The following statements describe something about the body structures or functions of fungi. Identify those statements that are correct.
Select all that apply.

Nutrients can flow through the entire mycelium in fungi with coenocytic hyphae, but not in fungi with septate hyphae.
Some fungi secrete digestive enzymes into the environment and then absorb the digested nutrients.
All fungi are heterotrophs; some species live as decomposers and others as symbionts.
Some fungi can grow as either filamentous or single-celled forms.
Mycelia are made up of small-diameter hyphae that form an interwoven mass, providing more surface area for nutrient absorption.
Cellulose gives rigidity and strength to the cell walls of fungi.

What is the Septobasidium spp?

Fungal hyphae penetrate a living scale insect's body and absorb its nutrients. The individual insect that serves as the food source is immobilized, but the rest of the insect colony benefits from the shelter the fungus provides.
