Answer:

Red tide occurs in patches of water where certain species of dinoflagellates flourish.

Explanation:  

Red tides refer to the noticeable microalgae proliferation that can be recognized for being a big spot in the sea of a characteristic coloration. This phenomenon is caused by two microalgae groups: diatoms and dinoflagellates, both part of phytoplankton.

Red tides occur when certain environmental factors -such as temperature, light, nutrients availability, ph, etcetera- favor the overproduction of these organisms. These species produce toxins that turn to be dangerous for other animal species that feed on them.

Because these microorganisms produce pigments, their accumulation on the sea surface can be noticed as reddish, brown, or greenish color spots of variable extension.

Describe the relationship between fungal structure
stepladder [879]
Fungi are more related to animals than plants because they are not photosynthetic. They can be harmful because they do not respond to traditional antibiotic but they are also commercially beneficial especially in the food industry that uses yeast like baking, brewing and cheese and wine making. The pileus is the term given to the cap-like structure of the fungi. It supports the spore-bearing surface which is the hymenium which consists of lamellae, tube or teeth on the underside of the pileus. Annulus is the ring-like structure found in the stipes of some species of mushroom and is a remnant of the partial veil. Stipe is the stem or stalk of the mushroom that supports the cap of the mushroom. Volva is the caplike structure found at the base of the fungi which is a remnant of the universal veil. Hypha is the long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus that is the main mode of vegetative growth. Each fungus has a vast number of these hyphae which are intertwined to make a tangled web called mycelium. Through mycelium, fungus absorb nutrients from its environment.
