How does hyphae work?
Hyphae are thread-like structures that make up the body of fungi. They grow through a process called apical growth, where new cells are added at the tips, allowing the hyphae to elongate and explore their environment for nutrients. Hyphae secrete enzymes to break down organic matter, which they then absorb to provide energy for growth and reproduction.
Does a bacterium have hyphae?
No, hyphae are a characteristic of fungi
A mycelium helps a fungus absorb nutrients from its environment because it provides?
A mycelium helps a fungus absorb nutrients from its environment because it has a large surface area that allows for efficient absorption of nutrients. The hyphae of the mycelium secrete enzymes that break down organic matter into simpler compounds that can be absorbed by the fungus. The mycelium also acts as a network that can expand to search for and access nutrients in the environment.
How do the two types of hyphae in the ascocarp differ?
Hyphae are divided into cells by internal cross-walls in most fungai. These are called septate hyphae. The cells that are not divided are called aseptate.
What is mycelium made of?
Hyphae are made of membranes and cytoplasm.

Members of this kingdom have multicellular filaments that grow into food break it down then absorb it?
Fungi have multicellular filaments called hyphae that grow into food sources such as organic matter. These hyphae secrete enzymes to break down the food into smaller molecules, which are then absorbed for nutrition.
Is there a hyphae in a mushroom?
yes, Hyphae is in the roots

What are the two hyphae called that are involed in sexual reproduction?
The two hyphae involved in sexual reproduction in fungi are known as the (+) or male hyphae and the (-) or female hyphae. These hyphae contain opposite mating types and are involved in the fusion process to form a zygote.
Why must fungi digest their food before it can pass through the cell wall into the hyphae?
Fungi must digest their food outside the cell because they secrete enzymes to break down complex molecules into simpler ones that can be absorbed. The nutrients are then absorbed through the cell wall into the hyphae for further transport and utilization by the fungal organism.
All fungi except yeasts have bodies composed of slender filaments called?
Hyphae, slender filaments, is what most fungi are composed of.
How does bread mold grow inside the plastic in detail?
Spores are introduced during the bagging process and each time the bag is opened. Once conditions are right, they will germinate. The hyphae will penetrate the bread using either mechanical means or enzymes. Either way, the hyphae will secrete enzymes that will breakdown the molecules in the bread and absorb the byproducts. The byproducts will be turned into energy that will fuel further fungal growth. At a certain point, the fungus will send hyphae bak to the surface. These will give rise to sporangiophores or conidiophores, which will produce the asexual spores.
Are Rhizopus hyphae coenocytic or septate?
Rhizpous hyphae are not divided, so are coenocytic.
What are hyphae that grow over food?
Hyphae called stolons grow in a network over the surface of the food. The stolons give rise to another type of hyphae that grow upward from the surface of the food, that are reproductive hyphae, called sporangiophores.
