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: -The hypha (pI. hyphae; Fig. 1a, b) is the basic structural unit of most fungi. It is a filamentous, branched, apically growing series of cellular compartments with more or less rigid walls, usually consisting of chitin and glucans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi: More on Morphology Like plants and animals, fungi are eukaryotic multicellular organisms. Unlike these other groups, however, fungi are composed of filaments called hyphae; their cells are long and thread-like and connected end-to-end, as you can see in the picture below.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Most multicellular fungal bodies, commonly called molds, are made up of filaments called hyphae. Hyphae can form a tangled network called a mycelium and form the thallus (body) of fleshy fungi.
