The hyphae of fungus serve as the main mode of vegetative growth.

Mycelia and hyphae are use to absorb nutrients from other organisms.

Explanation:

Fungi are either unicellular or multicellular organisms that are found in moist, slightly acidic and low oxygen environment. They are heterotrophs and decomposers.

Their cell walls are rigid and are composed of chitin and glucans. They are characterized by long filamentous structure called hypae. The structures of hypae form the mycelia.

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.
