Answer:

C. sharp thorns

Explanation:

The plants stand still, are not very physically active, and seem to be on the menu of many animals. Precisely because they cannot win at the first sign of danger, one has developed other ways in which they can defend themselves from annoying and dangerous animals.

Some have developed long thorns that repel attackers. Some have poisons that are very strong and because of which animals do not think of trying to eat that plant, but the defense of some plants seems to be well thought out and ready for all forms of attack.

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).
