The answer is A.
The cuticle is a protective film that is non cellular covering the outer cell layer (epidermis) of green, aerial parts of plants. Cuticles protect plants against drying (desiccation), UV radiation, and various kinds of physical, chemical and (micro)biological agents.
The cuticle also provides some support. Actually the cuticle which protects the underlying tissues has basically the same function as our own skin.
In several groups of plants, cuticles are very resistant. Only few groups do not generally have highly resistant cuticles e.g. ferns and lycopods.
Answer:
<em>A. The air pressure in that section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased.
</em>
Explanation:
In the free air, the density of the air diminishes as the air is warmed. On increasing the pressure, the density also increases. The air is packed. The density increments as pressure increments.
The thickness and density of air decline with the increase of height because of that the surface area of the Earth's climate diminishes with increase in height, along these lines gas particles can spread out.
The density of the air is most minimal at a high rise on a hot day when the pressure of the atmosphere is low.
Answer:
This exercise is incomplete, missing the value of k (decay constant), which is equal to 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹ at 25°C
The answer is 0.549 years
Explanation:
Given:
first order of reaction
k = 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹
For a first order of reaction, the half-life time for the degradation of DDT is equal to:
This is asexual reproduction and it shows offspring that have the same genes as the parent, since the genetic material was copied before the division.
Answer: <u>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
</u>
This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.
This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.
This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.
