Summary Introduction

To justify: Opisthokonts are the superclass of fungi.

Introduction: Fungi are haploid eukaryotic organisms having hair-like hyphae which cluster together to form mycelium. They can be single-celled or multi-celled organisms. They are mostly saprophytic but the parasitic form is also present. They are the biggest factor of loss of farm produce. The phylogenetic research and molecular phylogeny have given a vast amount of information about the development of different classes of fungi.

Summary Introduction

To justify: Microsporidia is classified as fungi.

Introduction: Fungi are haploid eukaryotic organisms having hair like hyphae which cluster together to form mycelium. They can be single-celled or multi-celled organisms. They are mostly saprophytic but the parasitic form is present. They are the biggest factor of loss of farm produce. In recent years fungi are used to produce a variety of biochemical, enzymes, and drugs.

Summary Introduction

To justify: Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes are regarded as “sister clades”.

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?
