Answer:

Cycads /ˈsaɪkædz/ are seed plants that typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk with a crown of large, hard, stiff, evergreen and (usually) pinnate leaves. The species are dioecious, therefore the individual plants of a species are either male or female. Cycads vary in size from having trunks only a few centimeters to several meters tall. They typically grow very slowly[3] and live very long, with some specimens known to be as much as 1,000 years old.[citation needed] Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for palms or ferns, but they are not closely related to either group.

Cycads are gymnosperms (naked seeded), meaning their unfertilized seeds are open to the air to be directly fertilized by pollination, as contrasted with angiosperms, which have enclosed seeds with more complex fertilization arrangements. Cycads have very specialized pollinators, usually a specific species of beetle. Both male and female cycads bear cones (strobili), somewhat similar to conifer cones.

Cycads have been reported to fix nitrogen in association with various cyanobacteria living in the roots (the "coralloid" roots).[4] These photosynthetic bacteria produce a neurotoxin called BMAA that is found in the seeds of cycads. This neurotoxin may enter a human food chain as the cycad seeds may be eaten directly as a source of flour by humans or by wild or feral animals such as bats, and humans may eat these animals. It is hypothesized that this is a source of some neurological diseases in humans.[5][6]

Cycads all over the world are in decline, with four species on the brink of extinction and seven species having fewer than 100 plants left in the wild.[7] The plant has a very long fossil history, with evidence that they existed in greater abundance and in greater diversity before the Jurassic and late Triassic mass extinction events.

lara [203]

Answer:

The correct option is H) these acids change the environment.

Explanation:

Soil can be described as the part of the environment where plants grow. In primary succession, life stars arising in an area which has no soil and only rocks, This is possible because lichens are the organisms which can grow on the rocks. Lichens secrete certain acids which break down these rocks and hence soil begins to form when these rocks break. This makes it possible for other plant species to grow on these lands.

melamori03 [73]

Acid-fast bacteria or acid-fast bacilli can be defined as the group of bacteria that have the ability to resist their decolonization by the acids which are used during the staining process.

An infection that is caused due to an acid-fast organism indicates that the individual is suffering from Tuberculosis or other myobacterial diseases.

An acid-fast bacteria has many protective and invasive techniques which makes the infection difficult to treat, and thus, long-term course of antibiotics is needed for the treatment of such infections.
