WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION As you read inthis chapter, fungi have long formed symbiotic associationswith plants and with algae. In a short essay (100–150 words),describe how these two types of associations may lead toemergent properties in biological communities.
Please try to break the solutions into as many steps as practically possible and the steps should come one by one and they should be short and crisp and plagiarism-free.
The symbiotic association between fungi and algae iscalled(a) lichen (b) mycorrhiza(c) rhizome (d) endomycorrhiza
A student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work.
A-You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.
B- You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.”
C-“You have all of the information correct.”
D- All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.

- A scientist sequences the genome of Chara, red algae, and a tomato plant. What result would support the conclusion that Charophytes should he included in the F’/amae kingdom? The Chara genome is more similar to the red algae than the tomato plant All three genomes are distinctly different The Chara genome is more similar to the tomato plant genome than the red algae genome The tomato plant genome is distinct from the red algae genome.arrow_forwardFungi have an extremely high surface-area-to-volume ratio. What is the advantage of this to an organism that gets most of its nutrition through absorption? O This high ratio means that fungi have a thick, fleshy structure that allows the fungi to store more of the food it absorbs. O The larger surface area allows for more material to be transported through the cell membrane. O This high ratio creates more room inside the cells for additional organelles involved in absorption. O The lower volume prevents the cells from drying out too quickly, which can interfere with absorption. MacBook Pro G Search or typ e URL %23 %2$ % & 3 4 5 8 E R Y F G H. K トarrow_forwardWHAT IF?

- Both bacteria and fungi are major environmental decomposers. Obviously competition exists in any given environment, but fungi usually have an advantage. What characteristics specific to fungi provide this advantage?arrow_forwardRead these two statements about plant-fungal interactions, then pick the statement below that is TRUE. (A) Root fungi in phylum Ascomycota can cause plants to produce antioxidants that provide protection against the stress of drought, and plants feed carbon to the fungi in their roots. (B) Root fungi and plants have evolved mutual benefits through a long history of interaction, in which fungi that provided the greatest benefits to plants had the highest fitness because of the carbon the plants fed them, and plants that supported fungi had the highest fitness because of the protection provided by the fungi. (A) is a proximate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is an ultimate cause. O (A) is an ultimate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is a proximate cause. Understanding plant-fungal interactions would NOT require cost-benefit analysis because there are no fitness trade-offs. (A) is an innate behavior and (B) is a learned behavior.

Select one: O a. their hyphae form tree-like branching structures inside plant root cells O b. they are mutualistic c. their hyphae form dense mats that surround roots but do not penetrate the cell walls O d. they form clamp connection that link cells togetherarrow_forwardHow are bacteria and fungi related?

- A common soil fungal species is suddenly detected as an aggressive wheat pathogen, decimating crops around the world by causing a wheat disease that has the same symptoms as a well-known bacterial plant pathogen. In an attempt to mitigate the damage, you are selected to investigate the origins of this fungal disease. Design a plan to address this issue that includes: A well justified hypothesis for the origin of the disease • An experiment to test your hypothesis • A cartoon of how the data would look like if your hypothesis is validated (yes, draw a graph/diagram of the data that would support your hypothesis)arrow_forwardA student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals.

Fungi Only Animals Only Both May be multicellular or unicellular Eukaryotic Multicellular Can reproduce asexually or sexually No cell wall Has a cell wall Heterotrophic Which feedback would be the MOST accurate? O A. "All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move 'may reproduce sexually or asexually 'to fungi only." B.

Group of answer choices Plants would not be able to absorb nutrients from the soil as effectively Dead plant material would be decomposed more quickly, releasing higher levels of CO2 Less carbon dioxide would be released into the atmosphere because dead plant material would not be decomposed Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apart Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apartarrow_forward
