Answer & explanation:

Fungi have long been regarded as organisms that were part of the <em>Plantae</em> kingdom (plants), mainly because they have cell walls in their cells, reproduce by spores, and the fact that some of them are sessile (attached to the ground).

However, fungi are no longer considered as plants because they do not have chlorophyll or specialized cells, such as chloroplasts and vacuoles. In addition, fungi have heterotrophic nutrition (plants are autotrophic), needing to absorb organic substances to survive.

Nowadays, fungi are studied in isolation and are inserted in their own kingdom, the <em>Fungi</em> kingdom.

Where do scientists obtain adult stem cells?<br> saliva<br> pancreas<br> skin<br> bone marrow
Alex17521 [72]
<span> Embryonic stem cell research is kind of a dead area now since there is no way to control the differentiation. Most research is being done on adult stem cells to help map and control the differentiation process.

Stem-cells from aborted fetuses - The government doesn't sponsor this, if it is done it is by private companies not located in the USA. You could try researching umbilical cord stem cells to be somewhere near your topic. They come from the afterbirth of normal deliveries.

You could do a much easier report by covering cloning of mice through stem-cell technology. It is happening and helping scientists understand diseases. </span>

How does phospholipid structure relate to the selective permeability of the plasma membrane? a critical feature of the plasma me
Katen [24]
The structure of plasma membrane makes it selectively permeable allowing it to regulate the passage of substances into and out of the cell. Small nonpolar molecules can easily across the phospholipid bilayer of plasma membrane because it is hydrophobic. Polar molecules and ion cannot easily across the hydrophobic portion of plasma membrane because it is hydrophilic. Polar molecules and ions usually across the plasma membrane with the help of transport proteins.
