A.
The fungi share a mutualistic association with the trees.
B.
The fungi are a parasite for trees.

Answer:

A.  The fungi share a mutualistic association with the trees.

Explanation:

Mutualistic relationship is a type of ecological interaction in which two species live in close association to benefit each other. In this example since both mycorrhizae and fungi are being benefited out of each other it is mutualistic relationship. The fungi gets energy from the tree for its survival and in return breaks down dead organic matter for the tree so as to make nutrients available for the tree.

If you are a scientist trying to determine if an organism evolve to gradually a rapidly, how would patterns in the fossil record
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Fossil records help scientists understand about how and when an organism might have evolved. It also helps determine how many evolutionary changes a particular specie might have gone through.

The long-term evolutionary patterns for a specie can be determined by fossils. Fossil record will help us analyze all the evolutionary changes that a species might have gone through to evolve into a particular type.

The gradual evolution of a species can be predicted if the fossil records show small, increment changes in the fossil patterns.

On the other hand, rapid evolution will result when there are no intermediate fossils depicted for a specie. That specie might have aroused due to a sudden change.

Which of the following is NOT true about the absorption of fats?
babunello [35]

Answer:

The best choice from the answer options for the question: Which of the following is NOT true about absorption of fats, would be: C: The chylomicrons enter the blood in the villi capillaries.

Explanation:

Because of the characteristics of fatty acids, and fats in general, they are not able to either pass the intestinal enterocytes, and enter the bloodstream, as easily as glucose, or other molecules, can. Instead, they first must be passed into the enterocytes, the intenstines´ cells, by their combination with bile. Once inside the intestine, the enterocytes take up the fats and combines them with lipoproteins and cholesterol in order to create the chylomicrons. But before these chylomicrons can make their way to the blood, first they must be taken up by the lymphatic vessels present in the villus of the intestinal epithelium, not the blood capillaries. It will be the lymphatic system which will be reponsible for passing the fats to the bloodstream, who will then distribute them to the appropriate cells in the body as energy is required. Or they will be taken for storage by the liver.
