The nutritional mode of a fungus with your own nutritional mode.

Introduction:

The interaction between nutrients and other particles present in food is interpreted with the help of nutrition science. The diet is the intake of food by the organism which helps in growth, health and reproduction. Some organisms can make their own food like plants while some cannot and dependent on the food prepared by the other organisms. The organism that cannot prepare their own food by fixing carbon dioxide and other nutrients from the environment is known as heterotrophs.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
