Smut are plant disease caused by
several species of fungi that affects plants such as, corn, wheat, and sorghum.
Smut is characterized by fungal spores which are infectious and can affect
different parts of the plant at the same time. The fungi attacks grain crops by
forming thick, fleshy, gall on the ear, tassel, stalk and leaves of the plant. Smut
are destructive to grain crops, with negative economic effects to the farmer.
We have 20 different amino acids in our bodies.
Answer:
C) It involves interactions between biotic and
abiotic factors.
Explanation:
Ecosystems need energy imput, need both consumers and producers, and can exist on land, lakes, rivers and oceans.
When neurons are not producing electrical signals we say that they are at resting phase: voltage across their membrane is called the resting membrane potential, or the resting potential.
This potential is determined by the concentration of ions (Na, K) across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. While the ions move through channels down their gradients they lead to a separation of charge and that is what creates the resting potential.
The membrane of the neuron is much more permeable for K ions so the resting potential is close to the equilibrium potential of K+.
