Ainat [17]3 years ago

Answer: The study, by Dr. Tim Brodribb and Dr. Taylor Field of the University of Tasmania and University of Tennessee, used plant physiology to reveal how flowering plants, including crops, were able to dominate land by evolving more efficient hydraulics, or 'leaf plumbing', to increase rates of photosynthesis.

Explanation: The reason for the success of this evolutionary step is that under relatively low atmospheric C02 conditions, like those existing at present, water transport efficiency and photosynthetic performance are tightly linked. Therefore adaptations that increase water transport will enhance maximum photosynthesis, exerting substantial evolutionary leverage over competing species.

The evolution of dense leaf venation in flowering plants, around 140-100 million years ago, was an event with profound significance for the continued evolution of flowering plants. This step provided a 'cretaceous productivity stimulus package' which reverberated across the biosphere and led to these plants playing the fundamental role in the biological and atmospheric functions of the earth.

Which organelle modifies cell products, packages them for distribution, and then may turn into vesicles and bubble off the surfa
timofeeve [1]
<span>The correct answer is C. The Golgi apparatus. This is the packaging center of the cell. It is responsible for receiving cell products and transporting them within vesicles either within the cell or to surrounding cells. Lysosomes are the trash collectors of the cell, responsible for processing wiaste. The cell membrane makes up the cell's enclosure and selectively allows material into and out of the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes and is responsible for assisting in protein production.</span>
