An aloe vera plant possessing a trait for extra thick leaves survives very long droughts in deserts, while and aloe vera plant that doesn't have thick leaves doesn't.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

An aloe vera plant possessing a trait for extra thick leaves survives a long drought in a desert, while an aloe vera plant that has thinner leaves does not.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Natural selection occurs when organisms with traits that are well-suited to an environment tend to survive and reproduce at a greater rate than organisms that are less suited to an environment. </u></em>
  • In this case, <em><u>the trait for extra thick leaves in aloe vera plant is well suited to the environment of a desert. Therefore, those aloe vera plants with this trait will tend to be more adaptable to the desert environment and survive a long drought in a desert, while those plant without this trait will die as they are not adaptable to the environment.</u></em>

nikklg [1K]
Hey there mate!

Based on my information to this, I believe sense (it would be a closed system), this would most likely be considered to be (equal to) the total energy after.

But, if it was not a (closed system), it would not be unrelated because the energetic system would not be that greatly increased.

So, it really depends whether the system closes up, or whether it would be free of energy.

So, in this case, your correct option to this answer would be (option A).

<span>In a closed system, the total energy prior to an energy transformation is unrelated to the total energy after. 

I hope this helps you!</span>

PLEASE HELP ME <br> What are the steps to photosynthesis
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, molecules in leaves capture sunlight and energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrate molecules. That energy within those covalent bonds will be released when they are broken during cell respiration. How long lasting and stable are those covalent bonds? The energy extracted today by the burning of coal and petroleum products represents sunlight energy captured and stored by photosynthesis almost 200 million years ago.

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”). Other organisms, such as animals, fungi, and most other bacteria, are termed heterotrophs (“other feeders”) because they must rely on the sugars produced by photosynthetic organisms for their energy needs. A third very interesting group of bacteria synthesize sugars, not by using sunlight’s energy, but by extracting energy from inorganic chemical compounds; hence, they are referred to as chemoautotrophs.

All organisms in Kingdom Animalia are multicellular, meaning their bodies are composed of more than one cell. Which other charac
Monica [59]
Most animals in Animalia have backbones, but not all.
The correct answer would be C, because all organisms in Animalia are heterotrophs which means that they depend on other organisms (like animals and plants) for food.
