Mushrooms have DNA and cells that make them what they are. They also show growth and development over a period of observation. They are organized on the sub-cellular level and reproduce given the right environment. Mushrooms adapt, use energy to grow, and respond to stimulus. Sliding Mineral objects (non-living) -…
Describe the importance of fungi to the forest ecosystem. Decomposition: Without microbes, organic matter on the forest floor and in the soil would never decompose. The rate at which these microorganisms decompose dead material is directly responsible for the availability of nutrients for plants. As the humidity and temperatures in rainforests are high, conditions are ideal for rapid microbial decomposition. However, the rates of decomposition will differ according to which microorganisms are present, the character of the organic matter, the physical and chemical environment of the soil and so forth.…
Clostridium Botulinum Clostridium Botulinum is a single celled bacteria and has organelles, not bounded by a membrane. They are asexual and reproduce by binary fission. It belongs to Kingdom Bacteria because it has peptidoglycan in its cell wall. It is unicellular and lack nucleus. It is obligate anaerobe as well as have ability to produce by spore so it falls under Phylum Firmicutes.…
In return the fungi get a fixed carbon supply from the host…
Biology Chapter 4 Extra Credit Essays 1. An electron microscope would be better than a light microscope because an electron microscope allows you to view objects much smaller than you can with a light microscope. It might be better to use a light microscope if you are viewing a live specimen and do not want to kill it. 2. Prokaryotic cells are small, simple, no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, single loop of DNA (nucleosome), no cellulose, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall (made of carbs), sometimes have cilia or flagella (movement).…
Section Two Assignment 1. Timeline of the evolution of cells. • 4.6 Billion years ago: The formation of Earth is believed to have transpired around 4.6 billion years ago. • 3.5 Billion years ago: Ancient fossils from around this time period provided evidence of a bacteria-like organisms known as Prokaryotes. This ancient cell was first founded in the 1970’s in among fossilized rocks from Australia and contain no nucleus.…
Cell and colony morphology have been very useful taxonomic features in the differentiation and classification of microorganisms (2). Microscopic examination allows microorganisms to be viewed under magnification, to allow cell morphology to be determined. The most common cell shapes are…
So why are these fungi important to us today? Looking at the California drought heading to the third consecutive year, many farmers from California is facing problems due to lack of water. A recent report from the federal department of Agriculture states that 20 percent decline in California crops and a 35 percent decline in cotton this year. This is not only concerning for the farmers, but as well consumers as there has been a 3 percent increase in fruit cost, and 2 percent increase in vegetables. Greater demands on water with booming population and decline of water use for farmers caused by environmental laws has created even more problems, and increased research on how we can create crops with less water use.…
According to scientists the conventional wisdom of viruses says that about viruses, scientists say that viruses aren’t bigger than bacteria and that the majority have viruses have 10 or less genes. But organisms such as the meme virus, mega virus and the Pandora virus prove us wrong. In some cases, some of these controversies to the change of biological evolution is in heredity by accident, natural in nature or caused by mutation. Before 2003 there only two kinds of living things on earth which were cellular life and viruses; the cells were considered humans and any other living organisms that could grow. (3:06) then viruses were organisms made out of genetic material and they would go to different cells and would use the cell to generate more…
INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is the breaking down of organic molecules by means of catabolic pathways that uses electron transport chain to produce ATP (Campbell 2011). ATP is used as energy in the synthesis of light or also known as Photosynthesis . ATP is used by photosynthetic organisms to produce their own food and also by performing cellular respiration. It needs mainly glucose and oxygen that involves the transfer of electrons in a chemical reaction.…
Units of the Archaea can be described as inhabitants of drastically hostile surrondings. The Eubacteria, are pervasive living agreeably in most enviornments. Every breath carries some bacterial spores, and almost every surface holds them. When it comes to the intestines, some are helpful, giving nutrients, vitamins and absorbing water in return for space. Some prokaryotes are our enemies, causing diseases and…
It has also been suggested that there was a co-evolution between plants and microbes as their morphology and metabolism is intrinsically linked (G. Berg et al 2015). Humans of course benefit from the plants-fungal interactions, as plants are essential for oxygen production and their growth and development is benefited by microbes. The extent of those interactions and their benefits, and…
Introduction: LAB REPORT- Comparing and Discovering the Properties of Animal and Plant Cells INTRODUCTION: Scientists have developed classification units among livings. One of this classification types is kingdoms. It represents widely covered societies, including Animalia and Plantae. It is known that all livings are composed of cells, from the cell theory, so animals and plants also have a cell association.…
