Read this description of the life cycle of a mushroom. 1. A mushroom begins to grow underground as a single-celled "spore.” 2. The spore grows into multicellular structures called "hyphae.” 3. The hyphae absorb nutrition and detect when conditions are right to sprout a mushroom above ground. 4. The sprouted mushroom then forms new spores that can enter the ground and begin the life cycle again. Which sentence about this life cycle shows that mushrooms need energy and respond to stimuli? A mushroom begins to grow underground as a single-celled “spore.” The spore grows into multicellular structures called “hyphae.” The hyphae absorb nutrition and detect when conditions are right to sprout a mushroom above ground. The sprouted mushroom then forms new spores that can enter the ground and begin the life cycle again.

The correct answer is C. The hyphae absorb nutrition and detect when conditions are right to sprout a mushroom above ground.

Explanation:

Two key features of living organisms are energy processing and response to stimuli. These two features imply organisms require nutrients, which can be taken from the environment or created through a process such as photosynthesis and they sense their surroundings and respond to it.

Moreover, these two features are exemplified by mushroom (fungi) in the sentence "The hyphae absorb nutrition and detect when conditions are right to sprout a mushroom above ground" because the first section shows the developing mushroom takes nutrients from the soil or its environment and this is essential for growing and survival. Also, the second section of the sentence shows the developing mushroom can sense its environment and respond by developing only in appropriate conditions.

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.  

i think the answer is b.

not 100% sure though.
