Close observation of the fruiting bodies of cup fungi (ascomycetes) shows that when asci of cup fungi forcibly eject their spore

s into the air, they tend do so in groups (many asci at once) instead of one at a time. Furthermore, spores released during one of these group events tend to go higher into the air than do spores released from a single ascus. This observation suggests that the simultaneous spore release by multiple asci is likely an adaptation that:a. satiates spore predators, increasing the likelihood that some spores will not be eaten.
b. increases the likelihood that multiple spores will arrive at the same food resource, thus enhancing the likelihood of successful colonization.

c. allows for the formation of new asci by allowing new regions of the fruiting body to undergo karyogamy.

d. enhances the ability of spores to penetrate the layer of stagnant or unmoving air above the fruiting body.

Answer:

a. satiates spore predators, increasing the likelihood that some spores will not be eaten.

This is because spores rely on animals to eat the truffle-like bodies, with the spores then passing out with the animals' faeces.

Answer:

<em>d. enhances the ability of spores to penetrate the layer of stagnant or unmoving air above the fruiting body. </em>

Explanation:

Two things rely on the movement of the spores in the air to the great heights. Velocity is one, and mass would be another. Because if the spores are to grow in the air they need both mass and speed.

Spores produced by single ascus can not accomplish this by themselves. Thereby spores are emitted by asci groups.

Spores obtain the ability to penetrate the layer of stagnant or up-moving air above the fruiting body by being released by community of asci.

Which of the following is an abiotic factor that limits the carrying capacity of animal species?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Should be D. Breathable gases

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of an environment is the maximum population size of a biological species that can be sustained by that specific environment, and abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.

How does fertilizer usage, soil degradation, and deforestation all tie in together?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<u>Fertilizer usage is linked to the agricultural practice</u> with an aim to <u>enhance the crop yield</u>. Inadequae use of fertilizers however causes soil degradation because <u>these practices overlook the spatial differences in soil fertility status </u>in agricultrual systems. Specifically,<u> not all soils require fertilizer application at the same levels</u>. A recommended approach is that, initially, there should be a proper study of limited nutrients in the soil and thereon only those nutrients should be given at controlled concentrations, which are limited. A major reason is that <u>high concentration of specific nutrients would affect the bioavailability of other nutrients</u> in the long run and could also lead to soil degradation (by affecting soil health status). <u>The microbial population in the soil could also change</u> that are typical for essential biogeochemical cycles. This is a very critical aspect in future future agriculture and to preserve the environment. <u>Deforestation</u> is a condition when the plants are cut excessively for agricultural purposes. <u>If soil degradation continues as discussed above, it would put a reduce the overall proportion of agricultrual land and cutting of naturally grown forests would be required. This would turn the green zones into agricultural zones (in future)</u>. This is a pressure on ecosystem and the consequences can be really harsh.
