Question

a.) segmentaion
b.) compartmentalization
c.) diffusion
d.) decomposition

*please dont guess, thanks!

Answer 1

If you don't know the answer, just use process of elimination. It's obviously not decomposition, becase that would lead to the plants death. It's also obviously not diffusion, because that is when a cell has a low concentration of a substance, with a high concentration of the same substance on the outside of its cell membrane, and the substance moves through the cell membrane to reach an equilibrium.
That leaves you with 2 options.
Either segmentation, or compartmentalization.

Because segmentation is when a plant or mamal body is broken up into several parts, with each having its own charicteristics, segmentation is the answer is highly unlikely.

That just leaves compartmentalization, which is the correct answer.
