1 Invasive plant species affect the interactions of living and nonliving components of an ecosystem, so the removal of invasive plants is often necessary. The goal of
most plant-control methods is to disrupt or inhibit the function of different plant
systems. For example, insects can be used to chew through roots in order to
reduce a plant's ability to absorb water.
Which of these functions would be most immediately affected by a reduction in water
uptake by roots?
A Disease resistance
B Seed dispersal
C Sunlight absorption
D Photosynthesis

Photosythesis

Explanation:

Water is one of the main factors needed

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.

the answers are as following:

1. c. double helix, nucleosome, coil, supercoil, chromosome

2. b. g2 phase, preparation for mitosis

3. d. interphase consists of the g1, s, and g2 phases

4. c. metaphase

5. a. chromosomes are duplicated before cell division so that each new daughter cell has a complete set
