Answer and Explanation:

The Tonle Sap lake serves as a "safety-valve" overflow basin for flooding. It is located in Camboya. Its extension varies according to the season. The lake might occupy 2500 km² during the dry season but can reach up to 16000 km² during the wet season.

The Tonle Sap lake is fed by numerous rivers from different latitudes and altitudes, and it is tributary of the Sap river that flows towards the southeast and joins the Mekong river, conforming together the Basac river.

The Tonle Sap river is<u> reversible</u>, also according to the season.  When the Monzon rains enhance the Mekong river´s level, the curse of water of the Tonle Sap river inverts flowing towards back the northeast. The Tonle Sap river stops providing water to the Mekong and begins to provide water to the Tonle Sap Lake. This last one sharply elevates its level.

Once the wet season is over, the Tonle Sap river redirects its water back to its original direction.

The Tonle Sap lake acts as a regulator of the Mekong Lake´s course.

This lake is very rich in resources, especially fishes that live in these waters, and are the feeding source of most Vietnamese.

PLS HELP!!! What best describes the relationship between
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Interspecific competition

Explanation:

Interspecific competition occurs when two different species occupy the same environment as they coexist and depend on the same limited resources for survival. As a result of these limited resources, there's competition between the different species with each species having their different levels of fitness. Their level of fitness determines how well they will complete with other species. This will also determine if they will go extinct or thrive in such environment where there's interspecific competition.

The graph given shows the growth of the relative population size of two different species grown together.

It shows that P. aurelia, with time, outcompetes P. coudatum.

This graph clearly suggest that interspecific competition has occurred. Both species are competing for the same limited resources.

P. aurelia has a greater fitness which enables it to outcompete the other species sharing the same environment with it.

Interspecific competition beats describes the relationship between the two species in graph B.

Phloem, has the (f) sound, so it carries food and nutrition like sugars all around the plant, up and down movwment.
while Xylem carries water and minerals, from down the soil up to the plant, only up movement.
