c)Write any two uses of Fungi.
PLZ help me i will mark u
Answers
Answer:
a-- 1) photosynthesis is carried out in plants.
2) in photosynthesis sunlight ,water, minerals are required.
1) respiration is carried out in humans and animals
2) respiration involves respiratory parts like lungs , nostrils ,food pipe.
b--the functions of pseudopodia are
1) it involves locomotion and ingestion
2) it captured or engulf the food in it
c-- fungi is useful for pest control.
fungi is also used as for preparing the food
Answer:part (A)
Photosynthesis:
1: photosynthesis is an anabolic process, where the synthesis of organic compounds occurs, storing energy .
2: carbon dioxide and water yields glucose and oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.Carbon dioxide, water, and light energy are the reactants of this process.
Respiration:
1: cellular respiration is a catabolic process, where the stored organic compounds are utilized, producing energy.
2: In the process of respiration, oxygen and glucose yield water and carbon dioxide.Glucose and oxygen are the reactants of this process.
part(B)
functions of pseudopodia:
The functions of pseudopodia include:
(1) locomotion
(2) capture of prey or engulfing of food.
For example: amoeba can crawl by extending the cytoplasm and the contraction of the filaments. On the other hand, it is also used in capturing and ingestion of prey. They are also used for ingesting particulate matter while providing mobility during food hunting. It is also necessary for sensing prey nearby which helps organisms like the amoeba to engulf matter through the process of phagocytosis. In this process, the needle projections surround the food particle to create a membrane-enclosed sac that pinches off to create a food vacuole before the food is completely digested.
part(C)
USES OF FUNGI:
- fungi are used in fermenting a wide variety of foods, including soy sauce, tempeh, and cheeses.
- They are a major source of citric acid (vitamin C).
- They produce antibiotics such as penicillin, which has saved countless lives.
- They can be genetically engineered to produce insulin and other human hormones.
- They are model research organisms.
