The answer is the third one: sexual reproduction.

Explanation for each option:

  • Water absorption: This is incorrect. Water absorption in plants is primarily carried out by the roots, not by cones or flowers.

  • Food production: This is incorrect. Food production in plants occurs through photosynthesis, which takes place in the leaves, not in cones or flowers.

  • Sexual reproduction: This is correct. Both cones in gymnosperms and flowers in angiosperms are specialized structures for sexual reproduction. They contain the reproductive organs necessary for the production of seeds.

  • Photosynthesis: This is incorrect. Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the leaves of plants, not in cones or flowers.

In summary, cones and flowers are specialized for sexual reproduction in plants.

A lighthouse stands 400 m off a straight shore and the focused beam of its light revolves three times each minute. As shown in the figure, P is the point on shore closest to the lighthouse and Q is a point on the shore 175 m from P. What is the speed of the beam along the shore when it strikes the point Q? Describe how the speed of the beam along the shore varies with the distance between P and Q. Neglect the height of the lighthouse. Let x be the distance along the shore from point P to the beam and let θ be the angle through which the light revolves. Write an equation that relates x and θ. tan θ = x / 400 Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to t. dx / dt = (400 sec^2 θ) dθ / dt When the beam strikes the point Q, its speed along the shore is about 8981 m / min.

Assume that an airline operates a 158-seat McDonnel Douglas MD-90 on a particular route. Historically, the probability of a passenger showing up for a flight is 91%. 1. Assume that 158 tickets were sold. Let X be the number of passengers who showed up for the flight. a. Describe the distribution of X : X ~ ? (n=158, p=0.91) b. Find the probability that the flight is not full, in other words, find the probability that not all passengers will show up: P(X ≤ 157)=0.9 (Round the answer to 4 decimal places) c. Find the expected number of passengers who show up for the flight: E[X]=142 (Round the answer to the whole number) d. Find the expected number of empty seats by subtracting the E[X] from the plane capacity: 14 (Round the answer to the whole number) 2. Assume that the airline sells 7 more ticket(s). Let Y be the number of passengers who showed up for the flight. a. Describe the distribution of Y : Y ~ ? (n=, p=) b. Find the probability that more passengers will show up than the plane can carry: P(Y> )= (Round the answer to 4 decimal places)
