Lignin and cellulose provide rigidity to the cell walls of plants. But in most fungi, chitin performs this role. Why is it logic
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Fungi most fungi produce cellulases.

Explanation:

Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms, however unlike other eukaryotes. Their cell wall is made up of chitin instead of cellulose.

Chitin is a fibrous polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell wall of fungi.  where as cellulose is also a polysaccharide which is an important structural component of plant cell wall.

Since fungi are saprophytic they produce enzymes such as cellulases that will help in breakdown of cellulose for food.

They cannot have a cell wall made of cellulose.

The Competitive Exclusion Principle states that: Group of answer choices a. When two species occur together, competition is alwa
Reika [66]

Answer:

b. Two species that use a limited resource in the same way cannot coexist indefinitely

Explanation:

The competitive exclusion principle establishes that two or more species that share the same niche requirements,  in the same habitat, and are in biological competition for the same resources, won´t be able to coexist indefinitely in the same space if the other ecological factors are constant. This is because species with identical niches have the same necessities, which means that they will compete for the same resources. If these species have the same requirements, they can not coexist. When the superior competitor occupies the inferior competitor´s fundamental niche, the first species has advantages over the second species and <em>monopolizes all the resources</em>. From that moment, the inferior species is displaced and must adapt to use other resources changing its behavior, or must migrate to another area where it can get access to its needs or get extinct.

When <em>two competing species coexist</em>, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. One of the species uses a <em>different resource, occupies another area, or uses the resources at different times during the day</em>. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species.

Niche specialization might produce genotypic separation. Subpopulations of a species diverge into new species.    

So, <em>competitive exclusion refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche.    </em>

How does DNA fold into a chromosome. What are the 6 steps
Xelga [282]
<span>The essential unit of DNA packaging is the nucleosome. A nucleosome consists of a small amount of DNA wrapped up with protein. The proteins that interact with DNA to form chromatin comprise a family of basic (positively charged) proteins called histones. There are five different types of histone protein: H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Of these, two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 combine to form a histone octamer. DNA wraps around the octamer, making 1 3/4 turns around the protein complex. The amount of DNA associated with the histone octamer is 146 bp. The octamer plus the DNA comprise what is called the nucleosome core. A small stretch of DNA (60 bp) runs between adjacent nucleosome cores, and is known as the linker. A single nucleosome consists of one core plus a linker. The total amount of DNA involved in a single nucleosome is approximately 206 bp. Chromatin therefore consists of DNA wrapped around one histone octamer after another, like a long string of beads.</span>
