Aclub fungus has an erect, above-ground fruiting body and long, branching, underground hyphae.

how do the structures of the fruiting body and hyphae relate to their functions?

a. the fruiting body is curved to improve absorption of water, while the hyphae are long to allow for reproduction.

b. the fruiting body is curved to the uptake of decaying plant material, while the hyphae are long to increase gas exchange.

c. the fruiting body is tall to maximize photosynthesis, while the hyphae are branched to support the release of waste products.

d. the fruiting body is tall to allow for spore dispersal, while the hyphae are branched to increase the absorption of nutrients.

Residential construction is expanding in florida, the expansion has caused fragmentation of habitats, one of the results of the increased construction is a decrease in the number of large predators such as the coyote, black bear and pool panther, which will be the most immediate local result of this fragmentation? 1)large predators will become extinct 2)decrease in middle sized predators 3)increase in population of top carnivores 4)increase in population of prey species

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
