Make a simple model illustrating how tomato plants might be able to detect insects on a neighboring plant and protect themselves from infestation and how the components of this system interact. Show how fungi transfer information from insect-infested tomato plants to nearby uninfested tomato plants. Be sure to label any inputs and outputs in the model.
Compare and Contrast a Chlorophyll lacking plant (Ghost Pipes, Albino Redwood, etc.) to fungi.
it is discovered that the algae-killing product (AlgaeBdead) that spilled in Lake Ontario also inhibits (slows) the growth of fungi in the lake.  Explain one way this would negatively affect the lake ecosystem.
