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.
Answer:
Invasive species compete for the same natural resources such as food and water which the native species also need for survival.
Explanation:
Invasive species upset the stability of the ecosystem because the prey in their new environment does not have the needed defense against them. They also upset the food chain, consume so much, and overpopulate in the new territory thus causing the extinction of the native species.
The introduction of brown tree snakes in Guam disrupted the ecological system as their population increased rapidly because their preys in this new environment lacked the ability to defend themselves against the brown tree snakes. For this reason, more than twelve native birds in the Guam Islands went into extinction. They also consumed the natural resources needed for the survival of the native species.
<span>A) bacteria. Membrane-bound organelles are found in eukaryotic cells. However, bacteria are prokaryotic, meaning that they do not have membrane bound organelles.</span>
Prokaryotic bacteria are surrounded by a cell membrane that contains the transport proteins to regulate the entry and exit of materials through the cell, the cell wall to help maintain cell shape and structure, and the capsule, which aids against drying out and protects bacteria from a host's immune system.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Bacteria are the prokaryotic organisms that are found in every part of Earth. These organisms do have an interesting ultrastructure. The coverings of the bacteria are three in layer. They are
A. The outer capsule.
B. The middle cell wall.
C. The inner cell membrane.
The capsule is the outermost covering of bacteria that is formed of different slimy materials. These materials contains hygroscopic substances which can absorb water from the surroundings even when the water concentration in outside is very very low. This layer of protection outside bacteria help them to protect themselves against drying out at dry conditions.
The middle cell wall is formed of polymers of N acetyl glucosamine and N acetyl muramic acid. This layer is chitin in nature and is strong enough to maintain the shape and size of bacteria irrespective of outer conditions.
The innermost layer of bacteria is cell membrane which is formed of proteins and lipids bilayer and this cell membrane contains different transport for proteins which help in transport of different substances like water and nutrients inside the cell by means of active transport or passive diffusion.
