GIVING BRAINLIEST Lodgepole pine trees produce seeds in cones. The cones open after being exposed to high temperatures created by wildfires. How does this adaptation help the lodgepole pine survive?

A) It allows the lodgepole pine tree to make more seeds in cones that are hard to open.
B) It creates more wildfires for the lodgepole pine tree to reproduce.
C) It makes the seeds travel and grow in areas where there are no wildfires.
D) It helps the lodgepole pine tree to protect the seeds and to reproduce.

D

Explanation:

A layer of resin and woody tissue sticks the cones' scales together. The seeds are locked in tight, and the cones can't open unless they're exposed to VERY high temperatures like the type of temperatures that fire provides. This shows they survive through exposing the seeds after forest fires.

D

Explanation:

A It allows the lodgepole pine tree to make more seeds in cones that are hard to open. IS WRONG B) It creates more wildfires for the lodgepole pine tree to reproduce. IS WRONG C) It makes the seeds travel and grow in areas where there are no wildfires. DEFINITLY NOT so that leaves it with D  It helps the lodgepole pine tree to protect the seeds and to reproduce.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
