Hello there for this question.
00:05
They want us to describe the structure of the fungal body.
00:10
Okay, so we'll begin with that.
00:12
So what we can describe about the fungal body is that almost every fungus is a mycelum, which is an interwoven mass of one thick, one cell thick, thread -like filaments called hyphen.
00:36
And the hyphins, they consist of single elongated cells with numerous nuclei.
00:46
Other species, hyphens are subdivided by partitions called sita or septa into many cells, which, i mean, each containing one or more nuclei, and how the pores in the cepa allows cytoplasm to stream between cells disrupting, disturbing nutrients, sorry.
01:30
And like plant cells, the fungal cells are surrounded by cell walls.
01:37
And like animal cells, the fungi survive by breaking down nutrients stored in the bodies or waste of other organisms.
01:50
And how they will do that.
01:52
There are multiple ways that they do that.
01:57
They can do this where some of them digest their bodies of dead organisms.
02:07
And you've got others who are parasitic.
02:10
You have others that have a mutualistic relationship with other organisms that provide them food.
02:19
And you even have some that are predatory...
