The cell walls of fungi are strengthened by chitin, a strong but flexible polysaccharide. Which of these statements about the function of chitin in fungal cell wall is TRUE?
a.
Chitin-rich walls of fungi improves feeding by facilitated diffusion.
b.
The movement of water and nutrients into fungal cells creates pressure that could cause them to burst if they were not surrounded by a chitin-rich cell wall.
c.
The chitin present in fungal cell wall does not impart any advantage in terms of nutrient acquisition from the environment.
d.
Chitinous tubular cell walls confers motility to multicellular fungi.
Lichens 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.

- The Greek root endo means "within" or "internal." Why are endomycorrhizal fungi, or AM Fungi, aptly named? 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_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. 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.arrow_forwardDr. Rodo and is colleague Mr. Simms were studying the effect of a particular herbacide on the activity of plant cells.

Fungi digest their food before ingesting it.arrow_forwardWhile exploring a forest, you come upon a plant that you haven't seen before. You dig it up and take it back to your lab for further inspection. Back at the lab, you observe the characteristic structure of the plant and make some notes. Then, you carefully dissect the stems and leaves and look at the tissue under the microscope. Finally, you are able to determine the type of plant it is. Use the notes below to identify the class to which this plant belongs. Notes on physical characteristics of the specimen: the plant has no leaves or roots, but has hair-like rhizomes which anchors it in the soil the stems are highly branched sporangia are present at the ends of each stem dissection of the stem shows the presence of vascular tissue in the form of a xylem and phloemarrow_forward

The company has isolated two different fungal species, F. cattoriae and W. gravinius, both of which can grow at temperatures exceeding 95°C. The company has determined the following things about these fungal species (see attached image) By sequencing and examining their genomes, the biotech company hopes to understand why these species can live in extreme environments. However, the company only has the resources to sequence one genome, and would like your input as to which species should be sequenced and whether you believe a shotgun strategy will work in this case.arrow_forward
