Background theory of fungi?

Biology

Alisiya [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Levels of total arsenic and arsenic species were determined in fungi collected from Yellowknife, NWT, Canada, an area that has been affected by past mining activities and elevated arsenic levels. Lichens (belonging to Cladonia and Cladina genera), as well as the mushrooms Coprinus comatus, Paxillus involutus, Psathyrella candolleana and Leccinum scabrum, were studied for the first time. Most of the fungi contained elevated arsenic levels with respect to data found in the literature for background levels. Minor amounts of arsenobetaine were found in all lichen samples. The major water‐soluble arsenic species in the fungi were inorganic arsenic for lichens and Psathyrella candolleana, arsenobetaine for Lycoperdon pyriforme and Coprinus comatus, and dimethylarsenate for Paxillus involutus and Leccinum scabrum. A large proportion of water‐soluble arsenic in Paxillus involutus occurred as an unknown compound, which did not co‐chromatograph with any of the available standard arsenic compounds. Low proportions of water‐soluble arsenic species (made evident by low extraction efficiencies) were observed in the majority of fungi studied. Arsenic that is not extracted may be bound to lipids, cell components or proteins, or might exist on the surface of the fungus as minerals. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Suppose you performed this test and got agglutination with o antigen and sterile saline. eliminating contamination of the antige
Verdich [7]
Here the sensitivity is very low that is the reason why the condition happened. The error resulted are not highly specific. The reason for binding is because the unnecessary binding occurred.
Agglutination between saline and O antigen shows that there is a contamination which is acting as an agglutination.
The contamination can present as an antiserum or as an antigen or may be in chemical or physical agents and they are termed as the responsible factors for agglutination.

What important event took place in land plant evolution in the Miocene Epoch that influenced the evolution of the ungulate mamma
NeX [460]

Answer: During the Miocene age, the earth experienced a globally warm temperature and due to this, the plant varieties undergone evolution, supporting the advancement of grassland ecosystem and forests also started expanding, leading to a re-diversification of that existing ecosystem in terms of temperature.

Due to this evolutionary changes in plants, the animals like horse experienced changes in the morphological features. It is because of these, the evolution of this organisms took place.

Help me with this ASAP!!<br><br> Does biomass contribute to global climate change?
Vesna [10]

Biomass may contribute to global climate change because certain trophic levels produce greenhouse gases.

<h3>What are greenhouse gases?</h3>

Greenhouse gases are specific types of gases that can maintain heat (solar radiation) on Earth's surface and thus increase Earth's temperature.

The ruminant animals produce methane, which is an important greenhouse gas associated with the global climate.

In consequence, the sudden increase in animal husbandry due to human activities may also increase the effects of climate change.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

osmosis

Explanation:

Movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.
