Answer:

All organisms are made of four types of carbon-based molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.  

Enzymes are mainly protein molecules in cells which work as biological catalysts. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in the body, but do not get used up in the process, therefore can be used over and over again. With an enzyme, chemical reactions go much faster than they would without the enzyme.

Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells. They are vital for life and serve a wide range of important functions in the body, such as aiding in digestion and metabolism.

Different types of enzymes can break down different nutrients:

amylase and other carbohydrase enzymes break down starch into sugar.

protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids.

lipase enzymes break down lipids (fats and oils) into fatty acids and glycerol.

Answer:

Hyphae: Cell filaments,mostly septate

Mycelium: Mass of hyphae

Molds: mostly filamentous, Yeasts: non-filamentous,unicellular fungi

Budding yeasts divide asymmetrically.

Dimorphic fungi: yeast-like at 37°C, mold-like at 25°C.

Fungal spores are reproductive spores (unlike bacterial spores). Used to differentiate fungi.

Growth in acidic, low-moisture, high osmotic pressure environments.

The thallus (body) of a mold or fleshy fungus consists of long filaments of cells joined together; these filaments are called hyphae. Hyphae can grow to immense proportions. The hyphae of a single fungus in Oregon extend across 3.5 miles.

In most molds, the hyphae contain cross-walls called septa (singular: septum), which divide them into distinct, uninucleate (one-nucleus) cell-like units. These hyphae are called septate hyphae. In a few classes of fungi, the hyphae contain no septa and appear as long, continuous cells with many nuclei. These are called coenocytic hyphae. Even in fungi with septate hyphae, there are usually openings in the septa that make the cytoplasm of adjacent "cells" continuous; these fungi are actually coenocytic organisms, too.

Mycelium a mass of long filaments of cells that bring and intertwine, typically found in molds.
