The correct answer is B. Stomata
Answer:
B) ecological succession
Explanation:
The analogy given in this question describes ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION, which is the series of changes that an ecosystem undergoes over a period of time. Ecological succession is of two types viz: Primary succession and Secondary succession.
Primary succession involves the series of changes that occurs on a new habitat that has never been previously colonized. This is the case of the colonization of bare rocks with no plant life by LICHENS. The action of the lichen, which involves secretion of acids that disintegrates the rocks into soil, paves way for the colonization of that area by new species.
Lichens, via the role they play in primary succession by helping alter a barren area into a fertile one that accommodates other organisms, makes them be regarded as PIONEERS of primary succession.
C. A wall of stones and mortar
This would act as a model describing the cell membrane.
Explanation;
A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.
A cell membrane hold the different components of the cell together and to protect it from the environment outside the cell. It acts as a boundary between the inside environment and the outside environment of a cell.
It regulates the materials that enters and exits the cell; through selective movement of substances in and out of the cell.
The three examples of stimulus include;
1. Hit the skin with a needle or pin is a good example of stimulus. The sudden removing of the hand is the response.
2. When somebody bangs a door you jump if you were unaware because of the sound. The jumping is the response to a stimulus.
3. Holding a hot plate we fling hand away from it. The stimulus here is holding the plate while removal of the hand is the response.
Stimulus is the change or cause in an organism's surrounding which causes the organisms to react.
