If a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and its host plant is said to be commensal, what does this mean?
Group of answer choices
the fungi benefit, but the plant is unaffected
the fungi are harmed and the plant benefits
the plant is harmed and the fungi benefits
both plant and fungi benefit
A student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work.
A-You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.
B- You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.”
C-“You have all of the information correct.”
D- All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.

What human-caused environmental problem may prove catastrophic for these fungi? How may this problem affect their plant partners? What measures could we take to decrease the problem?arrow_forwardFind the flaws fungi are multicellular organism not sure similarities with both plants and animals. The vegetative body of a fungus is called a mushroom.The hyphae are a tangle of slender thread like structures that makes up the vegetative stage of the fungus. A group of hyphae is called mycelium. Some fungi can damage plants and infect animals. Beneficial fungi like mycorrhizal fungi and lichen, form helpful relationships with the other organisms. plants can be broken into four main groups. Bryophytes like vascular tissue and do not make seeds fruits or flowers. Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue but do not make seeds fruits or flowers. Angiosperms have a vascular tissue make naked seeds but do not make fruits or flowers. Gymnosperms have vascular tissue seeds fruits and flowers. animals are eukaryotic, multicellular, autotrophic organisms and just start food and usually develop into motile creatures with a fixed body plan. sponges are an early stage of animal…arrow_forward

Which species from your #1 answer, have a usual faithful to a specific kind of interaction? 3. How did the researchers confirmed that the algae are alive, active, and engage heavily in photosynthesis? 4. Where does your #3 question and answer proves along with the research? 5. Though this interaction, alcobiosis bear a striking resemblance to lichens, how did this new interactions differs? 6. What animal aided the spread of alcobiosis? 7. How does your answer in #6 aids the new symbiosis?arrow_forwardLichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful?
