How are igneous and sedimentary rocks similar?

Question passage: This PASSAGE is adapted from “Rare Woodland Plant Uses‘Cryptic Coloration’ to Hide from Predators.” ©2009 byAmerican Journal of Botany, Inc.It is well known that some animal species usecamouflage to hide from predators. Individuals thatare able to blend in to their surroundings and avoidbeing eaten are able to survive longer, reproduce, andthus increase their fitness (pass along their genes tothe next generation) compared to those who standout more. This may seem like a good strategy, andfairly common in the animal kingdom, but who everheard of a plant doing the same thing?In plants, the use of coloration or pigmentation asa vital component of acquiring food (e.g.,photosynthesis) or as a means of attractingpollinators (e.g., flowers) has been well studied.However, variation in pigmentation as a means ofescaping predation has received little attention.Matthew Klooster from Harvard University andcolleagues empirically investigated whether the driedbracts (specialized leaves) on a rare woodland plant,Monotropsis odorata, might serve a similar purposeas the stripes on a tiger or the grey coloration of thewings of the peppered moth: namely, to hide.

The PASSAGE indicates that compared with other functions of coloration in plants, camouflage in plants has A) provided scientists with a deeper understanding of potential food sources. B) made use of a wider variety of distinctive shades of colors. C) proved to be a less effective defense against predators. D) been the subject of a smaller number of scientific investigations.

Answer: The correct option is C(proved to be a less effective defense against predators).

Explanation:

Adaptation is a means by which plants or animals modify their forms, structures, functions and behaviour in order to escape being harmed and survive in their environment. The special adaptations of organisms in a habitat enables them to live there successfully and reproduce. There are 3 types of adaptation which include:

--> structural adaptation,

--> adaptive coloration and

--> behavioural adaptations.

From the passage, the plant under study shows ADAPTIVE COLOURATION. Colour and colour pattern plays an important role in adaptations of plants. These occur due to the presence of pigments in cells of plants. Common pigments responsible for coloration in plants are:

--> chlorophyll: this gives green colour to plants that has chloroplasts in their cells.

--> Carotene and xanthophyll: this gives yellow to orange colour to plants that has chromoplasts in their cells.

From the passage, the use of coloration or pigmentation in the plant as a vital component of acquiring food (e.g.,photosynthesis) or as a means of attracting pollinators (e.g., flowers) has been well studied but it's use to escape from predation has received little attention. Therefore camouflage in plants has proved to be a less effective defense against predators.

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the ant queen from that colony to also be positive for Wolbachia because Wolbachia also cause infection in the ant queen. This bacteria lives in the cell of their host and cause infections. This bacteria specie is responsible for the reproductive and developmental changes in the invertebrates so we can conclude that Wolbachia also affect the ant queen of that colony.

Answer:

If plants are absorbing blue and red light other colors such as green and yellow are being reflected. For example, a green plant absorbs all colors of light and reflects green, which gives it its green color.

Plants absorb and use blue and red lights during the process of photosynthesis, and the electrons get excited which carry out other pathways. While the lights like green and yellow which are not absorbed are reflected which are visible to our eyes.

Plants contain a pigment in the chloroplast which is known as chlorophyll. This pigment is present in all the green plants, it is responsible for trapping the light energy which comes from the Sun or artificial source.

Chlorophyll absorbs the light of different wavelengths in the visible range of light. This is known as absorption spectrum of the plant. Rest of the other wavelengths of light are reflected from the plant body which are visible to the eyes.

The wavelengths of red and blue lights show maximum rate of photosynthesis in comparison to other lights.

Explanation:

mark brainliest

Answer and Explanation:

Many elements can be responsible for this, among them, we can mention the presence and absence of predators in the different places on the rocky coast. This is because predators can influence not only the number of organisms found, but also the types of organisms.

Another element that may be the cause of this variability is the availability of resources necessary for the life of these organisms, in addition, the impact of the waves on the rocks, can cause the variability of the organisms, since some may not be able to resist the impact of the waves.

Answer:

The correct answer is - chicks will not be able to survive in water.

Explanation:

Penguins spend the majority of their life in the water and for mating and moult they move to land and also lay their eggs on land. The wings or flippers of the chicks of these penguins are not as efficient as the wings of the adult penguins.

This makes it tough to survive on the waters for the chicks of penguins. Therefore they move to land even they are very clumsy on the land. The mating, molt and raising the chicks to few weeks are the prime reason.

Answer:

High amounts of fluoride

Explanation:

Teeth cleaning agents can contaminate one's blood with fluoride, something that it is only healthy to accumulate a small amount of.

A blood bank would refuse the blood of the potential donor because the cleaning agents of teeth significantly accumulate heavy metals in the blood of an individual.

Teeth are required to be cleaned regularly on their own. But if you are facing some problems like tooth decay you must have to consult with a dental hygienist in order to ensure the health of teeth and gums.

According to the context of this question, a dental hygienist uses a variety of cleaning agents while cleaning the teeth of a patient. Due to this, the accumulation of concentration of heavy metals like fluoride and lead is increased in the blood directly or indirectly.

Apart from this, this person also has genetic inheritance of tooth decay and other diseases. So, the blood bank refused to accept blood from a potential donor.

Answer:

3m/s²

Explanation:

a = v - u/t

Where;

a = acceleration (m/s²)

v = final velocity (m/s)

u = initial velocity (m/s)

t = time (s)

According to this question, a car is said to accelerate from 4 m/s to 16m/s in 4 seconds. This means that;

v = 16m/s

u = 4m/s

t = 4s

a = 16 - 4/4

a = 12/4

a = 3m/s²

Answer:

What Darwin Never Knew”, is a stunning time line that details the theory of evolution formed by Charles Darwin, and the recent advancements made that answers some of the questions he simply could not. Darwin 's theory explained why today there are 9,000 kinds of birds, 350,000 kinds of beetles, 28,000 kinds of fish, and at least 2 million kinds of living species and counting. Darwin figured out that all species are connected, and he also realized that species evolved and adapted, but he did not know how. Darwin made a five year voyage on The HMS Beagle that would change his life, and all life as a matter of fact, forever.

Answer:

light intensity, carbon dioxide, and temperature

Explanation:

light Intensity because it depends how much sunlight the plants absorb

carbon dioxide because plants need a lot of CO2 to produce photosynthesis

temperature because it shouldn't be too cold or too hot, it should be room temperature
