1)Describe a red tide and why it is harmful. What effects do the toxic blooms have on sea life? Humans? Has climate change had any effect on the intensity of the blooms? Are there any techniques to predict the red tides?
2)Because fungi produce so many trillions of spores, why is it we are not overrun by them? Although we often think of fungi as organisms that cause disease and rot food, fungi are important to human life on many levels. They influence the well-being of human populations on a large scale because they are part of the nutrient cycle in ecosystems. They also have other ecosystem uses, such as pesticides and cure for diseases. How do fungi help cure diseases and stop damaging plant pests?
