Fungi are eukaryotic and saprophytic microorganisms that grow on dead and decaying matter. These organisms release digestive enzymes that break down  leaves, fruit and other organic material into simple molecules. These can grow on wood, clothes, food, fruits, leather shoes, etc by breaking down complex organic matter into simpler forms with the help of extracellular digestive enzymes such as cellulases, proteases, phosphatases, etc.

Which of these statements about water is true? Which of these statements about water is true?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Its molecules are farther apart in the solid state than in the liquid state.

Explanation:

Unlike most other liquids that reduce in volume with decrease in temperatures, when water goes below 4 degrees centigrade, the volume begins to increase. This is due to the way the water molecules arrange themselves in ice. Water molecules are polar and align themselves with regards to their dipoles. The partially positive hydrogen ends tend to place themselves some distance between two partially negative oxygen ends of the adjacent molecules. This pushes the molecules farther apart in crystalline (solid) form than in liquid form.

Answer:

Asexual (vegetative) reproduction

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves only a single parent. As opposed to sexual reproduction, it does not involve the formation of sex cells or gametes.

According to this question, Bryophyllum, which is a plant known to propagate itself via its leaves is practicing a form of asexual reproduction called VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION, which is the propagation of a plant via its vegetative parts e.g. stems, leaves, cuttings etc.

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. What is added to ADP to form ATP?
White raven [17]

Electricity is added to recharge a battery. A third phosphate group  is added to ADP to form ATP.

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate contains adenine, ribose and 3 phosphate groups.

ADP is converted to ATP by the following reaction:

ADP+Pi+energy⇄ATP

The analogy between battery and ATP can be explained as ATP is higher energy form and ADP is lower energy form like charged and uncharged form of the battery. When the terminal or third phosphate is removed from the ATP it becomes ADP and releases energy like a battery. The additional phosphate group when added to ADP forms the ATP molecule like the energy spent by the batteries are recharged by putting in additional energy. Here the additional energy is provided by the third phosphate group.
