- Many fungal infections of humans are considered to be opportunistic, meaning that fungi that are normally free-living (usually in soil) can sometimes survive, and even thrive, on or inside the human body. From the fungal “point of view,” what unique challenges would be encountered when trying to survive on human skin? What about inside human lungs?arrow_forwardIn the following diagram of a black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer), identify the following structures of a multicellular fungus: mycelium, rhizoids, stolon, sporangium, sporangiophore, sporangiospores. Note: Sample fungus herein is not found in aquatic environment. Rhizopus stolonifer is a common agent of decomposition of stored foods; they are terrestrial in habitat.arrow_forwardDescribe two ways in which fungal spores arise.

- Which of the following descriptions does not apply to a multicellular fungus? the mushroom is a transient structure that produces spores and dies back the mycelium represents the dominant life stage spores can be produced as a part of sexual or asexual reproduction the fruiting body is composed of only diploid cells different individuals can have different mating typesarrow_forwardDescribe two ways in which fungal spores arise. Candida albicansarrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about fungal spores? Question 13 options: They are haploid. They aid in fungal reproduction and spread and are cover in a protective layer. They will be carried by air or water until they reach a suitable environmental for fungal growth. All of the abovearrow_forward
