The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.
Prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells. This is because prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome, no nucleus, and few other organelles. Eukaryotic cells have many chromosomes inside a nucleus, and they also have more organelles.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is A. X, because organism X has the same role as the grasshopper</em>
Explanation:
In a food chain or a food web, a primary producer can be described as an organism which feeds on producers. The producers, in this case, are the corn stalks. Grasshoppers are primary consumers in this food web because they feed on the corn stalks. X is also a primary producer, just like grasshopper, because it feeds on the corn stalks which are the producers. Hence, option A is correct.
The geosphere supplies all the raw materials that all living things use to build their bodies. The sun supplies the energy directly or indirectly.. (There are some exceptions, some life forms have been found in deep sea vents and produce their energy chemically. And microorganism have been found at great depths in drill holes recently, little is known about them.)
