Southern Florida has many tropical hardwood hammocks—forest habitats that are warm, wet, and populated with many broad-leaved evergreen trees. Why might a plant native to an ecosystem with a cooler climate do well if introduced to a tropical hardwood hammock? Group of answer choices The trees in the tropical hardwood hammock are better at competing for native resources than the introduced species are. The wet conditions in the tropical hardwood hammock disrupt the life cycle and limit reproduction of the introduced species. Freezing temperatures that normally limit the population in the cooler climate are lacking in the tropical hardwood hammock. Pollinators and seed carriers that normally increase the population in the cooler climate are lacking in the tropical hardwood hammock.

Explanation:

The tropical hardwood hammocks are habitats that act as small ecosystems markedly different from the surrounding environment, and they may be seriously threatened by introduced plant species. In Florida, exotic plants have been introduced into the tropical hardwood hammock habitat, reaching to about 50% of the flora in some areas. The mature hammock of these habitats can generate a shade that maintains a temperature of several degrees cooler compared to their neighboring habitats, and thereby promoting invasion by exotic species.

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
