Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

What is the relationship between water clarity and otter survival?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Their survival is correlated to water clarity because kelp, the main food of otters' prey (sea urchins), needs clear water to thrive.

Explanation:

Otters are extremely important organisms, also known as "<em>keystone</em>" species. They keep aquatic ecosystems healthy because they control other populations such as sea urchin populations that consume kelp, sometimes in excess.

For this reason, otters prefer inhabiting near the kelp, which generally grows in clear waters near shores. They also prey on crabs, marine snails, squid, etc. as they possess the ability to dive as deep as 250 feet.

Therefore, their survival is correlated to water clarity because kelp, the main food of otters' prey (sea urchins), needs clear water to thrive.

Consider a field plot containing 200 kg of plant material. Approximately how many kg of carnivore production can be supported? A
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

E) 2

Explanation:

The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.
