Summary Introduction
Introduction: Microscopic, branched filaments known as hyphae form a distinctive body of fungi known as mycelium. Fungi are eukaryotic in nature. Fungi have both, disease-causing as well as disease curing species. Mushrooms are one of the most common examples of fungi. Fungi can either be microscopic or macroscopic. The study of fungi is known as mycology.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?
a. yeasts are unicellular fungi
b. molds and mushrooms are filamentous fungi. The filaments are chains of cells called "hyphae"
C. most protozoa are unicellular, animal-like members of Domain Archaea, many of which are motile
and lack cell walls
d. algae have historically been described as "plant-like" protists because they contain chloroplasts
and cell walls
e. organisms which make chlorophyll a can perform oxygenic photosynthesis
f. all organisms which make chlorophyll a have chloroplasts
g. Nostoc, algae and plants all make chlorophyll a and all have chloroplasts
h. Nostoc, algae and plants have mitochondria which evolved from primitive endosymbiotic bacteria
i. Photoautotrophs perform photosynthesis and chemoheterotrophs require pre-formed organic
molecules as a source of carbon and energy
j. Cyanobacteria, algae and plants are photoautotrophs. Fungi, protozoa and animals are
chemoheterotrophs
