What is antibiotics produced by?
Antibiotics are chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and are used to treat bacterial infections. They are produced in nature by soil bacteria and fungi.
What might be the value of these chemicals to the fungi?
The chemicals produced by fungi often serve as key metabolic byproducts that aid in their survival and growth. They can function as antimicrobial agents, helping fungi to fend off competing microorganisms for resources. Additionally, these chemicals may play a role in nutrient acquisition by breaking down complex organic materials, enhancing the fungi's ability to absorb essential nutrients. Overall, these compounds contribute to the ecological role of fungi in their environments.
What do fungi give off after they digest food that they absorb?
carbon and nitrogen
Does fungi produce chemicals that digest plant remains?
yes! fungi produce chemicals that digest plant remains.
Can fungi carry out intracellular digestion?
YES
How is digestion in fungi different from digestion in human beings?
Most fungi digest their food by extracellular digestion, or at least some hydrolysis occur beforehand. Meaning the food is broken down in compartments that are continuous with the outside of the fungi's body. Example of such an compartment: Gastrovascular cavity.
Chemical produced by bacteria that limits the growth of other bacteria?
You want to talk about antibiotics. By definition it is the substance produced by microorganisms to inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. Most of such chemicals are produced by fungi. Only few like bacitracin are produced by bacteria.
Which of the folllowing spores are sexually produced?
Zygospores, ascospores, and basidiospores are sexually produced spores. Zygospores are produced by fungi in the Zygomycota phylum, ascospores by fungi in the Ascomycota phylum, and basidiospores by fungi in the Basidiomycota phylum.
Is ascospore an endospore?
No, ascospores are sexual spores produced by fungi during sexual reproduction in specialized sac-like structures called asci. Endospores, on the other hand, are produced by certain bacteria as a means of survival under unfavorable conditions. They are formed within the bacterial cell and are resistant to heat, chemicals, and other harsh conditions.
Which organism does not carry out extracellular digestion?
A cat is an example of an organism that doesn't carry out extracellular digestion. Parasites and fungi are examples of organisms that use extracellular digestion.
What kind of fungi break down chemicals in dead organisms?
There are no specific types of fungi that break down chemicals in dead organisms. Different fungi breakdown different chemicals; whus, all kinds are invovled in the breakdown of dead organisms. If you meant "what are the fungi that break down chemicals in dead organisms called", then they are called saprobes.
How does bacteria and fungi digest food through extracellular digestion?
trying to be cool
