TermDefinition
chitin tough, flexible polysaccharide in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans and in fungal cell walls.
hypha threadlike filament that makes up the basic structural unit of a multicellular fungus.
mycelium complex, netlike mass made up of branghing hyphae.
fruiting body spore-producing fungal reproductive structure
spore reproductive haploid (n) cell with a hard outer shell that forms a new organism without the fusion of gametes and is produced in the asexual and sexual life cycles of most fungi and some other organisms.
stolon type of hypha formed by a mold that spreads over a food's surface
rhizoid tye of hypha formed by a mold that penatrates a food's surface.
lichen symbiotic relationship between a fungus (usually an ascomycete) and an alga or a photosynthetic partner
bioindicator living organism that is sensitive to environmental conditions and is one of the first to respond to changes
mycorrhiza symbiotic relationship between a specialized fungus and plant roots fungal hyphae help plants obtain water and minerals and plants supply carbohydrates and amino acids to the fungus
Explain the two types of hyphae that fungi can have. septate and aseptate. Septate has cell walls and aseptate does not.
Name and explain the three ways fungi can obtain food. Saprophytic fungi are decomposers tat recycle nutrients from dead organisms. Parasitic fungi absorb nutrients from the living cells of another organism. Mutualistic fungi live in a mutualistic relationship with another organism.
Name and explain the three ways that fungi can reproduce asexual Budding-The new cell develops while attached to the parent cell. Fragmentation- Occurs when the mycelium is broken apart. Spore reproduction- A spore develops into a new organism without the fusion of gametes.
What types of foods do we get from the fungi kingdom Mushrooms we eat are fungi. Yeast makes bread rise. Truffles are fungi. The flavors of some cheese are the result of fungi.
Chemical compounds found in the fungus Claviceps purpurea can be helpful to people. Name three of those. Penicillium notatum, Claviceps purpurea, and inflatum.
The fungus Tolypocladium inflatum is a source of cyclosporine. What is that drug used for? Cyclosporine is an immune suppressant drug given to organ transplant patients to keep their bodies from rejecting the new organ.
Give three harmful effects of fungi American elm trees are killed by the fungus Ceratocystis ulmi and American chestnut trees are killed by the fungus Endothia parasitica. the fungal parasite Leprorerochila medicaginis can diminish crop production by as much as 80 percent.
What are the things that lichens need in order to grow? Where are they found? Lichens only need light, air, and minerals to grow. They are found in the harshest environments.
How do both organisms benefit that are found in a mycorrhizal relationship? Mutualistic relationship between fungus and plant root. THe fungus absorbs and concentrates various minerals for the plant. The hyphae increase the plants root surface area for absorptions.
Characteristics of Chytridiomycota (Chytrids) Unicellular Most are aquatic Some are saprophytic Produce flagellated spores
Characteristics of zygomycota (Common Molds) Multicellular Most are terrestrial. Many form mutualistic relationships with plants. Reproduce sexually and asexually
Characteristics of Ascomycota (Sac Fungi) Most are multicellular, but some are unicellular. Variety of habitats; saprophytic Parasitic or mutualistic Reproduce sexually and asexually Yeast are an example
Characteristics of Basidiomycota (Club Fungi) Most are multicellular few are unicellular Most are terrestrial. Saprophytic, parasitic, or mutualistic Rarely produce asexually
Characteristics of Deuteromycota (Imperfect Fungi) No sexual sage observed. Very diverse group Might not be considered a true phylum
