Question

Q.3. Differentiate the following: a) Sporangium and Conidium b) Basidiocarp and Ascocarp c) Zoospores and Ascospores d) Mycelium and Mycorrhizae

Answer 1

After reading some books ,I think :

The correct answer is: we can differentiate very easily between sporangium and conidium .In the case of sporangium they present in the cell until maturity but in the case of conidium it is a type of spore which are present externally

in the case of basidiocarp, it is a fruiting body of basidiomycete ,which have some spore-like structure on special cells but in the case of ascocarp, it is the fruiting body of an ascomycetous fungus. Basidiocarp is club shaped while ascocarp is funnel-shaped

In the case of zoospore it is a type of flagellated asexual spore produced zoosporangia but in the case of ascospore it is a sexual spore .

in the case of a mycelium, it is a vegetative part of a fungus but mycorrhizal is a type of relationship between mycelium of a fungus and here itis nothing but a root
