Explanation:

2]Penicillium ascomycetous fungi are microscopic organisms that are of major importance in the natural environment, in the production of foods and in the pharmaceutical industry.

3]the genus penicillin molecule is a well-known antibiotics drug used in medicine to fight infection from certain kinds of bacteria. Others of this species are used in the food making industry specifically in the production of cheese.

4]Its microscopy can make the organism pass for an interesting life form to study with the aid of the microscope; specimens of the organism are readily available in one's own refrigerator which can be a fruitful search area.

5]The organism is a saprophytic fungus are mostly present in the soil, in the air, and in decaying organic matter and is most commonly referred to as the green or blue mold.

6]Penicillium species are widely notable for their numerous and closely packed brush-like structures that produce spores which are called penicilli (sing.: penicillus). They possess simple or branching structures that are slightly elongated and end in clusters of flask-shapes known as phialides and are called conidiophores

7]The spores also are known as conidia. They are manufactured or produced in dry chains and they emanate from the tips of the phialides. The oldest spores occupy the apex of the phialides while the youngest spores are found at the base of the phialides.

8]One important feature in the identification of Penicillium species is its branching as can be seen in some species like P. glabrum which are unbranched and they just bear one cluster of phialides occupying the top of the stipe

9]Its vegetative body is known as mycelial and is to a great degree branched with septate hyphae, which is composed of thin-walled cells made up of one or more nuclei. Each septum possesses a central pore necessary for the maintenance of cytoplasmic continuity.

10]In some of the vegetative body, mycelia grow much deeper into the substratum in order to absorb food nutrients while others persist on the substrate to form a mycelial felt. Food in penicillium is stored in the form of oil globules.
