Question

1. what do mycelium filaments do?
2. how are fungi beneficial to the soil?
3. what are the fruit of mushrooms?
4. how do mushrooms produce new fungi?
5. where are spores located?
6. in bread dough, where does yeast gets energy from?
7. what are the byproducts of yeast in bread dough?
8. what are some common examples of infections called by fungi?
9. some protists are photosynthetic: true or false
10. describe flagellum:
11. describe cilia:
12. describe pseudopods:

Explanation:

1. Mycelium filaments absorb nutrients. They grow through the substrate and secrete enzymes to break - down organic matter for absorption.
2. Fungi are beneficial to soil as they decompose organic matter, improving soil structure and nutrient availability. They also form mycorrhizal associations with plant roots, enhancing plant nutrient uptake.
3. The fruit of mushrooms is the visible, above - ground part that produces and disperses spores.
4. Mushrooms produce new fungi by releasing spores. These spores can germinate and grow into new mycelium under favorable conditions.
5. Spores are located on the gills (in many mushrooms), pores, or other spore - producing structures of fungi.
6. In bread dough, yeast gets energy from the sugars present in the flour, such as glucose and fructose, through fermentation.
7. The byproducts of yeast in bread dough are carbon dioxide (which causes the dough to rise) and ethanol (which evaporates during baking).
8. Common examples of fungal infections include athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections (such as candidiasis).
9. Some protists are photosynthetic. For example, algae are protists that can perform photosynthesis.
10. A flagellum is a long, whip - like structure that some cells (such as certain protists and bacteria) use for locomotion. It moves in a whip - like motion to propel the cell through its environment.
11. Cilia are short, hair - like structures that cover the surface of some cells. They can move in coordinated waves, allowing for locomotion or the movement of substances along the cell surface.
12. Pseudopods are temporary, finger - like extensions of a cell's cytoplasm. They are used by some cells (such as amoebas) for movement and to engulf food particles.

Answer:

1. Absorb nutrients.
2. Decompose organic matter and form mycorrhizal associations.
3. The visible, spore - producing part.
4. By releasing spores.
5. On spore - producing structures like gills or pores.
6. From sugars in the flour.
7. Carbon dioxide and ethanol.
8. Athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis.
9. TRUE
10. Long, whip - like structure for locomotion.
11. Short, hair - like structures for movement or substance transport.
12. Temporary, finger - like cytoplasm extensions for movement and feeding.
