Answer:

Though it is unlikely and most people will never have to experience these troubles it is possible and even more likely as the body ages with the mineral buildup in the gallbladder

Answer:

Hyphae: Cell filaments,mostly septate

Mycelium: Mass of hyphae

Molds: mostly filamentous, Yeasts: non-filamentous,unicellular fungi

Budding yeasts divide asymmetrically.

Dimorphic fungi: yeast-like at 37°C, mold-like at 25°C.

Fungal spores are reproductive spores (unlike bacterial spores). Used to differentiate fungi.

Growth in acidic, low-moisture, high osmotic pressure environments.

The thallus (body) of a mold or fleshy fungus consists of long filaments of cells joined together; these filaments are called hyphae. Hyphae can grow to immense proportions. The hyphae of a single fungus in Oregon extend across 3.5 miles.

In most molds, the hyphae contain cross-walls called septa (singular: septum), which divide them into distinct, uninucleate (one-nucleus) cell-like units. These hyphae are called septate hyphae. In a few classes of fungi, the hyphae contain no septa and appear as long, continuous cells with many nuclei. These are called coenocytic hyphae. Even in fungi with septate hyphae, there are usually openings in the septa that make the cytoplasm of adjacent "cells" continuous; these fungi are actually coenocytic organisms, too.

Mycelium a mass of long filaments of cells that bring and intertwine, typically found in molds.

Match the prokaryotic cell structures to the characteristic of life.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1. Nucleoid: Prokaryotes do not have well defined nucleus. Instead, naked DNA or genetic material is found in the these cells which keeps floating freely in the region of cytoplasm called as mucleoid (nucleus-like). DNA carries the genetic information required for growth, development, metabolic activities and reproduction.

Hence, it must match with b. reproduction: DNA ensures that future generations will be similar to parents

2. Cell wall: Cell wall is the outermost layer surrounding the plasma membrane. It is composed of polysaccharides and is found in bacteria, fungi, and plant cells. In bacteria, it is generally composed of peptidoglycans. Antibiotic such as penicillin acts on the cell wall and creates pores in it which kills the bacteria.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with d. homeostasis: taking an antibiotic, such as penicillin, creates holes in the cell wall of some bacteria, so they lose water and die

3. Flagellum: It is a thread or hair like structure which serves the purpose of locomotion in the cells specially in bacteria, protozoa, spermatozoa etc. In bacteria, it helps in moving in the direction of food and moving away from inhospitable environment.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with e. responding to stimuli: move away from a less hospitable environment or towards a more hospitable environment.

4. Pilus: It is a hair like but rigid structure that protrude from the cell surface of the bacteria. It helps in the process of conjugation by forming a conncetion between cell surface of two bacteria.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with a. reproduction: exchanging genetic material in process of conjugation

5. Ribosomes: Ribosomes serve as the site of protein synthesis in the cell. Bacterial ribosomes are composed of two sub-units with sedimentary constant of 50S and 30S.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with c. maintaining homeostasis: protein is needed for enzymes and repairing structures

6. Cytoplasm: It is gel like material found within the cell (excluding nucleus in case of eukaryotes). All the metabolic activities of the cell generally take place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Hence, it can be correctly matched with f. homeostasis: using energy, all chemical reactions are performed in the cytoplasm

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

(a.) rabbit eating grass.

Explanation:

Heterotrophs obtain energy by eating plants and animals. Plants are autotrophs, absorbing the sun's energy through photosynthesis and making glucose.
