Answer 1

Mass of white, delicate, cottony threads collectively are Known as (2) hyphae

• Hyphae are present in fungus. These are thin white coloured structures. The collection of hyphae forms the mycelium in fungus.
• The hyphae are of three types namely binding hyphae, generative hyphae and skeletal hyphae. Each type has characteristics depending upon the function performed by it.
• Hyphae have enzymes and are responsible for the absorption of food.
