<p>But plants don’t use centromeres. I thought the question was specifically about sexual reporduction for animals?..</p>

<p>Nvm. wait is centromeres and centrioles the same? >.<</p>

<p>Yea disregard what I said. I thought it said centrioles.</p>

<p>i can’t remember the question but i don’t remember it not being a straightforward answer.</p>

<p>what did you get for the one about late succession?</p>

<p>@Niceboat</p>

<p>When I matched it, I got something like a little over 1000 for CO2/cm^2 leaf area/hour. I multiplied that by 3 to get roughly 3000.</p>

<p>@Emirald</p>

<p>I put later succession plants did better photosynthetically in low light intensity conditions.</p>

<p>@Shira. I got between 500-1000. Wasn’t it 200 light thing for the dotted line tree? I got 700ish for it. Or maybe I wasn’t thinking right.</p>

<p>Why do plants have thin leaves? To increase surface area for photosynthesis?</p>

<p>Also similarities in bats/_____? Was the answer homology or convergent evolution or what?</p>

<p>Convergent definitely.</p>

<p>And I also chose surface area.</p>

<p>@Shirafune: Thanks a lot!
@Niceboat: I was stuck with that question… I got 1000 but I wasn’t sure whether to multiply by 3 or not… In the end I did…</p>

<p>convergent evolution and yes, increase surface area for photosynthesis.</p>

<p>ahh, no wonder. i don’t think i multiplied by three. :expressionless:
great, another wrong. ):</p>

<p>Plants have thin leaves to increase surface area for photosynthesis. The similarities in bats/_____? was due to convergent evolution (analogous structures).</p>

<p>I must have definitely read the graph wrong, now 2 people got 1,000.</p>

<p>I didn’t understand the succession question at all. I just chose the answer something to with shade. Probably wrong.</p>

<p>My new count: 2 wrong (both VERY silly mistakes -_-)</p>

<p>4 omitted</p>

<p>@Niceboat: It was not the answer about the shade… if you remind me some of the answers or the question I may tell you what the answer was. I studied this is Environmental Science class though o.0</p>

<p>I’m almost positive it was 3,000 (1000x3)</p>

<p>Revisiting the haploid gametes question, Barron’s says that Parthenogenesis is “The development of an egg without fertilization. The resulting adult is monoploid(haploid)”. Wikipedia: “There are examples of parthenogenesis in the hammerhead shark and the blacktip shark. In both cases, the sharks had reached sexual maturity in captivity in the absence of males, and in both cases the offspring were shown to be genetically identical to the mothers.” My main focus on the question was the word “multicellular”, indicating that the zygote must have undergone some sort of cellular division.</p>

<p>wait so for the carrot one, what did you guys say when it asked something like “why did the carrot become flexible?”
I said something about water evaporation preventing protein synthesis?</p>

<p>I know. It probably isn’t shade. I don’t remember the question much. So far 2 omit 4 wrong.</p>

<p>Kiwi. It’s evaporation of water, causing the cell to shrink. It doesn’t have anything to do with protein synthesis.</p>

<p>Evaporation of water caused cell membranes to shrink away from cell walls, make them rigid or “less flexible”</p>

<p>@Niceboat
I put something like they are able to conduct photosynthesis than the other two in low intensity light conditions.</p>

<p>i put what shirafune put. they’re better in low intensity light conditions.</p>
