Answer:
Cycads /ˈsaɪkædz/ are seed plants that typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk with a crown of large, hard, stiff, evergreen and (usually) pinnate leaves. The species are dioecious, therefore the individual plants of a species are either male or female. Cycads vary in size from having trunks only a few centimeters to several meters tall. They typically grow very slowly[3] and live very long, with some specimens known to be as much as 1,000 years old.[citation needed] Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for palms or ferns, but they are not closely related to either group.
Cycads are gymnosperms (naked seeded), meaning their unfertilized seeds are open to the air to be directly fertilized by pollination, as contrasted with angiosperms, which have enclosed seeds with more complex fertilization arrangements. Cycads have very specialized pollinators, usually a specific species of beetle. Both male and female cycads bear cones (strobili), somewhat similar to conifer cones.
Cycads have been reported to fix nitrogen in association with various cyanobacteria living in the roots (the "coralloid" roots).[4] These photosynthetic bacteria produce a neurotoxin called BMAA that is found in the seeds of cycads. This neurotoxin may enter a human food chain as the cycad seeds may be eaten directly as a source of flour by humans or by wild or feral animals such as bats, and humans may eat these animals. It is hypothesized that this is a source of some neurological diseases in humans.[5][6]
Cycads all over the world are in decline, with four species on the brink of extinction and seven species having fewer than 100 plants left in the wild.[7] The plant has a very long fossil history, with evidence that they existed in greater abundance and in greater diversity before the Jurassic and late Triassic mass extinction events.

In the given scenario, the weather model is showing light rain, the correct option is B.
<h3>What is a weather station model?</h3>
Current weather circumstances, cloud cover, wind speed, prevailing winds, visibility, heating rate, dew point temperature, atmospheric pressure adjusted to sea level, and pressure change over the last three hours are all depicted in the station model.
As we discovered, the station model is a method of displaying a large amount of weather data on a single area using numbers and symbols.
Meteorologists can quickly glance at the map and see a lot of information this way.
In the given image, the three inverted commas are representing moderate drizzles.
Thus, the correct option is B.

Answer:
Variables are parameters that are monitored and controlled or affected by the feedback system
Explanation:
Hydrogen is in a state of matter as a gaseous form. (so the answer is gas)
The answer is D, photosynthesis and respiration.
—Evidence—
Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and, correspondingly, carbon dioxide the byproduct of respiration.
Oxygen gives our cells the ability to break down food in order to get the energy we need to survive. Although other animals may use different organs to breathe with, they all get oxygen into their bodies through respiration.
