Xylem developed to transport water from the plants roots to the rest of the plant.
A waxy cuticle developed to prevent plants from being eaten by herbivores.
Stomata developed to allow water to enter the plants leaves from the atmosphere.
Seeds developed to provide a place for the plants genetic information to be stored.

The movement of tectonic plates in two different locations is shown below: two blocks labeled location a and location b are shown. at location a the top layer of the block shows two horizontal arrows pointing towards each other. small dunes are shown in the middle between the two arrows. the block labeled b has a vertical line in the middle. on the left of the line there is an arrow pointing down. on the right of the vertical line there is an arrow pointing up which statement is most likely true? subduction may occur in both locations. earthquakes may occur in both locations. subduction may occur in location a only and a volcanic eruption may occur in location b only. an earthquake may occur in location a only and a volcanic eruption may occur in location b only.

What is the best conclusion based on this data? the hypothesis was not supported because the data indicated that fertilizing plants does not improve plant growth. the hypothesis was supported; to get the best growth, use 5 milliliters of fertilizer per plant. the hypothesis was not supported; the data indicated that too much fertilizer can inhibit plant growth. the hypothesis was supported; to get the best growth, use 15 milliliters of fertilizer per plant.
