The plant species is Agave and the disturbance is Freezing temperatures.
• elaborate on ALL possible physiological changes that may occur for your selected species & disturbance
• What are the associated advantages and disadvantages to the physiological changes (from above)
• What are the likely scenarios for plant physiological changes under climate change ?
Answer :)
Freeze harm to agave might solely be
cosmetic unless temperatures drop terribly low and stay there for a
number of hours. Agave with severe harm from chilling temperatures
exhibit symptoms like cracks within the leaves or water-soaked
lesions on leaf surfaces. Leaves with severe harm can flip mushy,
dry and brown. Agave is usually unpleasant with serious freeze harm
and removing broken leaves alters the form of the plant.
Agave is native to chill, moderate climates, high altitudes, and
tropical climatic conditions according to the University of
Florida. Once the agave is fully-grown outside of their native vary
they are prone to harm from chilling temperatures. Harm to agave
happens once temperatures drop to chilling levels for many hours.
Freeze harm to the agave cannot be repaired once it happens.

Please answer all the questions not partly Q. 1 The number of species on the planet could be estimated by: Question 1 options choose one contrasting the background extinction rate to the modern extinction rate counting the number of dispersal and vicariance events comparing speciation rates to extinction rates considering the mutation rate and extent of genetic drift Q 2 All of the following are likely to cause mass extinction EXCEPT: Question 2 options:choose one many volcanoes erupt over a...
Choose 1 of the 4 areas addressed below and discuss: the driver, one possible exposure, a related health outcome and impact : Vectors (mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) can carry infective pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, which can be transferred from one host (carrier) to another. The seasonality, distribution, and prevalence of vector-borne diseases are influenced significantly by climate factors, primarily high and low temperature extremes and precipitation patterns. While climate variability and climate change both alter the transmission...
QUESTION 2 Climate change is a threat to the existence of many species. Which of the following limits to natural selection hinders the adaptation of species to the new climate conditions? The developmental plans of plants and animals are too complex. They cannot cope with the warmer temperatures. Mutations happen so frequently that beneficial alleles change before natural selection can substantially increase their frequency Many species not have gene variants in their gene pool that are beneficial in higher temperatures. Climate change happens so...

bird grasshopper several plant species 09 What is the predicted effect of bird presence on the survivorship or biomass of the plants? (Hint: if this question leaves you puzzled, it may help to think about feeding time. If there were no birds, would more or less plant tissue be eaten by grasshoppers?) O 1. more birds results in decreased biomass O 2. more birds results in increased biomass O 3. fewer birds results in...
5) As you likely know, we are in the largest extinction event since the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) mass extinction of 66 million years ago, in which 75% of all plant and animal species were eliminated. It is widely thought that the K-T mass extinction was associated with a ca. 10 km diameter meteor strike in the Gulf of Mexico near what is now the Yucatan peninsula. The on-going mass extinction event (the Holocene or (and this is my preferred term) Anthropocene...
A plant species X with n=5 chromosomes was crossed with a related species Y with n = 7 chromosomes. The F1 hybrids produced only a few pollen grains, which were used to fertilize the ovules of related species Z with n=7 chromosomes. A few plants were produced from this cross, and all had 19 chromosomes. The F1 hybrids (with 19 chromosomes) were mated with related species W with n=11 chromosomes. A few plants were produced from the cross and all...
Please answer all the 7 questions for me. Thank you so much for your help. 1. What are a biological species? What is speciation? Discuss the relationship between species and speciation. 2. Define a biological population. Why are populations described as dynamic? Provide three examples of properties of a population that can change over time. 3. Which is the most accurate way to determine population size? Describe two different methods for estimating population size. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of...
To answer Questions 2.1-2.4, you will need the thermodynamic data below. SPECIES A | B | C | D. | AH1° 0 kJ/mol 0 kJ/mol | +185 kJ/mol -360 kJ/mol | Note that the letters should not be interpreted as elemental symbols (for example, "C" does not stand for "carbon"), but rather treated as variables standing in for species of unknown identity. 2.1. Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction below. Express your answer in kJ/mol C rounded to the...
