Question

yeasts are _____ fungi, and molds are _____ fungi.
multiple choice
○ macroscopic; microscopic
○ unicellular; filamentous
○ water; terrestrial
○ motile; nonmotile

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall fungal structure: Yeasts are single - celled (unicellular) fungi. Molds are made of thread - like structures called hyphae, forming a filamentous (mycelial) structure. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: Yeasts and molds can be microscopic, so "macroscopic; microscopic" is wrong.
• Option 2: Yeasts are unicellular, molds are filamentous (composed of hyphae). This matches.
• Option 3: Yeasts and molds don't fit "water; terrestrial" classification.
• Option 4: Fungi like yeasts and molds are generally non - motile, so "motile; nonmotile" is wrong.

Answer:

B. unicellular; filamentous (assuming the second option is labeled B, as per the standard multiple - choice labeling where the second option here is the correct one. If the options were labeled differently, adjust the label but the text remains "unicellular; filamentous")
