When a petal is plucked from a flower, it will not remain alive for very long. It will soon start to decompose.
Explanation:
To understand this, we need to go back to the act of plucking the flower as such from the plant. The moment a flower is plucked from a plant, it stops receiving any further nutrition from the plant. Whatever nutrients were present in the flower at the time of plucking it will continue to keep it alive and once those nutrients are used up, the flower will start to decompose.
In this case, since the petal is plucked from a flower which already was surviving on limited nutrients, it will decompose very quickly.
According to the characteristics of life, it cannot be considered dead at the time it's plucked. It <u>continues to live, but for a very brief time</u>.

Complete question:
You hang a swing from a live tree branch that is roughly parallel to the ground. What will likely happen over time as the tree grows? Check All That Apply
- The swing will move farther away from the tree trunk.
- The swing will move up. away from the ground.
- The swing will remain in its original position.
- The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Answer:
The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Explanation:
The trunk or branch strangulation sadly occurs very often. When people tie a young tree with different materials, such as a rope, or a cable, or a wire, and leave it there, the leash will eventually strangulate the tree.
Strangulation occurs because the tree keeps growing, applying pressure on the leash. The vascular system is in the trunk perimeter under the crust. Through the years, the pressure increases, the trunk is even more strangulated, and the vascular system is affected. One of the first and principal effects of strangulation is the increase in the trunk or branch diameter over the leash. This diameter change is because elements of the sap can not go back to the roots and keep near the strangulation. At this point, there are two options:
- The tree can sort this by including the leash in its tissues, surrounding and absorbing it, and keep growing normally
or
- The vascular system is so affected that the tree can not sort this problem and so, those parts of the tree located over the leash dye.
<em>In the exposed example, it seems that the tree could make it and included the swing's ropes in the branch. </em>
Answer:
The Elephant can be defined as a KEYSTONE SPECIE
Explanation:
A KEYSTONE SPECIE is an animal specie that maintains an ecosystem relative to their population. These species' activities, play a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem. In this case, the elephant's activity of uprooting trees, helps in keeping the ecosystem in check, and support its current inhabitants.
