Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.
A woodcutter could justify cutting trees for use say in a pioneering situation whereby the pioneer needs shelter and food so trees could be necessary to say construct a small log cabin and table for eating/preparing food at to ensure the survival of the pioneer.
Answer:
it´s <u><em>B</em></u> the answer is B
Explanation:
thats just the answer i think not too sure really but feel free to correct me is you like my dude.
Uses energy responds to the environment
The right answer is It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate reactions.
It takes six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water to synthesize a molecule of glucose, releasing six molecules of oxygen, thanks to the light energy.
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2
<u>But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:</u>
Light phase or photochemical phase:
12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy (24 H).
The Calvin cycle (dark phase):
6 CO2 + chemical energy (24 H) ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.
