| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| mildew | black and found on windowsills and such |
| Are fungi classified as plants, animals or neither? Explain your answer. | Neither. They are not plants because they don’t have chloroplast. Not animals because they don’t have a cell wall |
| What characteristics do fungi share with plants? | Cell walls, multicellular |
| What characteristics do fungi share with animals? | Multicellular, heterotrophic, and eukaryotic |
| What are the 3 main types of fungi? | Molds, club fungi, and sac fungi |
| How are fungus cells different from bacteria cells? | Some are single celled and some aren’t. |
| What are hyphae? | Hyphae are thread like structures that are usually found in soil |
| How do most fungi reproduce? | They reproduce by spoars. |
| Why do you think fungi produce so many spores, while many animals only produce a few babies? | Because they don’t care for them, they just release them over a large area and hope there’s some land where they can grow |
| What are some examples of molds? | Penicillium, slime mold |
| What is the mold Penicillium notatum known for? | It is known by making antibiotics. |
| What are some familiar examples of sac fungi? | Morels, truffles, and powdery mildew |
| What are some uses of sac fungi? | food, decomposers |
| Why are club fungi given that name? | heir reproductive structure looks like a club. |
| fungi | part of the 5 kingdoms |
| zooplankton | •Zooplankton are the heterotrophic (sometimes detritivorous) type of plankton. Plankton are organisms drifting in the water column of oceans, and seas |
| Pseudo pod | Pseudopods or pseudopodia are temporary projections of eukaryotic cells. Cells having this faculty are generally referred to as amoeboids |
| Phytoplankton | •photosynthetic or plant constituent of plankton; mainly unicellular algae |
| Autotrophic | •of or relating to organisms (as green plants) that can make complex organic nutritive compounds from simple inorganic sources by photosynthesis |
| Heterotrophic | •requiring organic compounds of carbon and nitrogen for nourishment; "most animals are heterotrophic" |
| Spore | •a small usually single-celled asexual reproductive body produced by many nonflowering plants and fungi |
| Decompose | •separate (substances) into constituent elements or parts |
| Fungicide | •A substance used to kill fungus |
| Hyphae | •A hypha (plural hyphae) is a long, branching filamentous cell of a fungus, and also of unrelated Actinobacteria. |
| Vascular tissue | •tissue that conducts water and nutrients through the plant body in higher plants |
| Fertilize | •To make (the soil) more fertile by adding nutrients to it; To make more creative or intellectually productive; To cause to produce offspring through insemination; to inseminate |
| Pollination | •transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a plant |
| seed | •a mature fertilized plant ovule consisting of an embryo and its food source and having a protective coat or testa |
| Tracheophyte | •vascular plant: green plant having a vascular system |
| Bryophyte | •Bryophytes are all embryophytes ('land plants') that are non-vascular: they have tissues and enclosed reproductive systems |
| Gymnosperm | •gymnosperms - "naked seed" plants, including conifers |
| Angiosperm | •plants having seeds in a closed ovary |
| Botanist | •a biologist specializing in the study of plants |
| Conifer | •any gymnospermous tree or shrub bearing cones |
| •any gymnospermous tree or shrub bearing cones | •Biodiversity is the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem |
