What characteristics determines that fungal hyphae are coenocytic?
If no crosswalls are present.
Are hyphae cross walls?
Hyphae that lack a cross wall are called CoenocyticWhereas those that contain a cross wall are called Septate
What is coencytic hyphae?
Fungal mycelium in which hyphae lack septa (a wall, dividing a hypha into smaller ones) are known as "aseptate" or "coenocytic". So basically its hyphae without a cross wall.
Do the cells of hyphae often contain more than one nucleus?
Yes, some do. Filamentous fungi (PHYCOMYCETES) may contain multiple nuclei in a coenocytic mycelium.
What are fungi cell walls called?
Sometimes the hyphae are divided into Compartments by cross walls called septa . Fungi with cross walls are called septate fungi, while fungi without cross walls are called coenocytic fungi.
Are Rhizopus hyphae coenocytic or septate?
Rhizpous hyphae are not divided, so are coenocytic.
What characteristics determines that fungal hyphae are coenocytic?
If no crosswalls are present.
Are hyphae cross walls?
Hyphae that lack a cross wall are called CoenocyticWhereas those that contain a cross wall are called Septate
Differences between septate and coenocytic hyphae?
a septate hyphea has many divisions whereas the coenocytic hyphea also known as aseptate is free from any division

How do fungi hyphae differ?
Yeasts are unicellular and don't form hyphae. If the environment is harsh they may form pseudohyphae. Molds usually form aseptate hyphae. Sometimes mold's sporangium can have a septa, which separates it form the rest of mycellium.
What does coenocytic mean?
coenocytic means a disease
What are fungi cell walls called?
Sometimes the hyphae are divided into Compartments by cross walls called septa . Fungi with cross walls are called septate fungi, while fungi without cross walls are called coenocytic fungi.
Does a bacterium have hyphae?
No, hyphae are a characteristic of fungi
A fungal mycelium is?
Coenocytic and saprophytic or parasitic
Multicellular fungi are composed of thin filaments what is this called?
hyphae.
