Final answer:
The correct answer is d) all of the above. Mowing can lead to a stop in root growth, water absorption, and carbohydrate exchange in plants.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is d) all of the above.
When an organism undergoes mowing, it can lose energy to repair the biological impact in several ways:
- It stops the growth of roots, which are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.
- It interferes with the water absorption of the plant, as the roots are unable to function optimally.
- It disrupts the carbohydrate exchange (CHO) process, which is crucial for the plant's energy production and growth.
Therefore, all of these effects can occur when energy is lost to repair a biological impact of mowing.
