, all plants that have good traits for drier environments tend to survive more.
Because they tend to survive more-- they could make more baby plants (i.e. greater rate of reproduction)
Because they could make more baby plants, the overall newer generation of plants will have more of these hardy, dry-environment adapted plant traits (i.e. phenotype).
Answer:
d. an extensive surface area well suited for invasive growth and absorptive nutrition.
Explanation:
Fungi have an extracellular nutrition. These means enzymes are released to environment to start degrading macromolecules which can be later be absorbed (absorptive nutrition) through cell membranes. Having multiple spots (bigger surface area) through which it can nurture speeds up the rate at which it can grow leading to a faster growth and higher competition over resources.
