Obligate symbiotic fungi that form associations with plants by entering their cortical cells without invading the plant cells membrane are called endomycorrhizae and include the genus Glomus. Many plants form associations called mycorrhizae with fungi that give them access to nutrients in the soil, protecting against disease and toxicities. In these associations the fungi are integrated into the physical structure of the root, where the fungi colonize the living root tissue during active plant growth.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Polymers of amino acids can be both fibrous as well as globular protein. Hemoglobin is a globular but the collagen is the fibrous protein both being the amino acids.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
- <em>Soluble in water: </em>globular protein is soluble in water.
- <em>intermediate filaments:</em> fibrous protein
- <em>Insoluble in water:</em> fibrous protein is insoluble in water.
- <em>function as structural proteins in the cell:</em> fibrous protein.
- <em>some function as enzymes: </em>globular protein.
- <em>structure is somewhat spherical;</em> globular protein.
- <em>structure is rod-like:</em> fibrous protein
The Everglades could become contaminated with pollutants like fertilizer used for agriculture.
This is false, as macronutrients are all made of organic components. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The most basic unit for carbohydrates is glucose. Glucose is an organic molecule with a chemical formula of C6H12O6 which then is broken down by the body to convert it to energy (in the form of ATP). Fats or triglycerides are comprised of fatty acids and a glycerol backbone which can also be used by the body for energy or can be stored for later use. Proteins on the other hand are functional molecules wherein the basic unit for proteins is the amino acid. Proteins are exemplified because they contain nitrogen (CHON). All of which can be used as energy and has specific caloric value per gram (4 kcal for every gram of protein and carbohydrates and 9 kcal for every gram of fat).
Micronutrients are usually inorganic compounds with no caloric value. Usually these micronutrients are essential for maintaining biochemical pathways in the body. For instance, niacin and riboflavin are vitamins that are needed in the production of NAD and FAD which are important for reduction-oxidation reactions in the body (i.e. tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain).
