ABI means Ankle-Brachial Index. ABI is a test used to diagnose peripheral artery disease. The ABI compares blood pressure in the ankle to blood pressure in the arm, shows how well blood is flowing in the limbs and indicates if there is any or no blockage or rigid arteries. The amount of blockage establishes the level of peripheral artery disease.

Which of these gymnosperms are known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem?
CaHeK987 [17]

The correct answer is:     [D]:

___________________________________________________

                    →   " redwood tree forests " .

___________________________________________________

 <u>Note</u>:  Let us consider the other answer choices.

___________________________________________________

Choice:  [A]:  "garden flowering plants" ;  is incorrect  — since these are not generally considered to be part of a true or traditional "ecosystem" ; and especially since "garden flowering plants" are, in fact, "flowering plants" —  which means that they are "angiosperms" —  <em><u>Not</u></em>  "<em><u>gymnosperms</u></em><em> </em>".

      →  Rule out:  " Choice:  [A] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice:  [B]:  " ferns and liverworts " ; is incorrect — since <em><u>both</u></em>  ferns — as well as liverworts —<u><em> are Not  </em></u><u>"</u><u><em>gymnosperms </em></u>".  

          Liverworts are "bryophytes" {which lack true vascular tissue] ; and ferns are "pterophytes" ["seedless vascular plants"].

      →  Rule out:  " Choice:  [B] " .

___________________________________________________

Choice:  [C]: " mosses and horsetails "; is incorrect ;  since <em><u>both</u></em> mosses — as well as horsetails — <u><em>are Not  </em></u><u>"</u><u><em>gymnosperms </em></u>".   Mosses are "bryophytes" (see aforementioned) ; and horsetails are "non-seed bearing plants" that spread vegetatively [underground; by asexual reproduction — <em><u>and Not by seed</u></em><em> .</em>].

      →  Rule out:  " Choice:  [C] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice:  [D]: " redwood tree forests "  ;

               — is the only answer choice provided that is a "gymnosperm".    

             Furthermore, the "redwood tree" is a conifer (i.e. "coniferous; or, "cone-bearing" plant} that reproduces through seeds spread by "cone") — and all "conifers" are a type of "gymnosperm."  

            Furthermore, "redwood trees" grow large and tall, and redwood forest communities within an ecosystem; due to there size and presence, are:  "<em><u>known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem</u></em>."

__________________________________________________

 →  As such, the correct answer is:

__________________________________________________

 →  Answer choice:  [D]:  " redwood tree forests " .

__________________________________________________

Hope this helps!

    Best wishes to you in your academic endeavors

           — and within the "Brainly" community!
