d. vascular tissues, autotrophic

Answer 1

a

Answer 2

Which scenario describes a mutually beneficial relationship with fungi in an ecosystem? (2 points)
Select one:
a. Fungus growing inside an anthill
b. Fungus growing on the leaves of plants
c. Fungus used as food for human consumption
d. Fungus used to make medications for humans

Answer 3

a because Ants consume fungus when they eat leaves and plants. It helps with their digestion. They also carry this fungus into their anthills on their bodies. The fungus grows inside the anthill and helps with the structural stability of the mound. It also breaks down dead organic materials that may collect in the hill. This symbiotic relationship is mutualistic because both species benefit from the alliance

Answer 6

Im not absolutely positive, but I think it's A. :))

Answer 7

It is water absorption

Answer 8

Lol sorry

Answer 9

Fungi cannot make their own food through photosynthesis. How do they take in nutrients?

Answer 10

its all good :)

Answer 11

they are heterotrophic (decomposers) they feed off of dead organic material

Answer 12

They break down dead plant and animal matter and consume it for energy

Answer 13

xplain the contribution that fungi make to their environment.

Answer 14

They break down decaying matter and return carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements

to the environment. Other organisms, especially plants, use these nutrients for energy, growth, and development. Tree Trunk

Termites need fungus in their guts to digest the cellulose in wood and leaves. The fungus benefits when the termite spreads it to other areas of the tree.

Soil

Many bacteria and fungi act as decomposers in the soil. It is a mutualistic relationship. Each organism supplies the other with broken-down food for consumption.

Garden

Fungus is a requirement for healthy gardens and crops. They return nutrients to the soil but they also limit or kill harmful pests, bacteria, or other fungi that can destroy crops. Some fertilizers and insecticides used in agriculture have these helpful fungal species within them.

Kitchen of a House

We need fungus for making bread, fermenting beer and wine, and creating a variety of cheeses and cured meats. We also use eat them in many food dishes, such as pizzas or chicken marsala. Unfortunately, our relationship with fungus is often commensalistic; we benefit from the pairing, but the fungus is usually destroyed in the process.

Medicine Cabinet of a House

We use fungi to make antibiotics and other medications that treat illnesses or diseases. One example is penicillin, a common antibiotic that kills bacterial infections. Another example is the hepatitis B vaccine to prevent the hepatitis viral infection.
