Question

4. why Some hyphae in Rhizopus grow downwards​

Answer 1

Answer:

Some hyphae in Rhizopus grow downward to absorb food from dead material in the ground.

Explanation:

The most common rhizopus is "fungi". Fungi have microscopic thread-like structures which are known as "hyphae". Each hypha contains a tube in which cytoplasm and vacuole are enclosed in a wall. The hyphae are divided into multiple compartments due to the presence of cross walls in which nuclei are present. Fungi can not prepare food as plants do. Therefore, they rely upon dead organisms and obtain their food from them. Hyphae form a branching network and they penetrate into the ground to absorb food from the dead organic material. Therefore some hyphae in rhizopus grow downward.
