Which population of organisms would begin the flow of energy through a desert food web? a) coyotes b) cactus finch c) beaded lizards d) mesquite shrubs

Mesquite shrubs

Explanation: In majority of the food webs, plants are the primary source of energy flow as they are the producers. Here also, mesquite shrubs is a kind of plant species which is consumed by cactus finch, which is a species of bird. Coyotes lie on the top of this food web, as they are the last ones to carry forward the energy flow.

The food web would look like this-

Mesquite shrubs > Beaded lizards > Cactus finch > Coyotes.

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
