How do the two species that make up a lichen benefit from their symbiotic association? (Select all that apply.)

Biology
1 answer:
Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

the correct answers are C and D: "<em>Both partners are able to grow on substrates on which each would not be able to grow on their own</em>", and "<em>The fungi receive carbohydrates and, in some cases nitrogen, from the algae, while the algae gain a "home" that anchors them on the substrate</em>".

Explanation:

Lichens are the result of a symbiotic association between algae and a fungus. These two organisms must cooperate to survive in places under certain inhospitable conditions, where otherwise, they would not be able to survive by themselves. Algaes are the photosynthetic organisms that provide carbohydrates to fungus. These last ones, get the carbon and energy they need to grow, and in exchange, they protect the algae from dehydration and radiation, and they might also provide minerals for their survival. Algae can also get a way to get attached to the substrate. When instead of regular algae, there is a prokaryotic cyanobacterium, these can also supply with fix nitrogen to fungus, in the form of nitrogenous compounds.

Cells are the building blocks for organs and large organ systems, such as the respiratory system. How does your investigation su
atroni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

An organism is a body which is made up of many organ systems and parts. Organs constitute these organ systems. Then we will notice that these organs are made up of different types of tissues. Tissues are further analyzed under microscope to see millions of cells. By increasing the magnifying power, we can see that the cells are made up of further small molecules called atoms.  

So starting form atom leads to further steps and development steps, an organism is formed. Atoms combine to form cells and each cell in the body perform the same function as our body as a whole perform. No smaller components can perform important functions of body other than cells. That’s y cells are known to be as the fundamental unit of life.

Genetically engineered pork has a higher flesh-to-bone ratio. Which of the following sentences explains how pork is genetically
Oksanka [162]
The answer is A)<span> the desired gene is inserted into the genomes of the pork.

</span>

The techniques of genetic engineering are used to introduce hybrid genes for some desired substance or protein or trait into other organisms. Here, the desired gene is inserted into pork's genome and as a result, it has a <span>higher flesh-to-bone ratio</span><span>.</span>

<span>- B) is not the right answer because it is not necessary to change all the genes in the pork genome or it will be transformed into totally different organism.</span>

<span>- C) is not the right answer because the pork does not have plasmids.</span>

The faster a cheetah can run, the more likely it is to capture its prey. Cheetahs with longer legs are able to run faster than t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is the more likely explanation, as there must be a limit to leg length in an animal that has to run very fast and strain their muscles and bones to the limit to do so.

As for the other options, there is no evidence to conclude that the genes that are involved in cheetahs leg length do not undergo mutation because the population exhibits a variety of leg lengths. Neither can we conclude that there are any isolated subgroups in the pupulation. Natural selection does act upon the traits involved in predation, as the question starts by saying that the faster a cheetah can run the more likely it is to capture its prey.
