Lichens are among the slowest-growing organisms, but their tolerance of environmental extremes enables them to colonize habitats

where few other macroscopic organisms can grow. They grow where neither the fungal partner (mycobiont) or the photosynthetic partner (photobiont) could survive alone, because they benefit from their unique symbiotic association. What mutualistic behaviors aid in the survival of both organisms?
A) The photobiont processes and provides nitrogen and carbon products to the mycobiont.
B) The photobionts are protected and able to grow in conditions in which they could not grow alone and in return release glucose in some form to the mycobiont.
C) The photobionts absorb mineral nutrients from the underlying surface or from minute traces of atmospheric contaminants while the mycobionts synthesize organic nutrients from carbon dioxide.
D) The photobionts produce ammonium and organic sodium compounds from N2 gas by sodium fixation; that in turn, aids the mycobionts in producing enzymes to decompose the substrate on which they live.

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

Lichens  is regarded as a mutual relationship between a mycobiont and photobiont, the relationship is targeted at enhancing their survival in extreme environments. The mycobiont is a fungal while the photobiont is usually a green alga or a mycobacterium. Each of the organism has their specific tasks; the mycobiont provides suitable habitat for the photobiont while the photobiont provide energy for the whole system.

Answer:

The photobionts are protected and able to grow in conditions in which they could not grow alone and in return release glucose in some form to the mycobiont

Explanation:

The mycobionts help retain moisture for the algae. The algae undergo photosynthesis to produce-carbon based compounds, such as glucose, which is shared with the fungus.

Reika [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C- "Sublingual space".

Explanation:

If an infection perforate from he mandibular first premolars through the lingual cortex, it is very likely that it continues is way into the sublingual space. The infections located at the sublingual space are often bacterial infections that comes precisely from the floor of the mouth. If an infection goes into the lingual cortex, it will often go to the tissue under the tongue at the sublingual space.

How can an individual with a recessive genetic disorder have parents who are not afflicted?
jonny [76]
Both parents must be carriers, which means they have the heterozygous gene (one uppercase letter & one lower case letter). They will still carry that mutated gene (because they have a lower case letter), and their offspring will have a 25% chance of getting a recessive disorder. The percentage is low but still possible.

In a certain triangle ABC , A equals 30°, B equals 50°, and the side AB equals 3 in. Use a protractor and a straightedge to cons
natali 33 [55]
If you were to compute this, Angle C should be equal to 100°.

In a triangle, all angles sum up to 180°.

In triangle ABC, where the m∠A =30° and m∠50°:

m
∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
30° + 50 + m∠C = 180°
80° + m∠C = 180°
m∠C = 180° - 80°
m∠C = 100°

The triangle should look like the picture attached.

PolarNik [594]
I think this is an example of competitive exclusion principle. Competitive exclusion principle is a proposition that two species competing for the same limiting resource can not coexist at constant population values.For Example the Red squirrel is native to Britain but its population has declined due to competitive exclusion, disease and the disappearance of hazel coppices and mature confer forests i law land Britain.
