In a rainforest, some plants grow in the canopy while other plants grow on the forest floor. These two areas cause plants to go

through photosynthesis as different rates. Which statement reasonably explains the difference?

Answer:

This question lacks options, however, it can be answered based on general understanding of forest layers.

The difference in photosynthetic rate is as a result of the amount of sunlight received by plants in the canopy and the forest floor.

Explanation:

Canopy of a forest refers to the collection of the crowns of trees found above the ground layer of a forest while the forest floor is the ground level of the forest. Plants that grow in the canopy are directly exposed to sunlight and receives most of the light from the sun while plants that grow in the forest floor are least exposed to sunlight as the crowns of the plants in the canopy covers/masks them.

Based on this, the rate at which the plants in the canopy layer photosynthesize will he higher than that of the plants in the forest floor because the amount of sunlight is a determinant of the photosynthetic rate.

The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.

Explain how fertilization occurs
alex41 [277]
<span>I'm assuming this in plants.

Brief-ish answer:

"Fertilization in plants occurs when pollen grains are transported from anthers to stigma. When ripe pollen from an anther catches on the stigma of the same kind of flower, each pollen grain sends out a small thread-like tube."

Here's a fuller answer:

"</span>Fertilization occurs after pollination, when pollen grains land on the stigma of a flower of the same species. During this time, a series of events take place leading to the formation of seeds. A pollen grain on the stigma develops a tiny tube that runs down the style of the ovary. The pollen tube contains a male gamete which meets the female gamete in the ovule. Fertilization occurs when the two gametes combine and their chromosomes join. The resulting product is a normal complement of chromosomes, with some from either parent flower. The fertilized ovule forms a seed, which consists of a food reservoir and an embryo that later develops into a new plant. In gymnosperms (conifers) male gametes are enclosed in pollen grains and are transmitted by wind or insects to the female reproductive organs. Fertilization in angiosperms (flowering plants) occurs when insects or other animals transport the pollen to the female reproductive organ (pistil).<span>
</span><span>Fertilization is the fusion of gametes to launch the development of a new individual organism. In animals, the process entails the combination of ovum with a sperm, leading to the development of an embryo. Fertilization in plants occurs when haploid gametes meet to create a diploid zygote, which eventually forms an embryo.</span><span>"
