Phycomycetes is an obsolete[1][2][3] polyphyletic taxon for certain fungi with nonseptate hyphae.[4] It is used in the Engler system.[5]

The class Phycomycetes has been abolished and in its place exists Zygomycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Plasmodiophoromycetes, Hyphochytridiomycetes, Trichomycetes (including Harpellales, Asellariales, Eccrinales and Amoebidiales) and Oomycetes. Still, "Phycomycetes" can be used to refer to all the above-mentioned classes as a whole.

The members of this group are found in aquatic habitats and on decaying wood in moist and damp places or as obligate parasites on plants. The mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic. Asexual reproduction by zoospore or by aplanospore. A zygospore is formed by the fusion of two gametes. Examples are Mucor, Rhizopus, and Albugo.

Given the inefficiency of two of the pathways shown in figure 9-4, what advantage could there be to using these pathways to prod

Olin [163]

Answer:

Pathway A and B are anaerobic ways of extracting energy (ATP) from glucose. These pathways are advantageous when little or no oxygen present. The net energy in both pathways is 2ATP. Both pathywas take place in the cytosol of the cell and are categorized as fermentation.

Pathway C is aerobic in which oxygen is used to yield energy (ATP). This pathway is advantageous when energy needs are high because it produces 36 molecules of ATP. Therefore, net energy in this pathway is higher than the anaerobic pathways. This pathyway takes place within the mitochondria and is recognized as cellular respiration.

A schematic illustration can be seen in the image attached.

PS: Glycolysis is common to fermentation and aerobic respiration.
