Question

what feature of water allows sunlight to penetrate to rooted plants, allowing them to photosynthesize? temperature specific heat the density transparency

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Temperature: Relates to heat, not light penetration. Eliminate.
• Specific heat: Involves heat absorption, not light. Eliminate.
• Density: Concerns mass/volume, not light passage. Eliminate.
• Transparency: Water's transparency lets sunlight pass to submerged plants for photosynthesis. This matches the question's context.

Answer:

D. transparency
