Are Rhizopus hyphae coenocytic or septate?

Rhizpous hyphae are not divided, so are coenocytic.


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.


Fungi which lack septa?

Fungi that lack septa are called aseptate or coenocytic fungi. These fungi have hyphae that are not divided by septa, allowing the cytoplasm to flow freely throughout the organism. This allows for rapid nutrient distribution and growth.


What is the difference between ascomycetes and zygomycetes?

Ascomycetes produce their spores in sac-like structures called asci, while zygomycetes produce their spores in sporangia. Additionally, ascomycetes often have a more complex structure with septate hyphae, while zygomycetes typically have a simpler structure with coenocytic hyphae.


What is different between ascomycetes and phycomycetes?

Ascomycetes have specialized spore-bearing structures called asci, while phycomycetes produce spores in sporangia. Ascomycetes have a sexual reproductive structure called ascocarp, whereas phycomycetes lack a well-defined sexual reproductive structure. Additionally, ascomycetes typically have septate hyphae, while phycomycetes have coenocytic hyphae (lacking septa).

What characteristics determines that fungal hyphae are coenocytic?

Fungal hyphae are considered coenocytic when they lack septa (dividing walls) between the individual cells in the hyphae. This results in the cytoplasm and nuclei freely moving throughout the hyphae without being compartmentalized or separated by cell walls. Coenocytic hyphae are commonly found in fungi like molds and some yeasts.

Which type of cell contains many cells?

Either phloem or palisade cells


What is coencytic hyphae?

Coenocytic hyphae are a type of fungal hyphae that lack septa (cross-walls). This results in a continuous cytoplasmic mass with multiple nuclei in a single hyphal compartment. Coenocytic hyphae are commonly found in fungi like Phycomyces and some molds.


Describe the basic body plan of a fungus and differentiate between septate hypha and coenocytic hypha?

The basic body plan of a fungus consists of a network of thread-like structures called hyphae. Septate hyphae have cross walls (septa) that divide the hyphae into distinct cells, while coenocytic hyphae lack these septa, resulting in a continuous multinucleate cytoplasmic mass. Septate hyphae allow for compartmentalization of the cytoplasm and are found in most fungal species, whereas coenocytic hyphae are characteristic of certain groups like Zygomycetes.


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.
