Type 10 sentences about bacteria and fungus
Answers
Explanation:
Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that are found almost everywhere. There are bacteria on your desk, your skin, inside you, and even on this computer screen. Most bacteria are not pathogens. This means that for the most part, they don't cause disease.However, when a bacterium that causes a disease finds its way inside your body, you can get sick. Sometimes you get sick directly because of the bacteria, and sometimes it’s because of a bacterial toxin. Common infections that are caused by bacteria include pink eye and strep throat.
Mushrooms aren’t the only kind of fungus, though. They actually make up an entire kingdom of life and, while most are not harmful to humans, a few of them are pathogens.
For example, the fungus Epidermophyton floccosum is often responsible for the condition athlete’s foot. This fungus is much smaller than the mushrooms we are familiar with. You usually need a microscope to see it.
Fungi survive by getting energy from other organisms. Often, they do this by feeding on the decaying remains of plants. Similarly, many fungal pathogens feed on the nonliving outer layers of our skin. It’s this feeding that leads to the itching and peeling associated with athlete’s foot or ringworm.
Answer:
Mushrooms and other fungi release an incredible amount of spores into the atmosphere every year, and contributing up to 50 million tonnes of particulates.
Fungi are more closely related to animals than they are to plants as they both belong to the Opisthokonta taxonomic supergroup.
In contrast to plants, fungi do not have chlorophyll, lack leaves and roots, and never form flowers, fruits, or seeds.
Fungi engage in all manner of close biological associations with other organisms, also called symbiosis. They include relationships that benefit either the contributor (mutualism) or in which one participant benefits at the expense of the other (parasitism).
Fungi are the most important cause of plant disease. Sometimes, the fungus feeds on living tissues without killing the plant. Other fungi begin by killing plant cells and feed on their dead contents. And still others employ both strategies back to back.
Most fungi are omnivores and are very effective at breaking down animal proteins. They are also capable of infecting the tissues of animals with weakened immune systems.
Human interactions with fungi can be harmful in many ways including poisonings, exposure to ‘mycotoxins’ produced by fungi that cause food spoilage, and allergies stimulated by inhalation of airborne spores.
There are more than 70,000 species of fungi described by mycologists.
Over 90% of the described fungi are classified either as basidiomycetes, which produce mushrooms or smuts that cause plant disease, or as ascomycetes, which includes yeast or truffles.
Some of the oldest biotechnological uses of fungi include the cultivation of edible mushrooms, and brewing and baking with yeast. In modern times, fungi are used to produce antibiotics, cyclosporine, and other medicines.
