Answer:
a mushroom is a heterotroph
the main difference between fungi and plants: Fungi=heterotroph, plants=autotroph
Explanation:
Answer:
Option (A).
Explanation:
Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the process of movement of the particles from the region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration with the help of specific integral transmembrane protein.
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive diffusion and solute particle down the concentration gradient. So this process doesn't require an ATP or any other energy source.
Thus, the mismatched pair is option (A).
Viruses can only reproduce by infecting living cells
Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have increased resistance to malaria because the parasite does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.
<h3>What is the link between G6P deficiency and malaria?</h3>
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive disorder.
- G6PD protects cells from oxidative damage especially the RBCs whose main function is to carry oxygen.
- Mutation in the gene results in G6PD deficiency leading to oxidative stress which can lead to anemia (iron deficiency) as there is breakdown of RBCs.
- However, G6PD deficiency is quite common in parts of Africa, Middle East, and South Asia, which are the regions of high malaria endemism.
- This is due to natural selection in which G6PD deficiency is not eliminated from the population as it can protect people from malaria infection.
- Malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium</em> species does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.
