Summary Introduction

To explain: The effect on fungal hyphae, growing in a substrate with a higher solute concentration.

Introduction: Fungi are heterotrophic organisms and utilize organic compounds which are known as substrates to fulfil their nutritional requirements. Soil, pieces of bread, and many other materials can act as substrate for fungi. Enzymes released by fungi, break down the complex organic molecules into small organic molecules which can be easily absorbed by fungi.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The relation between fungal hyphae growing in a substrate with a higher solute concentration and food preservation techniques such as drying or salting.

Introduction: “Fungi are heterotrophic in nature”. They utilize organic compounds, known as substrate, to fulfil their nutritional requirements. Soil, pieces of bread, and many other materials act as a substrate. The enzymes released by fungi break down the complex organic molecules into small organic molecules which can be easily absorbed by fungi. Hyphae are microscopic, branched filaments which give rise to the fungi body known as mycelium.

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
