Fungi join bacteria as the primary decomposers in different ecosystems. They feed on the organic remains of dead plants. They release special enzymes that break down lignin, a structurally complex substance in wood. Decomposing organic matter is considered by ecologists as the major ecological role of fungi.
<span>The function of the digestive system is to digest and absorb the food that we eat . Which means that we have two main processes , digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules,which are then absorbed in your body (during the process of absorption). </span>
A parasite moving between individuals other than parents and their offspring uses
horizontal transmission.
Horizontal transmission is the transmission of infections between (parasites) that are not in a parent-child relationship (vertical transmission). Horizontal transmission may include the carriers or <span>vectors which are other species. Transmission, in that case, occurs via the bite of the vector (an infected organism), like in malaria.</span>
Cells are limited in size because the outside also known as the plasma membrane must transport food and oxygen to the inside of the cell. This can be represented by what is known as the surface to volume ratio.
