What else can I help you with?
What is the compare and contrast of coenocytic and septate fungi?
A seperate hyphea has many divisions where as the coenocytic hyphea also known as aseperate is free from any division
Is bread mold able to penetrate the bread by means of zygospores?
Yes,but is another type of spores.
What is the slender thread like structure composing a fungus called?
The slender thread-like structure composing a fungus is called a hypha. Hyphae make up the mycelium, which is the vegetative part of the fungus that absorbs nutrients.
Differences between septate and coenocytic hyphae?
Septate hyphae have cross-walls (septa) dividing the hyphae into individual cells with pores for transferring nutrients and organelles between cells. Coenocytic hyphae lack septa and are multinucleate, forming a continuous cytoplasmic mass throughout the hypha. Septate hyphae are generally found in fungi of the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla, while coenocytic hyphae are commonly seen in fungi of the Zygomycota phylum.
What are threadlike structure found in fungi that grow into the food source?
Mycelium is the threadlike structure found in fungi that grows into the food source. It consists of a network of tiny, branching threads called hyphae that help the fungi absorb nutrients from their environment.
What is the difference between septate and coenocytic hyphae?
The main difference between septate and coenicytic fungi is that they posses divisions or septa on their hyphae. Are invaginations of the same material that composes the cell wall, usually chitin, these septa have small pores in them that allow the inter exchange of materials like ribosomes and even nuclei between cells, when the hypha is damaged septum pores are closed, localizing damage, saving the rest of the hypha from further damage. While hypae on coenicytic fungi don have any septa, so the whole hypha is a single cell, when damaged the hypha will try to recover, but if the damage is large enough the hypha will die. This is a clear advantage of septate over non-septate fungi. Most Phylums on the Kingdom Mycota are septate. Fungus-like organisms posses coenicytic hyphae.
Why do you think mold grows on wet surfaces?
Moulds grow on organic materials because mould is a fungi, which feeds off the chemicals in the food.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mold grows on organic foods because the food has not been processed. In the proccessing center, they add many cemicals to keep the food fresher, longer. On organic materials, the food does not last as long (which is why not many food companys choose not to proccess they're food) because the bactiria grow to fast, turning to mold. Then the mold grows faster on the bactiria.so, basicly it is because the organic food has more (healthy) bactiria.AnswerMoulds are saprophytes and are specialised to eat dead organic material. The mould spores are airborne and ubiquitous (everywhere). When the mould spore lands somewhere moist it will germinate and if the growing conditions are favourable (i.e. there is a good food source) they will grow and produce a network of hyphea and fruiting bodies which you can see with the naked eye. They can only grow on organic substances as they require a source of carbohydrate because they cannot photosynthesis and are not chemoautotrophs (i.e. they can't make their own energy source). In summary, they grow on organic material because it is their food source.
What is a deciduous forest symbiotic relationship?
The most notable of forest symbiotic relationships is of that between trees and mycorrhizae. Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations that form between the roots of most plant species and fungi. This symbiotic relationship is characterized by the equitable movement of sugars to the fungus and inorganic nutrients fixed by the fungi move into the plant, thereby providing a critical linkage between the plant root and soil. The fungal hyphae take up nutrients from soil solution and transport them to the root. By this mechanism, mycorrhizae increase the effective absorptive surface area of the plant. In nutrient-poor or moisture-deficient soils, nutrients taken up by extramatrical hyphae (hyphea existing within soil matrix) can lead to improved plant growth and reproduction.
