Answer:

The correct answer is - B. they build up soil deposits on the rocky ground.

Explanation:

Lichens and mosses are known as the pioneer species as they prepare the particular region for the next stages of succession on the bare volcanic region. Lichens and mosses grow on the bare rocks and secrete acids to break the rocks and start soil production.

The soil deposits produced by breaking the volcanic rocks by secreting acids from mosses and lichens. Even after dying these species leads to thickening of the soil and increase organic matter for the next stages to grow.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger
hjlf
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. One of the main reason is that the larger cell become more demanding, therefore the large cell will increase load on the machinery of the cell such as DNA. The other reason is that if the cell grow too large it will be difficult for the cell to move for nutrients and discard the waste across the cell membrane. Also the surface area for each cell will also be reduced, which is required for active functionality of a cell.

What is the connection between virus prevalence and animal populations?
ch4aika [34]

Rinderpest disease is caused by a virus that affects hoofed animals, including cattle and wildebeest. In the 1950s, a cattle vaccination program was implemented to eradicate the disease in the Serengeti, and this led to dramatic changes in the populations of wildebeest and other species. The figure shows the number of wildebeest in the Serengeti ecosystem (shaded circles, left y-axis) and the prevalence (i.e., percentage) of individuals infected by rinderpest disease (unshaded squares and triangles, right y-axis) from 1958 to 2003.
