Answer: Birds pick up oil on their beaks, by rubbing against the uropygial or preen gland near the tail, and then rub it over their feathers. This makes the water unable to break through the oil.

Explanation: Hope this helps have a great day :)

Answer:

Feathers repel water because birds pick up oil on their beaks and when they fluff their feathers later the oil is transferred onto the feathers. As water cannot penetrate through the oil coating, the feather is waterprof.

What organisms save water by turning carbon dioxide into a special carbon compound before carrying out photosynthesis?
larisa [96]

The correct answer is C4 plants.  

A plant that cycles carbon dioxide into four-carbon sugar components to get into the Calvin cycle is known as a C4 plant. These plants are very effective in dry, hot climates and produce ample energy. Various foods one consumes are C4 plants like pineapple, corn, and sugar cane.

In the C4 plants, at the start carbon fixation occurs in the mesophyll cells and the Calvin cycle occurs in the bundle-sheath cells. The PEP carboxylase combines with an incoming molecule of carbon dioxide to the three carbon-molecule PEP, generating a four carbon molecule, that is, oxaloacetate.

In many groups of fungi, karyogamy and plasmogamy are separated in time and space. One potential advantage of this arrangement i
timurjin [86]

Advantages of separated karyogamy and plasmogamy.

Explanation:

In many fungi, the time of nuclear fusion is separated from the time of cytoplasmic fusion . This arrangement benefits by allowing mating and spore formation to occur in different environment.

Karyogamy is the process of fusion of nuclei , this precedes spore formation.

Plasmogamy is the fusion of cytoplasm, this process involves mating.

Mating is succeeded by spore formation. Both the processes are favored by different environmental condition.
