N the United States and Canada, bats use one of two strategies to survive winter: They either migrate south, or they hibernate.

Recently, those that hibernate seem to have come under attack by a fungus, Geomyces destructans (Gd), an attack that is occurring from Missouri to southern Canada. Many infected bats have a delicate, white filamentous mat on their muzzles, which is referred to as white-nose syndrome (WNS). The fungus invades the bat tissues, causes discomfort, and awakens the bat from its hibernation. The bat fidgets and wastes calories, using up its stored fat. The bat then behaves abnormally, leaving its cave during daytime in winter to search for food. Their food, primarily insects, is scarce during the winter, and the bats ultimately starve to death. Since 2007, it is estimated that up to one million bats have perished from WNS.
The Gd mat on the fur of the bats should be expected to consist of _____.

Answer:

Hyphae

Explanation:

It is given that the bat affected by fungus, Geomyces destructans (Gd) consists of delicate, white filamentous mat on their muzzles which could be possibly the hyphae.  

It is so because the hyphae is made of cells having tubular cell walls which more or less look like internal cross-walls having large pores to absorb nutrients from the surrounding environment (i.e bat’s body) and transport them to thallus. Hyphae are basically long thread like structures that spread throughout their food and release enzymes that break down the food

Advocard [28]

Answer:

It depends...

Explanation:

Group 1 is trying to obtain energy, so as we know that lipids and carbohydrates are the basic source of energy because of their storage properties and generation of ATP during glycolysis and lipid metabolism in our body.

Group 2  is trying to obtain nutrients so to rebuild their molecules and body cells they must take enough quantities of vitamins/minerals for that. Proteins are also crucial to for rebuilding lipo-proteins in cell wall of cell amke them crucial for them. They also play an important role in muscle cell repair and replacement due to their primary composition of actin and myosin filaments.

DNA is a nucleic acid molecule that undergoes a replication process to form a new daughter strand. The blue segment is the parental strand, and the yellow is the daughter strand.

<h3>What is replication?</h3>

Replication is the process of the central dogma that duplicates the copy of the parent strand into new daughter strands. The two helixes of the parent strand get separated to make the complimentary copy of the new strand.

The daughter DNA is semi-conservative and are complementary structure made from the duplication of the parent strand with the help of the replication enzymes.

Therefore, the daughter strands are the semi-conservative copies of the parental strand.
