How do vacuoles help fungal cells maintain homeostasis?

Biology
2 answers:
Crazy boy [7]3 years ago

Answer:

VACUOLES are organelles found in cells of plants or fungi.

They play a role in storage of both nutrients and waste products .

They help maintain homeostasis in the following way:

1. MAINTAINING ACIDITY :

In case the pH in the environment drops a lot (becomes very acidic), there is a flux of H ions from the cell's cytoplasm into the cell's vacuole thereby increasing acidity to required level and thus maintaining the specific pH in the cells internal environment as well.

2. TURGIDITY

Vacuoles regulate the turgidity by regulating the amount of water inside the cell.

If cell has excessive water: vacuole absorbs the water and then diffuses it out of the cell.

If cell lacks water: water from the vacuole gets passed back into the cell thereby maintaining turgidity.

Which situation results from increased biodiversity in an ecosystem
Nastasia [14]

The correct answer is - increased competition.

If an ecosystem experiences an increase in its biodiversity, than the result of it would be increased competition. The increased competition will be for food sources, water sources, territory. The reason why increased competition will occur is that there are only limited mounts of food sources, water sources, and territory in the ecosystem. There's also certain amount of niches in the ecosystem, and once all of them are occupied by some species, any other that is specialized for that niche will be competitor plus. This increased competition will lead to high evolutionary pressure, which will result in relatively quick adaptations and specialization in order to survive.

What is the expected phenotype of F1 progeny from a cross between two homozygous recessive mutants disrupted in different genese
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - wildtype.

Explanation:

Let assume there are four genes which are :

A-B-C-D

In mutant first, the genotype would be:---a-b-C-D

In the mutant second, the genotype would be:--A-B-c-d

If both of these genotypes are crossed with each other, the recessive genes a, b of mutant first is dominated and masked the expression by the dominant genes present in the mutant second.

Similarly, the recessive genes of the mutant second are dominated and masked expression by the dominant genes of mutant first.  This is possible only due to different genes are present in mutants.

Thus, the correct answer is - The correct answer would be - wildtype.
