Answer Key
Test: Simple Organisms
Interpreting Diagrams
1. spores 2. spore cases 3. hyphae 4. asexual
reproduction (sporulation) and sexual reproduction
5. The rhizoids release chemicals that break down
nutrients in the food. The nutrients then move
through the rhizoids and into the mold.

Written Response
21. Scientists are continuing to find the cure to many
diseases caused by bacteria and are also discovering
other beneficial uses of bacteria.
22. Fungi cannot grow without dead and decaying
organisms to feed on because they do not contain
chlorophyll and cannot make their own food.
Therefore, fungi could not be grown hydroponically
like some plants can be.
