Answer:

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms belonging to the kingdom fungi that are very widespread in most Earth habitats where they are primarily involved in recycling of nutrients and the decomposition of organic matter such that they aid in completing the food web and enabling the balanced ecosystem

In humans, fungi have the harmful effect of causing illnesses such as asthma, eye infections and are likely associated to alzheimer's disease as well as several other serious and some potentially lethal health conditions

However, fungi are known to aid humanity in such aspects including;

Natural pesticides

Agriculture

Food production

Medicine

Explanation:

Natural pesticides

Fungi which are pathogen of specific insect pest aid in the minimization of the harmful effect of pests on food crops such that microbial fungi pesticides can be sourced in the market

Agriculture

Fungi are necessary for the survival and growth of up to 80% of all grasses and trees

Explain e.o. wilson’s theory of island biogeography as it applies to environments other than islands physically surrounded by wa
laiz [17]

Today, any environment surrounded by other ecosystems that are unlike it is subject to Wilson’s theory of island biogeography. Because they are geographically isolated from other related ecosystems, these ecologies are referred to as "islands." Waterbodies divide tropical islands, but this idea also takes into account mountaintops, caverns, and other isolated ecosystems.

<h3>What is Wilson’s theory of island biogeography?</h3>
  • The biologist Edward O. Wilson and environmentalist Robert MacArthur published The Theory of Island Biogeography in 1967. It is widely considered as a foundational work in the ecology and biogeography of islands. The book was reissued by the Princeton University Press in 2001 as a volume in their "Princeton Landmarks in Biology" series.
  • The hypothesis that insular biota maintain a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and immigration rates was made more well-known by the book. An island's pace of new species immigration will decline as the number of species increases, while the rate of extinction of native species will rise.
  • Thus, MacArthur and Wilson anticipate that there will come a point of equilibrium where the rate of immigration and the rate of extinction are equal.

!!!!!How do radioactive elements help scientists establish how old rocks and fossils are?!!!!
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

I will give a hypothesis. Just like a tree, when you cut a tree by its trunk, you will the rings. The rings around it represents the tree's age. So when you cut rock, the pores in the rock determine whether it is an old rock or a fossil rock.

Explanation:

The reason is, if it is limestone and it is an old rock, the pores will be slightly big and if the limestone is a fossil rock, then the pores will be bigger due to leaching or denaturing of the minerals in the rock through the ages.
