Answer:
The calcium concentration must be greater OUTSIDE
the cell than INSIDE the cell.
Explanation:
Calcium has a vital role in the body, it is necessary for:
- exocytosis
- muscle contraction
- normal excitability of neurons
- blood coagulation
- building and maintaining bones and teeth
- enzymatic activity
Answer:
It would harm the few plants that benefit from mutualistic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi
Explanation:
Mycorrhizal relationship is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of higher plants. While the plant provides the fungi with food, the fungi supply the plant with nutrients and water extracted from the soil.
<em>Hence, if a wide-spectrum fungicide is used in a forest and it kills all the fungi in the forest, it will affect all the plants that share beneficial relationship with fungi in the forest.</em>

Answer:
Mutations leading to the better attachement of virus to the host cell would allow the virus to spread the infection and leave more progeny. The reproductive fitness of mutant viruses would allow the mutation to spread.
Explanation:
1. The organisms with same resource requirement compete with each other. Viruses are not living things but once inside the host cell, they behave like living things. Rapid multiplication of virus overpopulate the host cells.
2. Genetic variations are added to the viral progeny by random errors during replication of the viral genome. These random variations may impart beneficial trait, harmful feature or remain neutral. If a random mutation in the SARS-CoV2 virus allows it to adhere better to the cells of the respiratory system, the virus would be better able to infect these cells to spread the infection. Once inside the host cells, the mutant virus would leave more progeny. On the other hand, the wild type virus that lack this mutation would have lesser chances of entering the host cells and may or may not replicate.
3. The progeny of the mutant virus would compete better with the non mutant ones due to the presence of same mutation.
4. Differential reproduction and more progeny of the mutant virus would spread the mutation among the virus.
