- What will you observe?
- State the scientific name of the living organism and write its characteristics.
Solution
- If a piece of wet bread or bhakri kept in a humid place for 2-3 days, then filamentous fungi can be seen.
- Generally, fungi such as Mucor and Rhizopus are found on wet bread or bhakri.
Fungi like Mucor have a filamentous body. It has sporangia. Once the spores are formed, sporangia burst to release the spores. These spores germinate in moist and warm place and new fungal colonies are formed.
