The environmental benefit of the leaf canopy of a tree slowing down the impact of raindrops and the root system absorbing water and holding soil in place would be that the water erosion of soil would be minimized.

The washing away of topsoil by water is termed water erosion. This event has a number of impacts on the ecosystem, including:

  • reduced agricultural yields
  • damages to infrastructures such as roads
  • washing away into nearby water bodies can cause eutrophication
  • water quality of nearby water bodies becomes impacted negatively

The leaf canopies of trees prevent raindrops from having maximum impact on soil structure while the roots of trees absorb water and also holds soil structure together to limit water erosion of the soil. This will in turn prevent negative consequences to the environment.

Gymnosperms are plants which bear seeds without fruits or without any outer coverings. These plants also do not produce flowers. Most plants under this group have needle-shaped leaves. This is an adaptation as these plants grow in colder conditions. Gymnosperms. These plants produce pollen without bearing flowers. Angiosperms are found in almost all climatic conditions.

A large-mouth bass is taken from a fresh water lake and transplanted into the river. If the conditions for survival are optimal,
liberstina [14]
The cells will make some sort of reaction, there's no doubt about it. But for a bass I believe that their cells will stay the same or shrink over time.
Bass are strong fish and they usually do well when there's a change in conditions made in the environment. But it depends on what this river has in it and if it leads to bigger opened waters.
If there's a shortage of food sources for the bass it'll have to adapt quickly or it'll die from the predators in the area. If there isn't any places the Bass can lay their eggs (reproduce) its population will die in that river.
There also competition. In that river it could have socked eye salmon in it or catfish even pikes. So the Bass cells would stay the same.

Hope this helps
