Question

Ascomycetes are:
A. Club Fungi
B. Algal Fungi
C. Pin modules
D. Sac Fungi

Answer 1

Hint: Ascomycetes are a type of fungi. They are also called cup fungi because they are shaped like a cup with an opening on the top. Their spores are light and airy, so they can be carried by wind or water currents.

Complete step by step answer:
Ascomycota is a kingdom Fungi division that, along with Basidiomycota, forms the subkingdom Dikarya. Its members are frequently referred to as sac fungus. With approximately 64,000 species, they are the biggest phylum of Fungi. The "ascus," a tiny sexual structure in which nonmotile spores termed ascospores are generated, is the characteristic trait of this fungus group. However, certain Ascomycota species are asexual, which means they lack a sexual cycle and so do not produce asci or ascospores.
The sac fungi use their sac-shaped structure to create habitats for themselves and to reproduce. This shape helps the fungus absorb water from its surroundings using capillary forces when it is dry.
Option D is the correct answer.

Note: Sac fungi are a type of fungi that grow in a sac shape. They are found mainly in the moist and shady areas of the world and they can be identified by their sac-like growths. These sacs are made up of two cells that look like chains growing from one another. One cell is called the "pin cell" and it is found in a chain with an upright stalk called "stipe." The other cell, or "sac" cell, has a sack filled with spores at its base.
