What are micelles? How do they differ from a normal colloidal solution? View Solution Give the experiments to show that plants carry on anaerobic respiration. How does it differ from aerobic respiration ? View Solution Sac fungi differ from imperfect fungi in having ...
Slime mold has characteristics of both fungi and amoebae. Surely, you remember amoebae from your grade-school science class. They are single-celled organisms. What you may not remember is that they reproduce by spores. They are asexual and divide themselves into new cells to reproduce. In ...
, of Pennsylvania State University, “All the powdery mildew fungi are obligate parasites, requiring live tissue to grow and reproduce.” How Does Powdery Mildew Spread? Powdery mildew spores typically drift into your garden with the wind. Still, if you’ve had powdery mildew occur in the past...
If a bacteria or virus does get into the body, the immune system tries to detect and eliminate it before it can make itself at home and reproduce. If the virus or bacteria is able to reproduce and start causing problems, your immune system is in charge of eliminating it. The immune syst...
Bacteria and fungi primarily break down the organic matter in the compost. Single-celled organisms (protozoa), small worms (nematodes) and mites feed on the bacteria and fungi. Predatory nematodes, predatory mites and other invertebrates (sowbugs, millipedes, beetles) feed on the protozoa, mites...
How does fungi affect plants? How do some fungi help plants grow larger and healthier? How do grasses reproduce? Why is the stamen so tall? What does Gravity do when it comes to plant growth? How does fire grow? How can plant hormones be used as weed killers?
Death angel (Amanita verna): pearly white stem with swollen base and white spores Fool’s conecap (Conocybe filaris): small with a smooth brown conical cap, very thin stalk, rusty brown gills Why do mushrooms look so different? Since mushrooms are the product of the different fungi in soil...

Although high humidity is key, soggy root conditions leads to rot and fungi proliferation. Reproductive Activity Staghorns do not produce flowers and seeds, but use spores to reproduce. Summer's warmth stimulates spore production. Because the fern directs energy toward reproduction, summer vegetative...
Using a counting chamber does not necessarily yield an accurate count of the number of live cells because it is not always possible to distinguish between live cells, dead cells, and debris of the same size under the microscope. However, newly developed fluorescence staining techniques make it po...
