ryzh [129]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

In plants like Gloriosa superba, The leaf tips get elongated and become tendrils. In some plants like Lathyrus aphaca, the entire leaf gets modified into a tendril and the stipules expand to carry out the function of a leaf.

Xerophytes are plants that has adapted to survive in places like deserts with low water availability. In xerophyte plants, some leaves are modified into spines. This modification helps plant prevent water loss by transpiration by minimizing the surface area. In addition, it defends plants against herbivores animals. Apart from modification into spines, leaves are modified into other different organs as well. For example, tendrils are modified leaves modified which provides support.

Hence, some xerophytes leaves are modified into spines.

g100num [7]

Answer:

pre-zygotic reproductive isolation

Explanation:

<em>The molecules regulate the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanism.</em>

<u>Reproductive isolation generally refers to the variety of biological processes that sustain the formation of new species of biological organisms. </u>

Some of these processes <em>act to prevent fertilization or the formation of zygotes between organisms that are not of the same species</em> (pre-zygotic mechanisms) while others <em>ensure that the product of fertilization is invalid</em> in case the former fails (post-zygotic mechanisms).

Some pre-zygotic mechanisms ensure that there exists no form of mating among organisms that are not of the same species due to incompatible reproductive organs, but where this fails, another pre-zygotic mechanism will act so that that the mating will not lead to fertilization and there will not be formation of zygotes.

The prevention of fertilization between organisms with compatible reproductive organs but of different species is carried out by molecules. These molecules ensure that there are locks and keys in place to prevent the fertilization of the egg by the sperm.

Why might material need energy to move through the cell membrane
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Some transport requires energy.

Not all materials that move in and out of a cell can do so by diffusion. For cells to carry out life functions, materials must often move from areas of low concentration into areas of high concentration. This process of moving materials against a concentration requires energy.
