Consider a coccus and a rod of equal volume. which is more likely to survive in a dry environment? explain your answer which would be better adapted to a moist environment? explain your answer.

Coccus  is suitable for dry environment and a rod is better adapted for moist environment.

Explanation:

The probability of Coccus would be  better suitable for a environment which is dry. A sphere posses less surface area for the volume, as such,  moisture which is  lost through osmosis  is less in dry environment conditions.

During a moist environment, the ratio of the surface area to volume of a rod shaped bacterium is high, which allow higher efficiency to transfer water and solutes into and outside of the cell, and to make possible for a cell which is in rod shaped, have a metabolic rate higher.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.

correct it is c.) b b
