A mushroom gains its energy by decomposing the tissues of dead organisms. Should mushrooms be classified as autotrophs, heterotr

ophs, in both groups, or in neither group, and for what reason?
They are heterotrophs because their food is made by other organisms.

They are autotrophs because decomposition is very similar to photosynthesis.

They are both autotrophs and heterotrophs, because they may grow in sunlight or darkness.

They are autotrophs because they do not eat their food, as animals do.

Answer:

They are heterotrophs because their food is made by other organisms.

Explanation:

Unless the organism can create their food independently via photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, they must get their food from elswehere.

In the case of mushrooms, they are scavengers/decomposers, meaning they consume energy from once living organisms, thus classifying them as heterotrophs.

Have a nice day!

Sign and symptoms of a disease depend on point of entry of a pathogen. Justify organ specific and tissue specific manifestation
Leokris [45]

Hi

It is true that the point of entry of a pathogen inside a body hold importance for the spread of pathogen. However, <em>organ and tissue specific manifestation is the real impact of a pathogen in any organism's body. Firstly we need to understand what is meant by Organ and tissue specific manifestation:</em>

It means that the specific organ or specific tissue is when affected by the entry of microbes or pathogens in the body, For example: The bacteria that cause tuberculosis enters the body through nose but manifests its action in lungs when multiplies there and affects the lungs' functionality and ultimately, depict the symptoms such as shortness and difficulty of breathing, this is basically organ specific manifestation.

Moreover, thee are some microbes that enter the body and damage certain tissues, for example HIV virus enters the body through sexual organs and travels to different tissues like nerve tissues, lymphatic system and damage them in a way that body's own immune system when counter reacts the microbes, it causes inflammation in the body and damage to overall tissues, This is called Tissue specific manifestation.

Hope it helps!
