Answer #1

Answer:-

2) the structure which made the Rhizopus on the plate to appear fluffy is white mycelium.

Fungal undergoes dimorphism i.e it switch from hyphae to yeast or yeast to hyphae.

Mycelium develope from hyphae but not from yeast and hyphae can be found in molds Therefore mycelium is found in molds not in yeast .

3) yeast infections from candida albicans is opportunistic

Because it is usually present as a commensal in gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts but when the host become immunocompromised then it causes infections.

Circumstance that can present as a opportunity for candidiasis is immunocompromised host and altered normal flora.

This happens because of :- chronic illness like asthma, malnutrition,cancer and diabetes

Hiv infections, autoimmune disorders, blood disorders.
