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.

Alecsey [184]
The phospholipid bilayer has two hydrophilic surfaces: the extracellular and the intracellular surfaces. These two layers sandwiches a major layer of lipids or fat. Because of this nature of the lipid bilayer, water-soluble or <em>hydrophilic</em>  hormones cannot enter the cell membrane. They have to rely on the mechanisms of receptors.

One can find transmembrane proteins embedded across the whole length of the lipid bilayer. One of the functions of these proteins is to serve as the link for hormones such as the ones given above. When the water-soluble hormones attach to one of these receptors, the receptor will be activated and send down a signal to the intracellular environment; these signals will then travel down towards their target site and eventually activate whatever it is the hormone was made for. One example of these transmembrane proteins are <em>G-coupled proteins; </em>examples of signals that cascade down the cell are cylic AMP and cyclic GMP.

What percentage of het land on the earth is usable for living on but not for agriculture farming?
rodikova [14]

4.3 Agricultural land. At present some 11 percent (1.5 billion ha) of the globe's land surface (13.4 billion ha) is used in crop production (arable land and land under permanent crops). This area represents slightly over a third (36 percent) of the land estimated to be to some degree suitable for crop production.
