Answer:
Xerophyte survival characteristics:
Thick cuticle.
Stomatal closure.
Reduction in # of stomata.
Stomata hidden in crypts or depressions in leaf surface (less exposure to wind and sun).
Reduction in size of transpiration surface (lower leaf only).
Increased water storage.
Explanation:
Xerophyte adaptations increase water intake, limit water loss, and store water efficiently. Water intake adaptations include deep or widespread roots, and high salt content to increase osmosis. Xerophytes have thick cuticles, lost or finely divided leaves, reduced stomata, and CAM photosynthesis

Answer: A.
Explanation: "<u>An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has</u>, but which the individual members do not have. In biology, for example, heart is made of heart cells, heart cells on their own don't have the property of pumping blood. You will need the whole heart to be able to pump blood."
Explanation for the incorrect answer:
"Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems. It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach to biological research.

Answer:
1. Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
During photosynthesis, autotrophs such as green plants, algae, etc. remove carbon dioxide from the air and incorporate it into complex organic compounds such as glucose. Plants use much of the glucose to produce their own biomass. Heterotrophs feed on autotrophs and obtain these organic compounds from them. Heterotrophs perform cellular respiration during which oxidation of organic compounds produces ATP molecules. The process of cellular respiration returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Autotrophs obtain this CO2 from the air for photosynthesis and the cycle continues.
