Why do plants have a greater disadvantage in unpredictable environments than animals?

Animals can move when the environment changes. (The "environment" is always changing; it has never been static.)
Plants can't move. Some plants, such as the kinds that have burrs, can send their offspring away; an animal brushes against the plant, the seeds attach to the animal's fur, and later on the animal scratches the seed off to fall in a new location.

Why does body mass affect proportions more significantly in terrestrial animals than in marine animals?
Marine animals are supported in part by the water in which they live, which allows greater body mass. Weight must be more evenly distributed in a terrestrial animal, as it is not supported by water.

Why some animals have good endurance while anothers have the ability to move very quickly but for a very short or time?
Why some animals have evolved to be faster, while others have more endurance I don't know.---- Genetically, this is determined by a difference in muscle fiber composition.Basically there are two types of muscle fiber:Type I (or slow-twitch) allow for low levels of exertion in which the muscles are used at well below their maximal contraction strength for long periods of time.Type II (or fast-twitch) allow for short bursts of higher intensity contractions at a much greater percentage of their maximum contraction strength.So animals with a greater percentage of type I will have more endurance, while animals with a greater percentage of type II will be faster.

Why does temperate zone support the greatest variety of organisms?
That is not usually true. The environments that have the greatest biodiversity are typically found in the tropics. The tropics receive a consistant supply of solar radiation and are more humid than environments elsewhere. This allows greater ecological complexity in tropical environments.

What is the disadvantage of a single stack system?
Advantages of single-stack are ease of using, reduced cost, greater flexibility and influence.
What is mechanical disadvantages?
Mechanical disadvantage occurs if the load distance is greater than the effort distance, then the effort required is more than the load being moved. It is also known as a 'negative mechanical advantage'.
What is a disadvantage of the incline plane?
* effort needs to move over a greater distance
Can ectotherms live in a greater variety of environments than endotherms can?
Ectotherms cannot live in a great variety of environments because they cannot produce their own body heat and rely on their environment (like the sun) to maintain their body temperatures. Therefore, ectotherms have to live in relatively warm climates. Endotherms, on the other hand, produce their own body heat and do not rely on the environment as much to maintain their body heat, so endotherms can live in a greater variety of environments.
Does an animal population get smaller or larger when the number of individuals that die is greater than the number if individuals that are born?
It gets smaller because the number of animals dying is greater than the number of animals being produced.
