Answer:
What are stinkhorns? Stinkhorns are mushrooms that are found from the tropics to more temperate regions such as Wisconsin. They can suddenly appear in mulch, lawns, and areas with bare soil. These visually-shocking fungi get their common name from their characteristic, unpleasant odor. Although they are often unwanted additions to home gardens, stinkhorns do not cause plant disease. Because stinkhorns can grow on dead organic material, they actually are beneficial in that they contribute to the recycling of plant debris into nutrients that improve soil fertility and can be used by garden plants.
What do stinkhorns look like? Stinkhorns grow into various shapes, but they are bestknown for looking like horns or penises. A few species grow several appendages, resulting in an octopus-like appearance. Some species have a veil attached below the cap that resembles a lacey skirt flowing from the mushroom’s hollow stalk. Stinkhorns can range in color from white, beige, and olive to bright orange or red with black accents. The tips of mature stinkhorns are usually coated in a spore-containing slime. Gardeners often discover immature stinkhorns as they dig in the soil. The immature forms appear as whitish to pink or purple, egg-shaped masses. Stinkhorns develop rapidly sometimes growing up to four to six inches per hour, and can generate enough force to break through asphalt.
Where do stinkhorns come from? Stinkhorns are often first introduced into a garden in organic materials (e.g., soils and mulches) that contain microscopic hyphae (i.e., fungal threads) of stinkhorn fungi. Once stinkhorns mature, they produce a pungent, off-putting odor that is reminiscent of rotting flesh or dung. This smell may disgust people, but it attracts insects, particularly flies. Flies and other insects eat the slimy material at the tips of stinkhorns and carry spores in this slime to new locations as they move around in the environment. In many ways, this process is comparable to the distribution of pollen by bees (but of course without the more appealing scents associated with most flowers).
Answer:
Dessert and tundra
Explanation:
Theses two biomes get very little rain and because of this they have a less diversity of fauna and flora.
The differences are that a tundra is very dry and extremely cold and on the other hand a desert is very arid and hot and it can go as high as 54°C (130°F).
I have searched everywhere, but I have not found the proposals of the question, but I will explain to you what is the endoplasmic reticulum so that you can answer it.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a eukaryotic organelle located in the cytoplasm.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membrane tubules (often interconnected) scattered throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Its membrane, which alone represents more than half of the cellular membrane system, is in contact with the nuclear envelope.
The endoplasmic reticulum can be:
Granular (or rough) (RER) that is to say associated with ribosomes.
Smooth (SER).
The granular endoplasmic reticulum is the place of synthesis (in the associated ribosomes) of the proteins secreted outside the cell and of the proteins and lipids constituting the membranes of the cellular organelles. Golgi, lysosomes, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, vesicles ...). It participates in the correct folding of the proteins that have just been synthesized.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum participates in cellular metabolism, synthesizing lipids and storing calcium.
Answer:
B. Neurons are cells that conduct electrical impulses.
Explanation:
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells protect against pathogens and aid in blood clotting after injury. Blood cells cannot contract.
Neurons generate and conduct electrical impulses. So this one is correct.
Epithelial cells line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs, protect underlying tissue, regulate the exchange of chemicals, and secrete various substances. They do not react to stimuli, however neurons do.
Smooth muscles helps the skeleton move, smooth muscle is found in blood vessels and some organs, and cardiac muscle helps the heart beat and pump blood. They are however, not components of blood.
