Question

Which of these examples best describes the concept that form facilitates function?
a. Crickets must balance their resources between spermatophore production and immune defenses.
b. A desert jackrabbit has large ears that help eliminate excess heat.
c. An Antarctic fish maintains homeostasis by conforming to the stable, external temperature.
d. Honeybees will swarm around a predatory wasp and contract their flight muscles to generate a lethal ball of heat.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So how does having thorn shaped leaves help cacti maintain homeostasis in order to solve this problem. Remember that cacti are going to be living in very hot climates because of this. There are risk of transpiration which is when the water inside of the plant is lost as a gas. Now these plants such as cacti are going to desperately need water in order to achieve or maintain home, use stasis. If water is lost, they're not going to be able to So what do they do? Well, water is very much concentrated in the leaves of the plant. This is where photosynthesis is going to take place. So in order to reduce the rate of transpiration, they're going to decrease the surface area of the leaves of the cacti by having this thorn shaped leaves is very thin lives. So this is how they help maintain homeostasis. The very small surface area of this thin list are going to reduce the transpiration rate and this is going to decrease the water that is lost because of the hot climate that they can living. So because of this. The correct answer choice to our question is going to be answer choice a They reduce the transpiration process. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one
