Answer: Feeding behaviors, trophic levels, cell wall composition, and their organelles distinguish fungi from plants.
Explanation:
While plants and fungi are both eukaryotes, they differ in terms of feeding behaviors, trophic levels, cell wall composition, and their organelles.
- Cell walls: both are non-chain polysaccharides (sugars) that function as structural support; yet fungal cell walls are composed of chitin while plant cell walls are made up of cellulose
- Feeding: fungi secrete compounds that digest their food sources before they can take in nutrients and they store food as <em>glycogen; </em>while plants do not require a means of pre-digesting food and store their food as <em>starch.</em>
- Organelles: plant cells contain <em>chloroplasts</em>, small green structures with chlorophyll that causes their characteristic coloration. Unlike plants, fungi do not photosynthesize to make their own food or contain chloroplasts.
- Trophic level: are strictly <em>heterotrophs or decomposers, </em>depending on other organisms for survival. Their chloroplasts enable them to carry out photosynthesis, thus they are <em>autotrophs or producers. </em>
B as it's not government regulations, technology or funding
They compete for food, water and space
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
Enzymes functions in a specific temperature range.
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- Enzymes are biochemical catalysts whose function is to speed up the rate at which chemical reactions occur.
- Enzymes work best at a specific range of temperatures known as optimum temperature.
- Low temperatures below optimum levels deactivate the enzyme and thus lowering the rate of enzyme activity.
- Extreme temperatures, on the other hand, denatures the enzyme altering enzyme's active sites making it difficult for substrates to fit.
