What else can I help you with?
Does a fungal cell has a true nucleus?
Fungi are eukariyotic organisms.They have true nucleus.
What makes up the cell walls of fungal cells?
The cell wall of fungi is mostly composed of chitin. True fungi do not have cellulose in their walls. The cell membrane of fungi is composed of lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol) and proteins.
Is it true that some fungi can be eaten?
Yes it is true. Mushrooms for instance are edible fungi.
Why are fungi considered to be eukaryotes?
Fungi are considered eukaryotes because their cells contain a true nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane. They also have membrane-bound organelles and their genetic material is organized into linear chromosomes within the nucleus. These features are characteristic of eukaryotic organisms.
What is the usual mycelial growth patterns in the genus nocardia?
Nocardia species typically exhibit filamentous, branching growth patterns similar to fungal hyphae. They form a branching network of mycelium that can be seen under the microscope. However, unlike true fungi, Nocardia are classified as actinomycetes, which are a group of bacteria that share some characteristics with fungi.
Is true bacteria and fungi are prokaryotes?
No, bacteria are prokaryotes but fungi are eukaryotes. Fungi have a distinct nucleus enclosed within a membrane, while bacteria do not have a nucleus and their genetic material is located in the cytoplasm.
What statements is not true of fungi?
Fungi are plants. Fungi produce their own food through photosynthesis. Fungi are important decomposers in ecosystems. Fungi reproduce through spores.
What about fungi is not true?
True fungi have cells walls composed of chitin, use glycogen as a storage product, and have a sinlge, posterior flagellum (or lack one altogether). In many (but not all) true fungi, hyphal elongation is directed by a Spitzenkorper.
Slime molds are NOT classified as fungi in part because they .?
are not considered to be true fungi because they have unique characteristics such as the presence of both animal-like and plant-like phases in their life cycle, as well as differences in their mode of reproduction and cellular structure.
Are bacteria and fungi thallophytes?
Yes, bacteria and fungi are considered thallophytes because they are simple organisms lacking distinct roots, stems, or leaves. Thallophytes are characterized by having a non-vascular body plan without differentiation into true tissues.
Does fungi have cell walls that contain chitin?
No, it is important to differentiate between plants and fungi. Plant cell walls contain a carbohydrate polymer called cellulose. Fungi cell walls contain a different type of carbohydrate polymer called chitin. Chitin is harder than cellulose.
Is it true that sex is considered a federally protected class?
No, sex is not considered a federally protected class. However, discrimination based on sex is prohibited under federal law, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
