Question
The wall dividing individual cells in a fungal filament is called a
a. thallus
b. hypha
c. mycelium
d. septum
Step-by-Step Solution
VerifiedThe correct answer is (d) septum
The wall dividing individual cells in a fungal filament is called a septum .
The filaments in fungi are called hyphae. Each hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall. A mass of hyphae make up the body of a fungus, which is called a mycelium (plural, mycelia). The hyphae of most fungi are divided into cells by internal walls called septa (singular, septum).
d. septum
Septa cell wall division between hyphae.
Hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall. In most fungi, hyphae are divided into cells by internal walls called "septa" (singular septum).
a. thallus
Thallus is the vegetative body of a fungus. Hence it is not correct option.
b. hypha
Hypha :- fungal filament composed of one or more cells. Hence it is not correct option.
c. mycelium
Mycelium is the mass of fungal hyphae. Hence it is not correct option.
