Crops are protected from disease-causing fungi by use of fungicides or by the use of genetically engineered fungi-resistant crop

s. Which statement BEST describes how the two techniques differ in reducing fungal infestations of crop plants?
A) Fungicides kill plants infected with fungi, while genetic engineering modifies fungal DNA.
B) Fungicides kill the source of food for fungi, while genetic engineering helps to make fungi-infected plants edible.
C) Fungicides interfere with fungal growth and reproduction, while genetic engineering produces plants resistant to fungi.
D) Fungicides change fungal DNA, while genetic engineering helps the crops and the fungi to form a symbiotic relationship.

Correct answer: C). Fungicides interfere with fungal growth and reproduction, while genetic engineering produces plants resistant to fungi.  

Fungicide is a chemical substance that is known to cause toxicity in fungi in order to kill them. Its use can help to reduce the number of fungal infection that causes great loss to plants and its productivity.

In genetic engineering, the DNA of plants is altered in such a way that it produces a toxic protein, which will kill the fungi when it tries to infect them or slow down the growth of the plant.

Please help me...Why is it important for a health care provider to maintain accurate patient records?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

An accurate written record detailing all aspects of patient monitoring is important, not only because it forms an integral part of the of the provision of care or nursing management of the patient, but because it also contributes to the circulation of information amongst the different teams involved in the patient’s treatment or care.

Surface area is an important factor in limiting cell growth because
julia-pushkina [17]

Surface area is an important factor in limiting cell growth because

a. the cell can burst if the membrane becomes too large.

b. materials cannot enter the cell if the surface is too large.

c. the cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes.

d. waste products cannot leave the cell if the cell is too small.

Answer:

c. the cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes.

Explanation:

The exchange of substances with surroundings is done by cells by the process of diffusion. The rate of diffusion of substances requires the presence of a higher surface area than volume. As the cells become larger, their surface area is reduced with respect to the volume. Therefore, larger cells can not support the diffusion of substances in and out as required for its proper functioning. If cells are allowed to grow continuously, they will not be able to intake the requires materials such as food and to release the waste outside.
