How does capture and recapture effect the organisms chance of survival?
the marking makes them more viable to predators or makes them camoflague with their surroundings

What do detritivores do?
feed on dead and decaying material, increase surface area, break up substances to smaller bits, speeds up decay
2 of 11
What are saprophytes?
extracellular digeston, secret digestive enzymes, break down material, then absorbed by saprophytes
3 of 11
Explain the structure of the xylem vessels?
made of dead cell, lumen down the middle, Thick walls (cellulose, plant support) carry water and minerals
