Read the following excerpt and answer the question: Scientists often refer to mushrooms as the "dark matter of biology" because we don't know much about them. Mushrooms are not plants
because they have no chlorophyll and cannot make their own food. They are actually fungi and absorb nutrients from their surrounding
environments, and they can even thrive at the bottom of the ocean or in the middle of a desert!
Use your own words to summarize why mushrooms and plants differ in their needs to use radiant energy from the sun.

Explanation:

Plants rely directly on the energy from the sun. The chloroplast create glucose from the sun rays through a process known as photosynthesis. Mushrooms, on the other hand, do not have the ability to use the sun's rays to create food, so they instead gather their energy from the nutrients from the soil or decaying things, such as plants, that once used the sun's radiation as sustenance. So basically mushrooms use the radiant energy from the sun indirectly and plants use it directly

a gas, having a molecular weight of 13 kg/kmol and a kinematic viscosity of 0.25 cm2/s, flows through a pipe 0.25 m internal diameter and 5 km long at the rate of 0.4 m3/s and is delivered at atmospheric pressure.
