How might a wildfire help the longleaf pine population survive a deadly fungal infection on the needles of seedlings?

Fire kills fungus thereby preventing apical meri-stem for future growth

Explanation:

Longleaf pine are resistant to the surface fire. The apical meri-stem is located at greater heights due to which they remain outside the reach of fire and hence they are well-protected from surface fire. The apical meri-stem is further protected by insulation from needles and bud scales

Frequent surface fires are used to prevent the entry of devastating foreign species such as fungus

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
