fungus
Question | Answer |
---|---|
During the process of..... energy is released | fermentation |
.... are saclike structures that produce many spores | sporangia |
club fungi produce spores on a sac called.... | ascus |
bread mold produces masses of threadlike structures called | hyphae |
..... are fungi that produce spores in special structures on the tips of hyphae | sporangia fungi |
..... is a type of sexual reproduction in which an outgrowth from the parent organism forms a new organism | budding |
sac fungi are fungi that.... | produce spores inside an ascus |
yeast cells may reproduce by forming spores or by.... | budding |
a sporangium fungus obtains food by.... | absorption |
club fungi include puffballs, bracken fungi, and..... | mushrooms |
a sporangium fungus reproduces by..... | spores and zygospores |
unlike a plant, a fungus does not have... | chlorophyll |
which one of the following helpful fungi is used to flavor cheese.... | mold |
each basidium will produce how many spores | four |
the basidia are found on what part of the mushroom | gills |
fermentation produces what products? | carbon dioxide and alcohol |
masses of hyphae are called what | mycelium |
another name for anaerobic respiration is.. | fermentation |
a person who studies fungi is called a.... | mycologist |
the cell walls of fungi are made of... | chitin |
what is the common ancestor of fungi | aquatic single-celled flagellated protist |
fungi: closer to plants or animals? | animals |
fungi: prokaryote or eukaryote | eukaryote |
fungi: heterotroph or autotroph | heterotroph |
what do fungi store their carbs as | glycogen |
which fungi is unicellular | yeast |
cells of two different individuals unite, but nuclei remain separate and the two nuclei eventually fuse to create diploid zygote | dikaryotic stage |
microscopic, thread-like filaments that branch rapidly within food source | hyphae |
mass of aggregated hyphae | mycelium |
appears above ground and is the part we see of fungi | fruiting body |
microscopic reproductive cells. once they land on good habitat, they germinate and give rise to hyphae | spores |
asexual spores | conidia |
hyphae aggregate to form fruiting body which produces spores | sexual spores |
list the five phyla of fungi | chytridiomycetes, zygomycetes, glomeromycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes |
what is the fruiting body of fungi made up of? | stalk which supports a cap w/ numerous gills that produce spores |
which phyla of fungi is responsible for the infecting and killing of amphibians? | chytridiomycetes |
produce enzymes which break down cellulose, chitin, and keratin and found in a cow's digestive tract | chytridiomycetes |
only fungi to produce swimming cells w/ single flagellum | chytridiomycetes |
1000 species including black bread mold | zygomycetes |
grows quickly and can be parasites on insects | zygomycetes |
what is the cause of mold on bread being black? | the zygosporangium in zygomycetes |
2 hyphae fuse, haploid nuclei fuses into diploid zygospore protected by zygosporangium and zygospore undergoes meiosis to create haploid hyphae to produce spore sac and release spores | sexual reproduction of zygomycetes |
uses conidia which is the product of mitosis | asexual reproduction of zygomycetes |
smallest group of fungi | glomeromycetes |
this group can't grow on their own so they must have relationship w/ roots | glomeromycetes |
generally asexual and not sexual | glomeromycetes |
this group includes mycorrhiza fungi and arbuscules | glomeromycetes |
hyphae absorbs water and mineral from the soil and shares w/ the plant (mutualistic) | mycorrhiza fungi |
highly branched structures inside the roots of plants where the exchange of materials takes place | arbuscules |
largest group of fungus | ascomycetes |
some colonize insects, decompose organisms, or form a relationship w/ photosynthetic organisms | ascomycetes |
causes athletes foot and black mold in homes | ascomycetes |
list 4 examples of ascomycetes | truffles, penicillium, fermentation w/ yeast, cyclosporine |
hyphae fuse but individual nuclei do not (dikaryotic) and eventually they fuse to create diploid zygote that undergoes meiosis to create 4 haploid nuclei that go thru mitosis and create 8 haploid ascospores | sexual reproduction of ascomycetes |
group includes mushrooms and puffballs | basidiomycetes |
spores are dispersed by wind, animals, or water | basidiomycetes |
group includes smuts and rusts | basidiomycetes |
smuts and ruts cause | crop disease |
basidiomycetes reproduce asexually thru... | conidia |
2 haploid hyphae fuse to create dikaryotic mycelium that sends up a mushroom and the basidia the nuclei fuse to create diploid zygote and undergoes meiosis to create 4 haploid nuclei | sexual reproduction of basidiomycetes |
list four examples of mutualism in fungi | endophytes, mycorrhizal fungi, ants & fungi, and lichen |
hyphae that live between the cells of a plant's tissues without causing disease and all plants have this | endophytes |
some plants can't survive without this relationship on roots, this produces branched arbuscules after it pierces root cells and extends to soil to absorb water and nutrients | mycorrhizal fungi |
fungal hyphae wrap around root tips and surrounding soil but DO NOT penetrate root cells | ectomycorrhize |
ectomycorrhize are primarily found in which two phyla | basidiomycetes and ascomycetes |
similarity between endophyte and mycorrhizal fungi | both occupy the roots of plants |
differences between endophyte and mycorrhizal fungi (2) | endophytes don't make arbuscules and mycorrhizal fungi cannot survive on their own |
ants transport paste from saliva and disks from leaves which fungus grows on and the ant then eats the fungus grown | ants and fungi |
forms when a fungus harbors green algae or cyanobacteria among its hyphae | lichen |
lichen is primarily formed with what two phyla? | basidiomycetes and ascomycetes |
list three characteristics of lichen | photosynthetic partner gives carbs and fungus absorbs h2o & nutrients, lichen secrete acids to break down rock, good indicator species for air quality |
