Answer:

a) Las raíces superficiales y extensas

c) El cuerpo carnoso de las plantas

d) Las hojas modificadas en forma de espina

Explanation:

En biología, una adaptación refiere al proceso de cambio evolutivo mediante el cual los organismos de una especie/taxón hacen frente a determinadas condiciones ambientales. Las plantas han desarrollado diferentes adaptaciones en ambientes desérticos a fin de evitar al máximo la pérdida de agua, el factor más limitante en este tipo de ambientes. Las plantas capaces de soportar largos periodos de sequías se denominan xerófitas. En primer lugar, además de servir como una buena defensa contra herbívoros, las hojas en forma de espina le permiten a una planta almacenar agua durante los períodos de precipitaciones. En segundo lugar, las raíces de plantas desérticas pueden disponerse superficialmente con el objetivo de absorber la mayor cantidad de agua posible. En tercer lugar, las plantas suculentas o crasas son aquellas que tienen tejidos carnosos los cuales pueden almacenar agua en sus hojas, tallos o raíces. Durante los periodos de lluvia leve, las suculentas almacenan grandes cantidades de agua para sobrevivir durante la temporada seca (incluso existen especies vegetales que sobreviven solamente durante la temporada húmeda y producen semillas que toleran la temporada seca).

  1. No selection

Brut [27]

Smooth muscles are the type of muscle that contracts and relax to control the movement of the contents.

What are Smooth muscles?

Because it lacks sarcomeres and as a result, striations, smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle (bands or stripes). Its two subgroups are single-unit smooth muscle and multi-unit smooth muscle. A syncytium is the collective contraction of the sheet or bundle of smooth muscle cells that make up a single-unit muscle.

Smooth muscle makes up the walls of hollow organs including the stomach, intestines, bladder, and uterus as well as the blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as the tracts of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. The ciliary muscle, a type of smooth muscle present in the eyes, changes the shape of the lens by dilation and contraction of the iris.
