Short life cycle is a plant adaptation to survive in:

Correct answer: B. Low temperature

  • A. High temperature
  • B. Low temperature
  • C. High soil pH
  • D. Low soil pH

Explanation

Plants growing in low temperatures may suffer from ill effects. To manage low temperatures, they possess well-developed bark for protection and short life cycles. Such plants bring changes in the composition of solutes in the cell to prevent ice crystal formation. The leaves and stems are hardy to withstand low temperatures. Most of them possess scale leaves, and the rate of transpiration is low to retard cooling.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
