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.

Connect the importance between meiosis and the process of sexual reproduction. Is it possible to survive without your reproducti
Aleksandr [31]
It must be known that there is an interdependent relationship between meiosis and sexual reproduction. During sexual reproduction, meiosis generates a genetic variation in the offspring because it randomly shuffles genes across chromosomes and then randomly segregates half of those chromosomes into each gametes. These two gametes or sex cells then fuse randomly to form a new organism. One of the key factors in evolutionary fitness and biological diversity is genetic variation. This can be made possible through reproductive cells undergoing meiosis since such process has specialized sex cells split and multiple after copulation.

To answer the question if is it possible for a human to survive without a reproductive system, the answer is yes.

Reproductive organs of both men and women are vital to create a child. But it must be noted that both can live without them. There are situations that sometimes necessitates the removal of such organs especially if he or she is inflicted with cancer or other diseases.
