Well plant cells have both chloroplasts and mitochondria, and what happens is photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast (they produce their own food to eat for energy (sugar/glucose). The outcome of photosynthesis is glucose and oxygen which then goes to the mitochondria (where the process of cellular respiration takes place) which takes in the glucose and oxygen and turns that into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy. Where the plant goes through the process of making the food first before going through the process of turning into energy, animals just have the mitochondria, so they consume foods for the sugars needed and the mitochondria do the same work they did in the plant, just minus the photosynthesis.

Researchers argue that some bacteria found in the human gut are in a symbiotic relationship with humans, called mutualism. Which

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Bacteria provides vitamins to humans

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that bacteria provides vitamins to humans.

<u>By definition, mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both benefit from each other.</u>

Bacteria in the gut of humans that provides vitamins to humans also benefit by making the human gut their shelter. While the vitamins represent an important nutrient to humans for their proper functioning, the shelter is also necessary for the bacteria for their safety.

<em>Hence, the observation that bacteria provide vitamins to humans is consistent with the argument of researchers that some bacteria found in the human gut are in a mutually beneficial relationship with humans.</em>

Applying fungicides to plants may result in the plants showing signs of phosphorus deficiency. What is the most likely explanati

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The fungicide destroys mycorrhizal symbionts.

Explanation:

Mycorrhizal symbionts is the symbiotic association that is present between plants and fungi. Plants provide food materials in the form of sugar to the fungi while fungi fixes phosphorus for the plant that is present in the soil in unavailable form. When fungicide is sprayed, it kills the fungi present in the soil and deficiency of phosphorus occurs in plants.
