Fungi are heterotropic eukaryotes organisms. They use decaying organic material as their food so they are called saprophytes. An organism that derives its nourishment from dead nor decaying organic matter is called saprophyte. I hope this helps!

A scientist crossed a tall pea plant with a short pea plant. Of the offspring, 13 were tall and 12 were short, write the ratio o
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Tall offsprings: 13/25

Short offsprings: 12/25

Explanation:

According to this question, a cross between a tall pea plant and a short pea plant gives rise to the following:

13 tall pea offsprings

12 short pea offsprings

This means that a total of (13 + 12) = 25 offsprings were produced by this cross. To get the ratio of each phenotype to the total number of offspring, we say the number of each phenotype (tall or short) / total offspring the produced.

That is;

Tall offsprings: 13/25

Short offsprings: 12/25

In percentage, this can be represented as:

Tall offsprings: 13/25 × 100 = 52%

Short offsprings: 12/25 × 100 = 48%

What is a difference between Newston’s laws of motion and Elinstein’s theory of relativity ?
DENIUS [597]
<span>Sir Isaac Newton quantified the gravity between two objects when he formulated his three laws of motion. ... Yet Newton's laws assume that gravity is an innate force of an object that can act over a distance

</span>

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers. This was the theory of special relativity. It introduced a new framework for all of physics and proposed new concepts of space and time.

Einstein then spent 10 years trying to include acceleration in the theory and published his theory of general relativity in 1915. In it, he determined that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time, which is felt as gravity.

Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)inhibit inflammation by inhibiting an enzyme in the prostaglandin
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Aspirin inhibits the formation of prostaglandins by combining with the COX enzymes. Prostaglandins function as messenger molecules to monitor different physiological procedures in distinct regions of the body. One of the prime activities of prostaglandins is to stimulate inflammation and pain.  

Prostaglandins are also the essential controller of platelet aggregation. By changing the COX enzymes inside the platelets, aspirin makes platelets to lose the stickiness, which is required to instigate clotting of blood.  

There are two forms of cyclooxygenase, that is, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 generates prostaglandins and COX-2 mediates pain and swelling in response to tissue injury. Aspirin prevents both COX-1 and COX-2 functioning, while COX-2 is the therapeutic target of the drug.  

However, it is the association of aspirin with COX-1 in the gastrointestinal tract, which results in the unwanted side effects of the drug. COX-1 is required to sustain a thick lining of the stomach. As aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, thus, the continuous use of the drug can result in the thinning of mucus, which safeguards the stomach from gastric juices.  

In such cases, stomach bleeding, ulcers, and in certain situations perforation of the stomach can take place. Therefore, aspirin exhibits both bad and good effects.
