Question

1. identify how do sac fungi usually reproduce?
2. list name three ways humans use sac fungi.

sac fungi
sac fungi are the largest group of fungi. members of this group include yeasts, mildew, truffles, and morels. usually they can reproduce both asexually and sexually. when they do reproduce sexually, they form a sac called an ascus. sexual spores develop inside the ascus.
most sac fungi are multicellular. however, yeasts are single - celled sac fungi. when yeasts reproduce asexually, they use a process called budding. in budding, a new cell pinches off from an existing cell.
yeasts are the only fungi that reproduce by budding.
yeasts use sugar as food and produce carbon dioxide and alcohol as waste. because of this, humans use yeasts to make products such as alcohol and bread. bread dough rises because of trapped bubbles of waste carbon dioxide from the yeast.
some sac fungi are used to make vitamins and antibiotics. others cause plant diseases. one of these diseases, dutch elm disease, has killed millions of elm trees.
humans can use some sac fungi, such as morels and truffles, as food.

Explanation:

For question 6, sac fungi can reproduce both asexually (through budding in single - celled yeasts) and sexually (by developing sexual spores inside an ascus). For question 7, humans use sac fungi to make products like bread (using yeast to produce carbon - dioxide for dough rising), to produce alcohol, and some sac fungi like morels and truffles are eaten as food.

Answer:

1. Sac fungi can reproduce asexually (e.g., budding in yeasts) and sexually (development of sexual spores in an ascus).
2. To make bread, to produce alcohol, as food (morels and truffles).
