The photograph shows rockweed. Which feature allows rockweed to withstand the constant wave action of its environment?
A. The ability to carry out chemosynthesis
B. The ability to firmly attach to rocks
C. The ability to produce its own light
D. The ability to carry out photosynthesis

B

Explanation:

This is the answer because if the rockweed is able to firmly attach its self to the rocks it would be able to withstand the constant wave action

The tendency to firmly attach to rocks allows rockweed to withstand the constant wave action of its environment.

It is a brown alga and grows in the rich intertidal zone.

The holdfast of a rockweed permits it to withstand the constant wave action of its surroundings.

Holdfast is a tiny stem-like composition which allows the weed to anchor firmly to the rocks.

The rockweeds possess some of the advantages over the normal weeds that permits them to sustain in water like the intense developed root systems.

Thus, the correct answer is option B, that is, the ability to firmly attach to rocks.

To know more about:

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
