    Explanation
    Lichens are not parasites, but rather a symbiotic relationship between an alga and a fungus. The alga provides food through photosynthesis, while the fungus provides structure and protection. This mutualistic relationship allows lichens to survive in various environments, including on rocks, trees, and soil. Lichens are not limited to living in water only; they can be found in terrestrial and even extreme environments such as deserts and Arctic regions.

    Which is NOT true about fungi?

    • A.

      All are consumers

    • B.

      All are multicellular

    Correct Answer
    B. All are multicellular
    Explanation
    Fungi are a diverse group of organisms that can be both multicellular and unicellular. While it is true that many fungi are multicellular, there are also fungi that exist as single-celled organisms, such as yeast. Therefore, the statement "all fungi are multicellular" is not true.

    Black bread mold is an example of a:

    • A.

      Threadlike fungus

    • B.

      Sac fungus

    Correct Answer
    A. Threadlike fungus
    Explanation
    Black bread mold is an example of a threadlike fungus because it belongs to the group of fungi called Zygomycota, which are characterized by their filamentous hyphae. These hyphae form a network of thread-like structures that spread through the bread, aiding in the decomposition process. Sac fungi, on the other hand, belong to the group Ascomycota and have a different structure and mode of reproduction.

    Yeast is an example of a:

    • A.

      Threadlike fungus

    • B.

      Sac fungus

    Correct Answer
    B. Sac fungus
    Explanation
    Yeast is classified as a sac fungus. Sac fungi, also known as Ascomycota, are characterized by their reproductive structures called asci, which contain spores. Yeast belongs to the genus Saccharomyces and is a unicellular organism that reproduces asexually through budding. It is commonly used in baking and brewing due to its ability to ferment sugars. Sac fungi include a wide range of organisms, such as molds, truffles, and morels, and they play important roles in various ecological processes.

    The largest group of fungi are the:

    • A.

      Threadlike

    • B.

      Sac

    Correct Answer
    B. Sac
    Explanation
    The largest group of fungi are the sac fungi. Sac fungi, also known as Ascomycota, are characterized by their reproductive structures called asci, which contain sac-like structures called ascospores. They are a diverse group of fungi that include many important species such as yeasts, molds, and truffles. Sac fungi play crucial roles in various ecosystems as decomposers, plant pathogens, and symbiotic partners with other organisms. They are also economically important as sources of food, medicine, and industrial products.

    Yeast reproduce:

    • A.

      By conjugation

    • B.

      By budding

    • C.

      By fission

    Correct Answer
    B. By budding
    Explanation
    Yeast reproduce by budding, which is a form of asexual reproduction. During budding, a small bud or outgrowth forms on the parent yeast cell and eventually grows into a new yeast cell. This process allows yeast to rapidly increase their population size and is a common method of reproduction for single-celled organisms like yeast. Conjugation involves the exchange of genetic material between two cells, while fission refers to the splitting of a cell into two equal parts, neither of which is the correct method of reproduction for yeast.
