Answer:
What are stinkhorns? Stinkhorns are mushrooms that are found from the tropics to more temperate regions such as Wisconsin. They can suddenly appear in mulch, lawns, and areas with bare soil. These visually-shocking fungi get their common name from their characteristic, unpleasant odor. Although they are often unwanted additions to home gardens, stinkhorns do not cause plant disease. Because stinkhorns can grow on dead organic material, they actually are beneficial in that they contribute to the recycling of plant debris into nutrients that improve soil fertility and can be used by garden plants.
What do stinkhorns look like? Stinkhorns grow into various shapes, but they are bestknown for looking like horns or penises. A few species grow several appendages, resulting in an octopus-like appearance. Some species have a veil attached below the cap that resembles a lacey skirt flowing from the mushroom’s hollow stalk. Stinkhorns can range in color from white, beige, and olive to bright orange or red with black accents. The tips of mature stinkhorns are usually coated in a spore-containing slime. Gardeners often discover immature stinkhorns as they dig in the soil. The immature forms appear as whitish to pink or purple, egg-shaped masses. Stinkhorns develop rapidly sometimes growing up to four to six inches per hour, and can generate enough force to break through asphalt.
Where do stinkhorns come from? Stinkhorns are often first introduced into a garden in organic materials (e.g., soils and mulches) that contain microscopic hyphae (i.e., fungal threads) of stinkhorn fungi. Once stinkhorns mature, they produce a pungent, off-putting odor that is reminiscent of rotting flesh or dung. This smell may disgust people, but it attracts insects, particularly flies. Flies and other insects eat the slimy material at the tips of stinkhorns and carry spores in this slime to new locations as they move around in the environment. In many ways, this process is comparable to the distribution of pollen by bees (but of course without the more appealing scents associated with most flowers).
Photosynthesis gives the plant food/nutrients to be able to survive. They make their own food
Answer: The correct answer would be 112.5 pounds
Explanation:
Let us first covert the pound into grams. We know that 1 pound is equal to 453.59 grams.
Thus, 50 pound of fat = 50 x 453.59 = 22,679.5 grams.
We know that, 1 gram of fat releases 9 Kcal of energy. Thus, total energy produced by 22679.5 grams = 9 x 22679.5 = 204,115.5 Kcal
Glycogen is carbohydrate thus, it will produce 4 Kcal of energy per gram.
Thus, 4 x C = 204,115.5 (where C is the grams of glycogen)
⇒ C = 
⇒ C = 51,028.875 grams
Using 1 pound = 453.59 grams, we con convert 51,028.875 grams into pounds:
453.59 = 1
1 = 
51,028.875 = 
= 112.5 pounds
Thus, 112.5 pound of glycogen would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as produced by 50 pounds of fat.
Answer:
The differences arise because it actually takes the Earth around 365.25 days to make a full orbit. This value is rounded down for the sake of our timekeeping.

Answer:A=V
Explanation:
It is used to move small or non polar molecules does not apply to facilitated diffusion. Small, non-polar molecules can diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer.
