Most plants that grow in the tundra are small with thin, wax-covered leaves because the tundra has a very short growing season and a very cold climate with strong winds, which can cause water loss from the plants through transpiration. The thin, wax-covered leaves help to reduce water loss and protect the plants from the extreme cold and wind. Additionally, the thin leaves allow the plants to carry out photosynthesis efficiently during the brief period of summer-like conditions, while the reduced surface area of the small plants allows them to retain warmth and conserve energy. Therefore, the correct option is:
The plants need to survive the cold, windy, and short growing season in the tundra.

The algae become pale.
The algae become pale.
When the temperature in the ocean becomes too hot, the algae become pale in a process known as bleaching. Bleaching occurs when the algae expel the symbiotic zooxanthellae, which provide the algae with most of their energy through photosynthesis. Bleaching can be caused by various stresses, including changes in temperature, light, or nutrient availability. Therefore, the correct answer is:
The algae become pale.
thats not right its A.
I apologize for the mistake in my previous answer. You are correct; when the temperature in the ocean becomes too hot, the algae lose their ability to photosynthesize. High temperatures can damage the pigments in algae that are necessary for photosynthesis, and can also cause the denaturation of photosynthetic enzymes. As a result, the algae can no longer produce their own food through photosynthesis, and they may die from starvation or become more susceptible to disease. Sorry for the confusion. The correct answer is:
The algae lose their ability to photosynthesize.

disturb the ecosystem because another species will take its place.
In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the removal of a species will disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it. Low biodiversity means that there are fewer species in the ecosystem, and each species has a more important role in the food web and ecosystem processes. As a result, the removal of a single species can have far-reaching effects on the ecosystem, potentially leading to the collapse of the ecosystem or the extinction of other species. Therefore, the correct option is:
Disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.
