Fungus does not make their own food because they do not contain chlorophyll leaves. Then how mushrooms grow, and what is eaten by fungi which can grow?

As a seed, spore fungus produces millions of very small spots, such as dust which is very small. Sporidium be blown away from the parent plant by wind. If the spore get in the right place, it will grow into new fungi. Part of the mushroom that we see on the ground called "the body of the bear." However, this is only about a tenth of mushroom. All fungi are made of yarn is very small, which is called "hyphae". Some of them are developed together to create a body that bear fruit. More to the running down to the ground or in trees and other surfaces. This thread is taking food from plants or animals that live and die. Fungus from the root of life of fruits, leaves the dead, and also the human body. Skin diseases due to water lice and ringworm caused by fungi. Fungi also make bread and fruit decay.

Calculating AGE Tree

Layer of tree sap from new growth timber in the form of a ring. With the ring-ring on a tree trunk cut off, we can know the tree's age. When we entered the forest, see the fallen tree ring-Count and its annual rings.

We can also find out the weather that has occurred in the past with a view of trees cut. When the width of the ring, it means that in the past often rain. Meanwhile, when the adjacent ring forms, in the past means that the rare rain. However, the tree can grow to the weight in the art, that is when the weather is hot but still moist.

In addition to calculating its annual rings, we can also know the age of the tree with the measure around the tree. Most trees grow with the thickness approximately 2.5 cm per year. So, to be able to know the age of the tree, and measure around the trunk from 1.5 meters below ground. After knowing the tree circumference, and divide kelilingnya of 2.5 cm so that the tree age is known. For example, if the tree is around 125 cm, the age of the tree is 50 years (125 divided by 2.5 equal to 50).

URL address of the first Yahoo! itself is http://arkebono.stanford.edu/yahoo.

In fact Jerry and David is not the only people who want a place to start to find information on the Internet. Not long after, hundreds of people began to access their site. Information that is spread from mouth to mouth about the site made Jerry and David hit this eventually reach 1 million in their first autumn 1994. Only after some not established.

In 1995, Jerry-David duet successfully lobbying Sequoia Capital to invest around 2 million U.S. dollars to Yahoo!.
