Explanation / Answer

Various species of fungi can be used to do all of the following except:
The answer is make agar as a medium in petri dishes, because agar is extracted from the red alage.

If the mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells resulted from endosymbiosis, what features might we expect these organelles to contain?
The answer is a plasma membrane, DNA, and ribosomes

One of the most significant beneficial roles of protists in the biosphere is their action as:
The answer is producers because the alage is included in the protists. The alage is the main producer the earth which occupaies almost 98% of the total photosynthesis.


Which of the following is true of archaeans?
The answer is They are very common and are found in all environments.
The archaeans is common microbes which account almost 20% of the total microbial fauna...

Which of the following is true of mycorrhizae?
The answer is They make phosphate available to plants and increase surface area for water absorption
