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
