Explanation:

here is your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is Moulds, it is the cottony growth developed on rotting bread.

Explanation:

What is Fungi

• A fungus is a spore-producing organism that feeds on organic matter including moulds, yeast, mushrooms, or toadstools
• Fungi are generally decomposers, they get their nourishment from decomposing or dead organic materials (usually plants).
• Exoenzymes from fungi can break down insoluble polysaccharides like cellulose and lignin in dead wood into glucose molecules that are easily absorbed.

Moulds:

• Mould is a fungus that grows in the form of hyphae, which are multicellular threads.
• Molds cause natural materials to biodegrade, which can be undesirable when it results in food spoiling or property damage.

Bread Mould fungi:

• Bread mould is the common term for the organism growing on the moist slice of bread, and it is Rhizopus stolonifer sps.
• Because the spores of this fungus are prevalent in the air, bread mould grows quickly on moist slices of bread, and it reproduces asexually under favourable conditions (nutrients and moisture).
