Phylum Glomeromycota

Phylum Zygomycota

__________ is used by companies to make bread rise and to produce alcohol.

Yeast

Bacteria

Plant cells

Water Mold

A Protozoan

Animal cells

Fungi

are similar to green plants because fungi produce chlorophyll.

and green plants have cells that are surrounded by a cell wall made of cellulose.

differ from members of the animal kingdom because fungi are autotrophic.

are similar to bacteria because fungi are composed of prokaryotic cells.

are similar to bacteria because fungi use extracellular digestion to obtain their nutrients.

Answer 1

Answer 1.

Puffballs, and shelf fungi, both are Basidiomycota. These produce spores in fungi.

Answer 2.

The statement is true. Flavor of cheese is due to fungi and bacteria. Different fungi and bacteria have different tastes and flavors. The fungi, Penicillium tastes earthy, Galactomyces tastes sweet and buttery. Similarly, the bacterium Serratia gives a cabbage like flavor to cheese.

Answer 3.

The best classification of fungus is on the basis of morphological characteristics; these include size and shape of spores, and fruiting bodies and their color. However, certain taxonomists have classified fungi on the basis of their sexual reproductive structures. Apart from this, biochemical and physiological characteristics is another method of classifying the fungi.

So, the question stands weird and incorrect.

Alternatively, you can say that the answer is ‘true’; because there is a fungal classification on the basis of sexual reproductive structures.

Answer 4.

Such fungi are known as Mycorrhizae.

Note that ‘mykos’ means ‘fungi’ and ‘rhiza’ means ‘root’ (in Greek). This is a type of symbiotic association between root system of higher plants and fungi.
