Answer:

Human cells can readily absorb folic acid; bacteria cells cannot.

Explanation:

Bacterial cells cannot absorb folic acid and synthesize it. On the other hand, humans do not synthesize folic acid in their cells. They rather obtain it from the diet. Sulfa drugs, for example, sulfanilamide resemble p-aminobenzoate (PABA). PABA is a molecule that is used as a substrate in the synthesis of the coenzyme folic acid. The sulfa drugs serve as competitive inhibitors and compete with PABA for the catalytic site of an enzyme involved in the folic acid synthesis. This prevents the synthesis of folic acid in bacterial cells and thereby, inhibits bacterial growth.

Answer:

The correct answer will be Ascomycetes or sac fungi.

Explanation:

Ascomycetes or sac fungi is a group of fungi which produce haploid spores in elongated sac like structures called asci.

Sac fungi are hetertrophic  which means they can have three different methods of obtaining food. They can be saprophytes (decomposers) or parasitic (pathogens) or mutualistic. Decomposer fungi species of ascomycetes <em>Rhizopus </em>grows on dead or decaying organisms and take nutrition from them.

Thus, Ascomycetes is the correct answer.
