Answer:

The correct answer is - They secrete acid that breaks away rocks

Explanation:

Lichen causes chemical weathering to break the rocks quickly which is the excretion of various acids like oxalic acid and many more organic acids that can cause a significant impact on the rock by dissolving minerals.

By breaking the rocks it forms the ground for the plant that will come later in place of the bare rocks by this chemical weathering process. An example of chemical weather is a change of the granite to clay with the help of hydrolysis.

Eukaryotic cells are 10-100 times the size of prokaryotic cells. how do eukaryotic cells resolve the surface area to volume limi
Katarina [22]

The surface area of a cell is approximated by the surface area of a sphere, given by the expression, 4πr². The volume of the spherical cell is given by the expression, 4πr³/3. The ratio between surface area and volume turn out to be, 1:r/3, or 3:r. This indicates that the SA/volume ratio is inversely related to the radius of the cell. Greater the radius, lower the ratio. Higher ratios are present in the prokaryotic cells This enables them to exchange food and water from their environment by the simple process of osmosis and diffusion. Eukaryotes have a larger cell radius and size. Thus, eukaryotes find it harder to exchange food and water by simple diffusion, rather they have specialised organelle present in the cell that actively transport food and water into the cell. These specialised organelles help the cell avoid the problem due to small SA/volume ratio.
