PLESS NOW I NEED I BEG FOR HELP IM CRYING NOT NOWING WHAT TO DOOO PLES HELPPP I WILL GIVE BRAINYLIST TO ANYONE Compare this fungus with the protist shown in the images below. How do they differ in the way they obtain nutrients? Both organisms are autotrophs. The mushroom uses hyphae to get its nutrients and the amoeba uses the pseudopod instead. Both organisms are consumers. The amoeba engulfs its food while the fungus absorbs food from the dead leaves using its hyphae The amoeba is a producer and obtains nutrients through photosynthesis, the fungus is a consumer and is decomposing leaf litter in the forest.​

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
