How does integrated multi-trophic agriculture (IMTA) work?

I believe the question is referring to multi-trophic aquculture (not agriculture) as this is more well known.

The term trophic refers to food/nutritution and in biological systems "trophic levels" are usually associated with different stages in a food chain.

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) therefore, defines a form of aquaculture (an artificial human created process) that has multiple stages of the food chain optimised as they might be in nature. What this usually means is that the waste products from one stage feed into another stage as inputs, in the way that foodwebs work in reality. This increases efficiency.

For example, fish and shrimp might be mixed with seaweed and shellfish which each fill a niche in the food web to produce a more stable artificial ecosystem.

Answer:

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a gram negative bacteria that is responsible for tumor formation in the different parts of plant body.

Explanation:

It causes crown-gall disease in plant body by transferring it's DNA into the plant body which include Ti plasmid.

There are 3 types of bacteria that form tumor in different plant ares.

Agrobacterium rhizogenes, Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains contain either Ti or Ri plasmid but Agrobacterium vitis contain only Ti plasmid which are virulent.

The transfer of T-DNA takes place into the body of host cells and then the DNA is expressed into the body of the host and thus forming gall or tumor.

How are endocytosis and exocytosis similar? how are they different?

suter [353]

Endocytosis and exocytosis are similar in that they are both forms of cell transport. They differ because in endocytosis, a cell transports molecules into a cell (think: endo - in), and in exocytosis, the cell's molecules are transported by being expelled.
