NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The filaments are called hyphae (singular, hypha). Each hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall. A mass of hyphae make up the body of a fungus, which is called a mycelium (plural, mycelia). The hyphae of most fungi are divided into cells by internal walls called septa (singular, septum).

Detailed explanation-2: -A hypha is a single, tubular filament of a fungal thallus or mycelium; the basic structural unit of a fungus ( plural hyphae, adjective hyphal).

Detailed explanation-3: -Structure. A hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall. In most fungi, hyphae are divided into cells by internal cross-walls called “septa” (singular septum). Septa are usually perforated by pores large enough for ribosomes, mitochondria, and sometimes nuclei to flow between cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi have well-defined characteristics that set them apart from other organisms. Most multicellular fungal bodies are made up of filaments called hyphae. Hyphae can form a network called a mycelium, which is the thallus (body) of the fungus (Figure 4.2.
