Answer:
Platismatia is a genus of lichens that often is found in forests. Lichens may be beneficial for forests because they provide food and nutrients for other species by fixing atmospheric nitrogen
Explanation:
The lichens are the result of mutualism between photosynthetic organisms (algae or cyanobacteria) and fungi species.
The process of water moving through the soil is called percolation or ground water recharge. In this process water oozes, seeps, or filter through the soil beneath the surface, without a defined channels, or in a course that is unknown and not discoverable from surface indications without excavation for that purpose. Percolation and infiltration are two related but different processes describing the movement of water through the soil. Infiltration involves the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface while percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.<span />
Answer:
2-Water helps maintain body temperature.
3-Diuretics like alcohol and some medications can cause the body to lose water.
Explanation:
Dehydration occurs when the amount of what loss is more than the amount taken. And we lose water in many ways therefore taking water on a regular basis is important to replace the fluids lost and keep the body functioning.
Water Maintains the Body Temperature
During high temperature, the body cools itself naturally by sweating and by sweating a large amount of water is lost. So when enough water is not taken, there will be less production of sweating thereby causing the body's temperature to rise.
Alcohol Causes Water Loss
Taking excess alcohol can result to dehydration because the hormone called anti-diuretic (while alcohol is diuretic) is used to reabsorb water by the body and alcohol in the body depletes the production of this hormone. The body loses more water than normal with a reduced amount of anti-diuretic in the body. Excessive intake of alcohol can also cause vomiting, which depletes the body of fluids and can cause further dehydration.
Answer:
a. Extremophile
Explanation:
These kind of living things, can support extreme changes of conditions, like in this example, they cam growth in a perfect 32 ºC, but they can still reproduce and live in a very cold temperature.
I will not select the psychrophile because, even they are extremophiles, actually, they prefer the cold weather, that mean that it will not have an optimum growth at a temperature of 32 ºC.
