Answer:
1)The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering. This waxy substance does not cover the stomata, but it covers most of the leaves, keeping the plants cooler and reducing evaporative loss. Small leaves on desert plants also help reduce moisture loss during transpiration.
Answer:
d. secondary endosymbiosis.
Explanation:
- When a living cell acquires another organism that eventually becomes a part of this cell, this process is known as primary endosymbiosis.
- When an organism that has already undergone primary endosymbiosis engulfs another eukaryotic organism then this process is known as secondary endosymbiosis.
- Secondary endosymbiosis has been known to occur in plastids because of which they are surrounded by two membranes. This bilayer is present because one of the layers is the original outer membrane of the organism and the other membrane is that of the organism that has been engulfed.
The answer is b. Prop roots.
Mangroves are small trees and shrubs that live in the coastal zone. Mangrove trees must fight rough tides, huge waves, strong winds, and storms. One of adaptation is prop roots. The prop roots grow out the mangrove trunk, branches or other prop roots until they touch the ground. There they develop an underground root system. These roots serve as a support in the conditions characteristic for mangrove.
