The antibiotic penicillin is isolated from <u><em>Penicillium notatum</em></u> fungi
Penicillin was first discovered in 1928 and was used at St. Mary's Hospital, London, by Alexander Fleming to heal wounds due to its antibacterial properties.
Explanation:
Fungi and bacteria usually produce antibiotics (as secondary metabolites) for defense mechanism. They do so to limit competition for resources with other neighboring fungi or bacteria in their environment. This is why when a fungus or bacteria establishes itself in an environment, you hardly see other fungi or bacteria types growing in their vicinity.

Answer:
The correct answer is B. Worms move through changes in body structure caused by contraction of muscles compressing their watery fluid.
Explanation:
The hydroskeleton consists of a fluid-filled cavity, surrounded by muscles. The fluid pressure and the action of the muscles that border it, serve to change the body's shape and produce a movement such as digging or swimming. The successive contraction of various metamers, which are provided with bundles of circular and longitudinal muscle fibers, stretching and thickening parts of the body, allow it to move horizontally. Hydrostatic skeletons have a role in the locomotion of annelids, nematodes and other invertebrates. The hydroskeleton has similarities with the hydrostatic muscles.
