Fungi often function as decomposers in an ecosystem. If you traced the carbon in a molecule of carbon dioxide from the air into

a molecule of glucose inside a fungal cell, what other organisms did it have to go through (if any) to get into the fungus?

Answer:

algae

Explanation:

<em>If a carbon in a molecule of carbon dioxide from the air is traced into a molecule of glucose inside a fungal cell, the carbon must have gone through an algae in order to get into the fungus.</em>

Fungi generally do not have the ability to fix carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. However, they are able to form a symbiotic relationship with algae through an organism known as lichen.

In lichen, the fungi and the algae enter a mutually beneficial relationship in which the fungi provide moisture and nutrient to the algae and in turn, the algae provide food to the fungi out of the sugar produced from photosynthesis.

<em>Hence, a carbon traced from the air to a fungi most likely passed through an algae as a result of symbiotic relationship between the two organisms.</em>

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

1. antibodies

2. hormones

3. kidney stones

4. transport proteins

5. protein-energy malnutrition

6. coenzymes

7. buffer

8. kwashiorkor

Explanation:

1. ANTIBODIES are proteins that aid the immune system in its fight against bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substance by binding to them and helping to inactivate or destroy them.

2. HORMONES are substances made of protein or lipid released into the bloodstream in order to direct physiological activity in the body.

3. A high-protein diet can increase the risk of KIDNEY STONES because the body will have an increased acid level.

4. TRANSPORT PROTEINS carry many substances through the blood or allow movement of substances in and out of cells.

5. PROTEIN-ENERGY MALNUTRITION is the phenomenon used to describe an inadequate intake of proteins and/or calorie content.

6. COENZYMES are molecules that play vital roles in the function of an enzyme. Coenzyme in form of vitamins are utilized by enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.

7. Proteins can act like BUFFER (a substance with a stable pH) in order to regulate the acid-base balance in the body.

8. KWASHIORKOR is a malnutrition deficiency that result from the insufficiency of dietary protein, resulting in swelling in the feet, legs, and stomach among other symptoms.

It is often easier to determine if an object or organism possesses the characteristics of life rather than life itself.
Vladimir [108]
True.

It is easier since there are a lot of theories that could sum up and provide evidence to support that an object has life than life itself.

One popular theory is the cell theory which states that all organism is made up of cells, cell that came from those pre-existing cells, and reproduce by those cells themselves.

Class ii mhc proteins are found on which of the following cell types?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The answer to the question: Class II MHC proteins are found on which of the following cell types, would be: on macrophages and lymphocytes, particularly T-Cells.

Explanation:

MHC, or Major histocompatibility complex, is a very important part of the immune response that the body gives against an invading pathogen, or other foreign substances. There are three types in the human body, Class I, Class II and Class III and each of them will play a role on the cellular membrance of different types of cells and mediate different types of responses. In the human body, this histocompatibility complex is best known as HLA, or human leukocyte antigen, and it will ensure the recognition, or non-recognition of substances, tissues, and other organisms, by the human immune system. Class II, as mentioned before, are most usually found on the immune cells macrophages and lymphocytes, and they are the ones responsible for presenting antigens to these proteinic antibodies so that the immune cells can initiate a proper immune response.
