Using high-speed video, researchers have measured several variables associated with sporangium discharge in various spore-shooting fungi. Based on the data in the table shown here, how do the launch speed and acceleration of Pilobolus compare with those of the other fungi? How does launch speed for each species compare with the top speed of 44 km/h reached by Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt during his 2009 world-record-setting 100-m race?

Hello, everyone. Here we have a question saying fungi evolved a variety of score discharge processes to make their reproduction successful. One of these strategies includes squirt guns which are most common in the Asco Mako and Zygo Miko. What makes the spores of these fungi groups discharge at high speeds? The tar pressure is responsible for powering the single spores or port filled spang towards the target location. An example of this is grasses that are eaten by cows. This enables the spor to be moved to other places and reproduce successfully. So our answer here is D Tager Pressure. Thank you for watching. Bye.
