| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The study of fungi. | Mycology |
| Ability of some fungi to change form in order to survive in different environments. | Dimorphism |
| The process in which enzymes are secreed to digest food outside the organism. | External Digestion |
| The slender filaments that compose the mycelium of a hypnotist. | Hyphae |
| Lacking septa or internal divisions. | Coenocytic |
| All of the hyphae in a fungus. | Mycelia |
| A rootlike structure that lacks water-conducting tissue. | Rhizoid |
| Hyphae of parasitic fungi that enter the host's cells to obtain nourishment. | Haustoria |
| Hyphae of a fungus that grow above the substrate. | Aerial Hyphae |
| In fungi, an aerial, horizontal hypha that produces new fungi asexually; in plants, a slender, branched, underground stem that produces new shoots. | Stolon |
| A spore-producing hypha of a fungus mycelium; spore-producingstage in the life cycle of a plant. | Sporophore |
| A fungus sporophore that produces its asuxual spores within an enclosure. | Sporangiophore |
| A structure in which spores are produced. | Sporangium |
| A fungus sporophore that forms asexual conidia by repeated divisions at its tip and not in an enclosure. | Conidiophore |
| A type of asexual reproduction in which portions from the parent form a new organism; in plants, a method of grafting in which a bud is placed under the bark of another plant. | Budding |
| The structure in which the haploid ascospores are formed in the molds of the class Ascomycota. | Ascus |
| A fungus that has a knowm form of sexual reproduction and can thus be classified into one of the three fungal phyla. | True Fungi |
| Any fungi in which sexual reproduction has not been observed. | Imperfect Fungi |
| A fungus of the phylum Basidiomycota with a complex life cycle. Most rusts are harmful plant diseases. | Rust |
| Harmful plant pathogens of phylum Basidoiomycota, usually producing several different kinds of spores, but having only one host species. | Smut |
| A fungus and an alga or cyanobacteria living together in a symciotic relationship. | Lichen |
| Relationship in which two organisms of diggerent species live together in close association, venefiting both organisms; lichens are an example. | Symbiosis |
| Symciotic relationship between fungal hyphae and plant roots. | Mycorrhizae |
