Sindrei [870]3 years ago

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

They generate chemical energy in the form of ATP.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell because they "burn" or break the chemical bonds of glucose to release energy to do work in a cell. This releases energy (ATP) for the cell. The more active a cell (such as a muscle cell), the more mitochondria it will have.

Rashid [163]

The basement membrane is the thin, non-cellular structure of connective tissue that separates the lining of an internal surface and external surface from underlying connective tissue in metazoans.

The epithelium is a type of body tissue that covers all internal and exterior body surfaces, lines hollow organs and body cavities, and makes up most of the glandular tissue. The body comprises four types of tissues; depending on the location, connectives, muscular, nervous, and Epithelial, which perform the function of protection, secretion, and absorption.

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
erik [133]
Hey,

I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.

Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.

Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.

Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.

Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.

Hope this helps!
