Use of an artificial kidney during hemodialysis may
result in:
(A) Nitrogenous waste build-up in the body
(B) Non-elimination of excess potassium ions
(C) Reduced absorption of calcium ions from gastrointestinal tract
(D) Reduced RBC production
Which of the following options is the most
appropiate?
The incorrect statement is option 2. In NCERT, yeasts are described as unicellular fungi that reproduce by budding; they do not have filamentous bodies with long threadlike hyphae. Hyphae are characteristic of molds. Hence, saying yeasts have filamentous bodies with long hyphae is false. The other statements are true: Morels and truffles are edible fungi; Claviceps produces ergot alkaloids and related compounds (from which some drugs are derived, historically linked to LSD); Conidia are produced exogenously (on conidiophores) while ascospores are formed inside an ascus (endogenously).
🧠 Did You Know?
Yeasts are widely used in baking and fermentation due to their unicellular nature and budding reproduction.
💡 NCERT Memory Line:
Yeasts: unicellular fungi; molds: filamentous with hyphae; ascospores: inside ascus; conidia: exogenously on conidiophores.
