Question

Fungal hyphae are able to penetrate the host with the help of
(A) Mechanical pressure
(B) Softening by enzymes
(C) Both A and B
(D) Suckers and hooks

Answer 1

Hint The hyphae penetrate into the plant’s root tissue in response to chemical exudates produced by both plant and fungus. Within the cortical cells of the root, the hyphae form arbuscular projections which absorb nutrients from the plant cells. In return, the fungus transmits minerals absorbed from the soil into the plant, so both species benefit from the interaction.

Complete answer:
Let’s discuss the option and find the correct answer.
- The adhesive pad of growth infiltrates the host with the assistance of mechanical pressure and enzymes. It pushes against the cell mass of the host and afterward delivers cellulose to process cellulose of the host cell divider with the goal that the hypha can infiltrate the host cell divider.
- Host tissue infiltration is probably going to include a blend of hyphal tip pressure and the hydrolytic action of contagious exo-chemicals. Turgor pressure and the emission of divider tensioning and degradative proteins must be facilitated at the site of development to advance tissue infiltration.
Consequently, the right option is choice C.
- Sucker is a solid structure for attractions on a host or substrate. Hooks help the life form in getting to the organs of the host So (d) is an incorrect option..

Note Hyphae are the tube shaped projections of multicellular developments that structure a filamentous association (mycelium). Fungal hyphae release stomach related synthetic compounds to absorb supplements from food sources.
