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_forwardGinkgophyta Ways in which humans have affected their population or threatened their biodiversity: a)What is biodiversity and why does it matter to us? (general - for all phyla/classes) b)Just how diverse is the biodiversity of your phylum/class? c)What could be destroying the biodiversity of your phylum/class? d)Could the loss of biodiversity be a greater threat to humanity than climate change? e)What can we do about minimizing or eliminating the threat to their biodiversityarrow_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_forward

How would their foodsources have differed from what they feed on today?arrow_forwardFungi and Animals are distantly related to each other. One trait animals and fungi share however is; Both groups are immobile Both groups undergo an alternation of generations Both have heterokaryotic cells Both groups are heterotrophsarrow_forwardLichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.arrow_forward
- How are bacteria and fungi related? How are humans and fungi related?arrow_forwardA 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. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work. 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. "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." O D.

- If all of the saprophytic fungi in an ecosystem died, which of the following would be a likely short-term result? 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_forwardResearch an interesting example of mutualism, and present your findings in a post. The goal here is to provide examples beyond what is presented in lecture and/or your textbook. These can be animal-animal, animal-fungal, plant-fungal, plant-animal, bacteria-animal....the sky is the limit! For this particular forum, you'll be able to see other classmates postings even before you post your own. This is so you can present an example that's different from what's already been discussed. Remember that mutualistic interactions are associations that benefit both parties -- so your response should clearly indicate the role each partner plays. Let us know where these organisms are found, what kind of habitat they live in, and any other interesting , pertinent information. Also, please comment on how natural selection likely played a role in the development of your example. You can use your imagination a bit here -- I'd just like to see you connect the ideas. Your posting must be at least…arrow_forwardFungi and animals are both part of a group called Opisthokonta. The vast majority of fungi are multicellular. However, their sister taxon consists of unicellular species. Animals also are multicellular and their closest relatives are again unicellular. Briefly describe the two hypotheses that could explain the origin of multicellularity in the Opisthokonta, and then explain which of the two is the more likely hypothesisarrow_forward
