eukaryotes (usually haploid), heterotrophs but absorb food from their surroundings; are frequently parasitic or symbiotic

increases surface area and enhances their ability to grow into and absorb nutrients from their surroundings

connected filaments that collectively make up the mycelium of a fungus

a structural polysaccharide consisting of amino sugar monomers, found in many fungal cell walls and in the exoskeletons of all arthropods

densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus

temporary reproductive structures; produced sexually or asexually

1.Separated by cells walls (Septa) that contain pores 2.No septa so they’re continuous 3.Grow into plant root or stem

grows as a filamentous fungus and produces haploid spores by mitosis and forms a visible mycelium; simple morphology and lifestyle; reproduction mostly asexual; penicillin and cyclosporine are made by these; cheeses use it for color and flavor

single-celled fungus that reproduces asexually by binary fission or by the pinching of small buds off a parent cell; some species exhibit cell fusion between different mating types

symbiotic collective, mutualistic association between a fungus(traps minerals from dust &rain&provides physical support)and a photosynthetic alga or cyanobacterium(makes food by photosynthesis);grows in places where algae wouldnt b able to by itself

mutualistic association of plant roots and fungus, the fungus surrounds and penetrates the roots of the plant and ships nutrients from soil into root for exchange of organic material from plant

Fungi

Question	Answer
Fungi	eukaryotes (usually haploid), heterotrophs but absorb food from their surroundings; are frequently parasitic or symbiotic
Morphology	increases surface area and enhances their ability to grow into and absorb nutrients from their surroundings
Hyphae	connected filaments that collectively make up the mycelium of a fungus
Chitin	a structural polysaccharide consisting of amino sugar monomers, found in many fungal cell walls and in the exoskeletons of all arthropods
Mycelium	densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus
Spores	temporary reproductive structures; produced sexually or asexually
How hyphae vary	1.Separated by cells walls (Septa) that contain pores 2.No septa so they’re continuous 3.Grow into plant root or stem
Arthrobotrys	predatory
Molds	grows as a filamentous fungus and produces haploid spores by mitosis and forms a visible mycelium; simple morphology and lifestyle; reproduction mostly asexual; penicillin and cyclosporine are made by these; cheeses use it for color and flavor
Yeasts	single-celled fungus that reproduces asexually by binary fission or by the pinching of small buds off a parent cell; some species exhibit cell fusion between different mating types
Lichen	symbiotic collective, mutualistic association between a fungus(traps minerals from dust &rain&provides physical support)and a photosynthetic alga or cyanobacterium(makes food by photosynthesis);grows in places where algae wouldnt b able to by itself
Mycorrhizae	mutualistic association of plant roots and fungus, the fungus surrounds and penetrates the roots of the plant and ships nutrients from soil into root for exchange of organic material from plant
