Answer:

Many poisonous mushrooms have bright colors that serve as the warning signal to animals that the mushroom is poisonous and by eating it they can die.  

Mushroom is a fungus and most of its part is consists of underground mycelium. The part of the mushroom which is above the ground is the fruiting body of mushroom and is umbrella-like. It is called cap in which gills underside of the cap. These gills contain spores that are disperse and produce more mushrooms.

Therefore as the cap is fruiting body and contains spore so to protect the spores mushroom need to deter predators.

Answer: To protect the spores that is inside the upper part of the mushroom.

Explanation:

Many poisonous mushrooms appear in bright colors and they serve as the indicator of the poison in it.

This is done in spite the mycelium part of the mushroom is underground because the upper part of the mushroom is responsible for carrying spores.

These spores disperse with wind which is responsible for the growth of new mushrooms so the upper part of the mushroom is equally important as like that of lower one.

So it needs to be colorful so that the predators do not eat them.

When a potassium ion (K) moves from the soil into the vacuole of a cell on the surface of a root, it must pass through several c
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C) primary cell wall --> plasma membrane --> cytoplasm --> tonoplast

Explanation:

When a potassium ion moves from the ground into a vacuole of a plant cell, it must pass through the different structures that are part of it.

First, the outermost layer of the cell is the cell wall. Plant cells may have a primary and a secondary wall, but the latter is not always present. The primary wall is always located outwards (and in the case of having a secondary wall, it will be located between the primary wall and the plasma membrane).

Then, inside the cell wall, we will find the plasma membrane (also called plasmalemma).

When crossing the membrane, the ion will be in the cytoplasm of the cell and will be directed towards the vacuole, which is surrounded by its membrane called tonoplast. The vacuole is an organelle that has no definite shape, although it is always surrounded by the tonoplast, and it contains different substances such as water and enzymes.
