Visible light, also known as white light, consists of a collection of component colors. These colors are often observed as light passes through a triangular prism. Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion.

Which of the following statements does NOT describe a vertebrate eye?
Scrat [10]

The correct answer is: d. it contains many light-sensing columns called ommatidia

Ommatidia are units that form compound eyes of arthropods such as insects, crustaceans and millipedes (these are invertebrates) and make them very sensitive to motion. Ommatidia are composed of photoreceptor cells (visual detection) surrounded by support cells and pigment cells.

The eyes of vertebrates are more complex showing that progressive improvements in the structure of the eye occurred during the evolution.

_______ fungi are those species that occur as either molds or yeast, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature a
Tasya [4]

Dimorphic fungi are those species that occur as either molds or yeast, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and nutrient availability.

Dimorphic fungi are fungi that can exist in the form of both mold and yeast. This is usually brought about by change in temperature and the fungi are also described as thermally dimorphic fungi. An example is Talaromyces marneffei, a human pathogen that grows as a mold at room temperature, and as a yeast at human body temperature.

The term dimorphic is commonly used for fungi that can grow both as yeast and filamentous cells, however many of these dimorphic fungi actually can grow in more than these two forms. Dimorphic is thus often used as a general reference for fungi being able to switch between yeast and filamentous cells, but not necessary limiting more shapes.

Some diseases caused by this fungi are:

  • sporotrichosis
  • blastomycosis
  • histoplasmosis
  • coccidioidomycosis
  • paracoccidioidomycosis
  • talaromycosis
  • candidiasis

Several species of dimorphic fungi are important pathogens of humans and other animals which  includes :

  • Coccidioides immitis
  • Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
  • Candida albicans
  • Blastomyces dermatitidis
  • Histoplasma capsulatum
  • Sporothrix schenckii
