What could happen to the reproductive process of mosses during a drought? The flagellated sperm would not be able to swim to the eggs for fertilization. The flagellated sperm and eggs would go dormant until water was available. Mitosis in the sporophyte would cease and the reproductive cycle would stop. Meiosis in the sporophyte would cease and the reproductive cycle would stop.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is The flagellated sperm would not be able to swim to the eggs for fertilization.

Their life cycle of mosses has alternation of generation - a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte. Gametophyte produces haploid gametes which fuse to form a diploid zygote. The zygote grows into diploid sporophyte which produces haploid spores. The spores grow into gametophyte and the cycle begins again.
Mosses require water for reproduction. Before fertilization, the sperm swims to an egg through the water. Therefore, mosses require water for successful fertilization. In drought periods, without water, the sperm cell could not swim to the egg cell.

Too much water in spaces surrounding cells is known as _________.a. osmosis
b. ions
c. edema
d. cations

Answers

The answer is c. edema.

Edema is a condition in which there is too much water in spaces surrounding cells. It results when blood vessels are leaky, so a fluid from blood vessels enters the nearby tissue. This extra fluid accumulates and, thus, tissue swells.

Ion is an atom or a molecule with a net charge, either positive (cation) or negative (anion). Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules from a higher solute concentration to a lower solute concentration.

What occurs during a decomposition reaction?

Answers

Answer & explanation:

The decomposition reaction occurs when a compound, by spontaneous (if unstable) or non-spontaneous (if stable) action, when chemically defragmented, generates two new products.

For example:

2AB (s)* → 2A (s) + 2B (g)*

*s is for solid and g for gas

This reaction shows a simple compound AB decomposing into two substances A and B.

What often occurs in decomposition reactions is the formation of a gas (g) and its release after the reaction, due to the fact that the compounds are formed by electron(e⁻) affinity, and gases are extremely electronegative.

a compound partitions into it's components.

How does the water get to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity?

Answers

Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.
