<span>Amylase needs an optimum pH for its activity. It is in the range of 6-7. Below or above pH will denature this enzyme. The pH level is optimum for this enzyme in the mouth and hence it catalyses the break down of sugar. The pH level of stomach is lower than its optimum level duet to the activity of gastric acid. Hence the enzyme becomes inactive in the stomach.</span>

Which phylum is a group of miscellaneous fungi that don’t fit into the other three categories? Zygomycotes Deuteromycotes Ascomy
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Deuteromycotes

Explanation:

Kingdom Fungi consist of eukaryotic organisms grouped into 3 phyla, with one group that doesn't fit into any of the grouped three. Each group of fungi were classified into phylum based on their reproductive life cycle. The three phyla are Zygomycotes, Ascomycotes, Basidiomycotes.

Zygomycotes produce their spores by meiosis in a structure called Zygosporangium. Ascomycotes produce their spores via meiosis in ascus (sac-like). Basidiomycotes produce their own spores via meiosis in club-like basidium.

However, a fourth group exists that has no known sexual reproductive structure (meiospores), instead it is known to reproduce asexually via mitospores. This group is called DEUTEROMYCOTES or commonly known as FUNGI IMPERFECTI. It is a group of miscellaneous fungi that doesn't fit into the classification basis of the other three phyla.
