One reason fungi are no longer classified as plants is the presence of chitin in their cell walls.

Biology
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
6 0
The answer is A, true. 

Fungal cells have cell walls which are made out of chitin, unlike plant cells, their cell walls are made up of cellulose. 

Other reasons that why fungi are not classified as plants include that because they have no chloroplast, instead they feed on dead organic matters. Another reason is that they store carbohydrates in form of glycogen, instead of plants which store carbohydrates as starch instead.

Name the different parts of the chloroplast.
Musya8 [376]

Answer: Two membranes contain and protect the inner parts of the chloroplast. They are appropriately named the outer and inner membranes. The inner membrane surrounds the stroma and the grana (stacks of thylakoids). One thylakoid stack is called a granum.

What does the electrochemical communication do in the body?
erastova [34]
The Nervous system of the body consists of all the nerve cells. It is the body's "speedy" electrochemical communication system.
every neuron (nerve cell) has a long process known as 'axon' which is used to contact the next cell in the circuit. The receiving cell (another neuron) has small processes called 'dendrites' which are contacted by the axon. Now the neurons, like all other cells in the body, are enclosed by a selectively permeable cell membrane - which means it allows certain chemicals to pass through, while others are prevented from entering or leaving the cell

What did the orbiter do for 5 months once it reached the planet? ​ ​
nydimaria [60]
During aerobraking, the spacecraft used friction from the Martian atmosphere to slow down and to trim its initial 35-hour, elliptical orbit around the red planet to a two-hour, near-circular orbit. The final orbit was more suitable for science operations and ideal for making highly detailed observations of the surface

The half-life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years. Suppose a fossil is found with 50% of Carbon-14 as compared to a living sample. How ol
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

5732 years

Explanation:

Radioactive decay can be determined by using the equation:

N_t = N_0e^{- \lambda t}

where;

N_t = number of decayed atoms at time (t)

N_0 = initial number of decayed atoms

\lambda = decay constant

So, if we equate the natural log of the above; we have:

In(N_t) = In(N_0)-\lambda t

\frac{In(N_t)} { In(N_0)}} = -\lambda t

where;

\lambda = \frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

\lambda = \frac{0.693}{5730}

\lambda = 1.209*10^{-4

In(\frac{50}{100}) =-(1.209 *10^{-4})*t

-0.693 = -(1.209*10^{-4})*t

t= \frac{0.693}{1.209*10^{-4}}

t = 5732.01 years

t = 5732 years.

Hence, the fossil is 5732 years old.
