A filament that makes up the body of most fungi and water molds is called hypha, the plural form being hyphae. They are embedded in the material where fungi and molds grow .

What are 3 types of decomposing molds?

Molds are considered to be microbes and do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but can be found in the divisions Zygomycota and Ascomycota. There are Fungi known as molds.

What the difference between water mold and fungi?

Water molds are a type of fungus-like organism that thrive in water environments, while fungi are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that can be found in various habitats. Water molds are typically decomposers or parasites, while fungi can be decomposers, parasites, or symbionts. Additionally, water molds belong to the group Oomycota, while fungi belong to the kingdom Fungi.


Are slime molds and water molds fungi?

No, fungi are separated from them based on their plate-like cristae in the mitochondria, the possession of a single, posterior, whiplash flagellum (in some forms), synthesis of lysine by the AAA pathway, the use of glycogen as a storage compound, and the presence of the Spitzenkorper in actively growing hyphae. Water molds (assuming you are referring to the oomycetes) have heterokont flagella--one whiplash and one tinsel--tubular cristae in the mitochondria, and the DAA pathway for lysine synthesis. Slime molds engulf their food, which fungi do not. They also have 1-4 anteriorly directed flagella.


What protists act like fungi?

Some protists, like slime molds and water molds, can act similar to fungi in terms of their mode of nutrition and reproduction. They grow as multicellular structures and obtain nutrients through absorption. They may also release spores to reproduce.


What are examples of protists?

fungi like molds, such as slime mold, or possibly water mold.


What phylum is water molds in?

Water molds belong to the phylum Oomycota. They are not true fungi, but are classified within a separate group of organisms due to differences in their cell walls and molecular characteristics.


Why is the filamentous morphology of the water molds considered a case of convergent evolution with the hyphae of fungi?

The filamentous morphology of water molds is considered a case of convergent evolution with the hyphae of fungi because they both have evolved similar structures independently to increase their surface area for nutrient absorption and growth. Despite the similarities in appearance, water molds and fungi are not closely related but have evolved analogous structures through natural selection to better adapt to their respective environments.
