Fungi are, 1.chemoheterotrophs 2. photoautotrophs 3. prokaryotes 4. eukaryotes 5. ingestive nutrition 6. absorptive nutrition 7. many live as saprobes, using dead organisms as a source of carbon and energy 8. some live as parasites 9. some live as mutualists with other organisms O 1, 2,3 4 O 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 5,6,7,8, O 2,4, 6, 8arrow_forwardThe police had two individuals that they were considering as suspects responsible for a crime. They asked the forensic team to look for other evidence that might link one of the suspects to the crime scene. Luckily the forensics team was able to isolate fungal spores from the shoes of each suspect for further analysis. What technique could the researchers use to microscopically observe and compare the vegetative and reproductive structures from fungi found on the shoes? Only name the technique.arrow_forwardScientific name (genus only): Scientific name: Type: protist helminth fungus Type: protist helminth fungus d flukearrow_forward
- "Most fungi are multicellular, but yeasts are single celled and reproduce by budding." O True O Falsearrow_forward"Like plants, fungi can make their own food using photosynthesis." Please explain in detail why this is false and a misconception.arrow_forwardWhy do you think that the fungal sexual reproduction occurs under extreme conditions only? Why not at all times since sexual replication would benefit the gene pool better? what do you think? Original and simple answer please thank you :)arrow_forward
- You have been asked to consult for a biotech company that is seeking to understand why some fungi can live in very extreme environments, such as the high temperatures inside naturally occurring hot springs. The company has isolated two different fungal species, F. cattoriae and W. gravinius, both of which can grow at temperatures exceeding 95°C. The company has determined the following things about these fungal species (see attached image) By sequencing and examining their genomes, the biotech company hopes to understand why these species can live in extreme environments. However, the company only has the resources to sequence one genome, and would like your input as to which species should be sequenced and whether you believe a shotgun strategy will work in this case.arrow_forwardPlease someone help me to answer this question as simple as possible thank youarrow_forward12) Identify the most correct choice: a) All fungi reproduce by binary fission. Ob) Fungi are prokaryotes. c) Fungi obtain nourishment via photosynthesis. d) Fungi are eukaryotesarrow_forward
