What is the ecological importance of fungi and how are they different from plants? All fungi, plants, and animals spend most of their life cycle as diploids. (a) True (b) False. Historically Fungi have been classified as being more like plants despite being unable to photosythesize. Altho...
The flower is the basic reproductive structure of a plant; thus, all plants produce flowers. a. True b. False All protists are autotrophs. a. True. b. False. True or false? Most fungi are multicellular, although some are unicellular. ...
Plants were grown for 5 weeks prior to the addition of 0, 50, 200, or 600 mM NaCl.aPlants 1 week after treatment.bLength of individual plants 1 week after treatment.c, Plants 6 weeks after treatment.dLength of individual plants 6 weeks after treatment.eShoot cross-sections.fShoot c...
or immunity. We found that exposure of Arabidopsis thaliana to a known plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium can unexpectedly have either beneficial or deleterious effects to plants. The beneficial-to-deleterious transition is dependent on availability of phosphate to the plants and is mediated by ...
A cell wall is a rigid structure that provides support and protection to the cell. It is found in plant cells but not in animal cells. On the other hand, chloroplasts are organelles that carry out photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Chloroplasts are also...
composition of the belowground microbiome is therefore important for maintaining ecosystem stability. The structure of the belowground microbiome is largely determined by individual plants, but it is not clear how far their influence extends and, conversely, what the influence of other plants growing ...
Unicellular eukaryotes were observed to exhibit a gradual increase in Pol II velocity close to the initiation point of transcription. A proto-paused-like state evolved into a prolonged, focused pause in metazoans, and this transition coincided with the evolution of supplementary subunits within the ...
These ancient primary plastids, estimated to have originated >1.8 billion years ago1, are found in Rhodophyta (red algae), Chloroplastida (green algae, including land plants), and Glaucophyta (glaucophytes)—together forming the eukaryotic supergroup Archaeplastida2. Unravelling the sequence of ...
True or false? Most fungi are multicellular, although some are unicellular. A microbiologist is in the process of classifying a newly discovered organism. Its characteristics include: Eukaryotic, multi-cellular, reproduces by spores, motile in some stag...
The organisms can be unicellular or multi-cellular. The cell type can be eukaryotic or prokaryotic. The eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles and the genetic material lies within the nucleus. The prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles, and the genetic material lies ...
