Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of cellulose cell walls and motile zoospores suggests that this organism belongs to the group Stramenopiles, which includes the oomycetes (water molds). Oomycetes are multicellular heterotrophs that produce coenocytic hyphae and motile zoospores, and have cellulose cell walls. Ascomycete and zygomycete fungi have chitin cell walls, while green algae do not produce hyphae or cellulose and tapeworms are not fungi or algae.
