Why do veins have valves

Biology
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago

Answer:

a.Most bacteria and fungi are harmless and may be beneficial to other living things.

Explanation:

Bacteria and Fungi are two distinct organisms that belong to different class of organisms. Fungi are eukaryotic while bacteria are prokaryotic. Although they both exist in different life forms such as being parasitic, saprophytic etc. most bacteria and fungi species are harmless and may even be beneficial to other living things.

Bacteria and Fungi are beneficial to other organisms in the sense that they form mutualistic relationships with other living organisms. For example, certain species of bacteria helps to fix nitrogen in the root nodules of leguminous plants, while fungi forms a mutualistic relationship with algae called LICHEN where they benefit one another in a way or the other.
