It wont get the proper sunlight it needs. Sunlight gives the plant energy.

Light is the energy source that allows plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into complex carbohydrates such as glucose. Some plants need direct sunlight to thrive, but others do better with less light. Plants that prefer shade, such as ferns, violets and begonias, are popular plants for apartment dwellers because they do well in indirect light, but no plant can survive for long without any light at all.
While temporarily placing a house plant in a dark room may not cause it any immediate harm, all plants eventually die without sufficient light. Plants need light for photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants make food.
Hope this helps :)

Explain the role convection plays in the rock cycle

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. All rocks are made up of minerals. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring, crystalline solid of definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystal structure. A rock is any naturally formed, nonliving, firm, and coherent aggregate mass of solid matter that constitutes part of a planet.

Reasons for seasons

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. At different times of the year, the sun's rays hit different parts of the globe more directly. The angle of the Earth's axis tilts the Northern Hemisphere towards the sun during the summer. Without the tilt of the earth's axis, we wouldn't have seasons.

During the warm temperatures of summer, the arctic fox produces enzymes that cause its fur to become reddish-brown. During the c

marishachu [46]

Answer: the expression of certain genes is affected by temperature

Explanation:

For organisms to survive changing environmental conditions, a lot of molecular processes occur in the genes.

For the arctic fox, enzymes coded by specific genes are periodically "switched on or off" depending on the temperature.

Thus, the change in colour can be EXPLAINED by the expression of certain genes affected by temperature
