Question
Assume you have isolated a multicellular heterotrophic organism that produces coenocytic hyphae, motile zoospores, and cellulose cell walls. It is most likely a(n)Group of answer choicesgreen alga.zygomycete fungus.oomycote alga.ascomycete fungus.tapeworm.
Solution
The organism you have isolated is most likely an oomycote alga. Here's why:
-
Coenocytic Hyphae: This refers to a type of fungal filament that is not divided into individual cells. Instead, it consists of a long continuous cell with many nuclei. Both oomycetes and some types of fungi (like zygomycetes) can have coenocytic hyphae.
-
Motile Zoospores: These are a type of spore (reproductive unit) that can move on its own. Oomycetes produce motile zoospores, while most fungi do not.
