The fairy ring represents the furthest advance of this mycelium through the soil. Locations A-D are all 0.5 metres below the soil surface. Which type of organisms made this structure (it wasn't a fairy!)? What is mycelium? Explain in one sentence each. Which location (A-D) most likely indicates the oldest part of this organism?

You decide to remove them from the ground by hand and dispose them in a corner because they will die off anyways. Few days later, you see even more fungi growing where you remove the original fungus.

Which type of organisms made this structure (it wasn't a fairy!)? What is mycelium? Explain in one sentence each. 2. Which location (A-D) most likely indicates the oldest part of this organism? Explain in 1-2 sentences.arrow_forwardSoil microorganisms, collectively referred to as dizotrophs, fix 90% of the inert nitrogen gas to ammonium and nitrate. There are two-main types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria: free-living (nonsymbiotic) and mutualistic (symbiotic). Describe the mutualistic relationship between Rhizobium and legumes. What is the advantage of using legumes as a cover crop in agricultural systems? A point of interest is that the nitrogenase enzyme complex is highly sensitive to oxygen. This is a major problem for free-living aerobic species such as cyanobacteria and species of the genera Azotobacter and Beiigrinckia. Describe two ways the bacteria can overcome to levels of oxygen in their cells.arrow_forward

Golden toads laid their eggs in shallow pools of water between the roots of cloud forest trees. Golden toad tadpoles lived in shallow pools of water on the cloud forest floor before developing into toadlets. Over warm ocean water, clouds form higher in the atmosphere. Golden toads had highly specialized reproductive habitat. Golden toads were found only in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica. The fossil record and current trends show that highly specialized species with small populations and narrow ranges are highly susceptible to extinction. Spring 1987 was the driest spring on record for Monteverde. All the golden toad tadpoles might have died during the spring of 1987 because their pools dried up before the young could lead a fully terrestrial life. The drier conditions at Monteverde in 1987 might have been caused by clouds forming higher in the atmosphere,…arrow_forward
