Option D

Explanation:

Options for the question

A)import seeds produced in the southern hemisphere.

B)plant the flowers out-of doors in november.

C)keep the plants in a warm growing environment.

D)expose the plants to an hour of light in the middle of each night until the end of april.

Solution

Since Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant, its flower mainly develop during night and hence they require long nights of 11 to 12 hours. Blackout system is sometimes used to induce flowering.Flowering can be delayed by regulating both light and temperature. this is done by exposing plants for a short period of time to light (can be artificial) and to some source of heat that produces 85° F or higher temperature.  

Thus if flowers are required in month of may, flowering can be delayed by exposing Chrysanthemums plant to light and heat source during night time

Option D is correct

Describe the importance of biomes such as forests, freshwater, and marine biomes? How have human actions affected these biomes?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Forest biome:  It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological  functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.

Freshwater biome:  We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.

Marine biome:  It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.

As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.
