Question

the body of a fungus is composed of thread - like ____, which form a structural network called a ____
multiple choice
hyphae, plasmodium
hyphae, mycelium
sporophytes, fruiting body
sporangia, gametophyte

Explanation:

• Hyphae: These are the thread - like structures that make up the body of a fungus.
• Mycelium: A mycelium is a network formed by hyphae.
• Plasmodium: This is a structure found in slime molds (not fungi in the traditional sense we are considering here).
• Sporophytes and fruiting body: Sporophytes are part of the plant life cycle (in plants like mosses, ferns etc., not relevant to the basic body structure of fungi). A fruiting body is a specialized structure for spore production in fungi but not the general network structure.
• Sporangia and gametophyte: Sporangia are spore - producing structures and gametophytes are part of the plant life cycle.

Answer:

hyphae, mycelium
