**Compost Microbe - Part 3: Structures**

The filaments growing into the agar are ______ and ___ function in ____________.

**Options:**
- Enzymatic hyphae; digestion
- Vegetative hyphae; secretion of hydrolytic enzymes and absorption of nutrients
- Aerial hyphae; spore production
- Degradative hyphae; absorptive nutrition

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image shows a petri dish with three circular growths of fungal colonies on an agar medium. Each colony appears circular with a distinct pattern that may indicate different structures or stages of fungal development, such as the formation of concentric rings. This visual can help in understanding how various structures of fungi develop and interact with their growing medium.
