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.

Photosynthesis produces oxygen and water. Photosynthesis is the result of a cycle. Humans use oxygen for respiration, the product produced from human respiration is carbon dioxide. Then plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into oxygen with photosynthesis, this goes on and on as a cycle.

Between two organisms in
Ainat [17]

Answer:

This question is not well placed. It should be " a relationship between two organisms in which both benefit is called".

The answer is SYMBIOSIS

Explanation:

Living organisms tend to interact with one another in their natural environment. This interaction are of different types depending on the effect on the involved organisms. One of those interactions is SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis is a relationship between two organisms in which both of the organisms benefit from one another.

An example is the relationship between the "CATTLE AND EGRET". The cattle provides food for the egret when they feed on the insect parasites on their body while the egret helps the cow get rid of detrimental parasites.

Explain how you determined the genotype of Maria and Juanita, even though you did not text their D a
elixir [45]

The answer is a pedigree chart.

<span>Pedigree charts are used to explain the occurrence of particular genes from one generation to the next. It gives enough information about family disease history. They are used in families to find out the probability of inheriting some disease. So, if Maria and Juanita are cousins and the genotypes of other members of their family are known, the pedigree chart could predict their genotypes. Still, it is not as precisely as DNA test.</span>
