State
Septate hyphae divide into cells by perforated cross-walls called septa; coenocytic hyphae lack septa, forming one large cell with many nuclei.
Show
Bread mold hyphae, in Zygomycota, are coenocytic, while most other fungal phyla divide their hyphae with perforated septa.
Watch for
Perforated septa let molecules stream between cells — a septate hypha is divided, but not sealed, cell to cell.
