Students have asked these similar questions
Contrast the habitats of Zygomycota and Glomeromycota.
Glomeromycota help extract resources for plants to grow. The plant provides the
Glomeromycota with carbohydrates in exchange. This is an example of a:
a) Saprotroph
b) Symbiote
c) Predator
d) Parasite
A biologist is trying to classify an organism on the basis of the fact that they undergo sexual reproduction resulting through the formation of a sporangia that is protected by a thick coating. If you were asked for advice, to which group would you assign this new species?
Glomeromycota
Zygomycota
Deuteromycota
Basidiomycota
Ascomycota
