12th Grade Biology 2: Structure and Reproduction of Fungi

What is the primary function of mycelium in fungi?

• To disperse spores

• To anchor the fungus

• To reproduce asexually

• To absorb nutrients

Which of the following is NOT a method of asexual reproduction in fungi?

• Spore production

What is the role of rhizoids in fungi?

• To anchor the fungus and absorb nutrients

• To spread the fungus across the substrate

• To hold sporangia for spore dispersal

• To form the fruiting body

Which group of fungi is known as 'Sac Fungi'?
