Answer:

Many poisonous mushrooms have bright colors that serve as the warning signal to animals that the mushroom is poisonous and by eating it they can die.  

Mushroom is a fungus and most of its part is consists of underground mycelium. The part of the mushroom which is above the ground is the fruiting body of mushroom and is umbrella-like. It is called cap in which gills underside of the cap. These gills contain spores that are disperse and produce more mushrooms.

Therefore as the cap is fruiting body and contains spore so to protect the spores mushroom need to deter predators.

Answer: To protect the spores that is inside the upper part of the mushroom.

Explanation:

Many poisonous mushrooms appear in bright colors and they serve as the indicator of the poison in it.

This is done in spite the mycelium part of the mushroom is underground because the upper part of the mushroom is responsible for carrying spores.

These spores disperse with wind which is responsible for the growth of new mushrooms so the upper part of the mushroom is equally important as like that of lower one.

So it needs to be colorful so that the predators do not eat them.

Ann [662]
<span>Hippocrates believed that there are four humors in human body which need balance for a healthy being. These were:
Blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.</span>
Galen expanded the idea of the humors and introduced four temperaments which were these:
choleric (hot / dry), melancholic (cold / dry), sanguine (warm / moist), and phlegmatic (cold / moist).
Another expansion Galen did was that he gave each humor/temperament physical and psychological qualities and said that even the food items have an association with the certain humor, those foods can effect certain humor in certain ways.

Strawberry DNA Extraction lab What was the purpose of the Sodium Chloride? Include a discussion of polarity and charged particle
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Sodium chloride removes proteins from DNA and helps in DNA precipitation.

Explanation:

The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is negatively charged due to the highly polar phosphate groups that make up the phosphate backbone. The molecules of water are also highly polar and they have positive charge, thereby water molecules interact with the negative charges of the DNA. The sodium chloride generates temporary attraction forces between sodium (positive) ions and the DNA backbone (negative), thereby DNA can be disassociated from the aqueous layer. Moreover, sodium chloride helps to remove proteins (histones) that bound to DNA and also helps to maintain proteins in the aqueous layer.
