Fungi vocab/ concepts chap 31

        Help!  

Question
Answer
hypha   filament that collectively makes up body of fungi  
🗑
mycelium   mat of hyphae  
🗑
septa   cross walls that divide hypha into cells  
🗑
coenocytic   multinucleate state resulting from division of nuclei without cytoplasmic division  
🗑
haustoria   in certain symbiotic fungi, specialized hyphae that can penetrate tissues of host organisms  
🗑
mycorrhizae   symbiotic relationship between roots of plants and fungi. benefit to plant: increase root surface area and get phosphates from fungi. benefit to fungi: carbohydrates from plant  
🗑
ectomycorrhizal fungi   hyphae stay on outside of cells  
🗑
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi   penetrate cell wall but not plasma membrane (endomicorrhizae)  
🗑
Is the dominant life stage of a fungi diploid or haploid?   Haploid  
🗑
Describe sexual reproduction of fungi   two different hyphae from two different mating types fuse forming a heterokaryotic stage (aka dikaryotic)  
🗑
plasmogamy   fusion of cytoplasm of two cells (hyphae)  
🗑
karyogamy   fusion of nuclei to form a diploid zygote which undergoes meiosis to produce spore-producing structures aka sporangia  
🗑
Describe asexual reproduction in a fungus   mycelia generate sporangia. Sporangia make haploid spores that undergo mitosis to make mycelia.  
🗑
Deuteromycetes   Fungi in which sexual structures are unknown  
🗑
How do we classify fungi in terms of diversity   It's based on similarity of reproductive structures  
🗑
Opisthokonts   Animals, fungi and protistian relatives are members of this clade. The name refers to the posterior location of the flagella in these organisms  
🗑
Chytrids   Flagellated spores are unique to these fungi  
🗑
Zygomycetes   Form zygosporangium during sexual reproduction  
🗑
Ascomycetes   form an ascocarp, a cuplike structure that contains many asci. tasty ones like truffles and morels  
🗑
Conidia   asexual structure in ascomycetes  
🗑
Basidiomycetes   form basidiocarps (the acutal smurf-house mushroom) within the basidiocarp gills are many basidia, which are spore-producing structures  
🗑
Endophytes   fungi that live inside plant tissues  
🗑
Lichens   symbiotic relationship between green algae/cyanobacteria and fungi  
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
