KingdomFungi
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Kingdom Fungi | multicellular eukaryotes |
| Three levels of complexity with in Kingdom Fungi | hypha, hyphae and mycelium |
| Define hypha | individual strand of cells |
| Define hyphae | multiple strands of cells |
| Define mycelium | large mass of hyphae |
| Two types of nutrient uptake within Kingdom Fungi | absorptive: saprophytic and parasitic |
| Define saprophytic | taking nutrients from dead organic matter |
| Define parasitic | taking nutrients from living matter |
| Fungi reproduction | no male/female use chemical differences (+ and -), |
| Stages of fungi reproduction | mycelium, plasmogamy, dikaryotic mycelium,karyogamy, zygote |
| Define plasmogamy | fusion of the cytoplasm, process that gives dikaryotic mycelium |
| Define dikaryotic mycelium | NOT DIPLOID (N+N), produces fruiting body, don't merge nuclei |
| Define karyogamy | fusion of nuclei |
| This is within the cell wall of Kingdom Fungi | chitin |
| In what situation are fungi primary decomposers | aerobic |
| Phylum Zygomycota | the bread molds, saprophytic; within their life cycle their spores produce mycelium and sporangium produces spores |
| Rhizopus | Kingdom Fungi, Phylum Zygomycota |
| Phylum Ascomycota | sac fungi, yeasts truffles, molds, and morels; asexual via conidophores and sexual reproduction via the fruiting body or 'cup' and ascospores |
| Phylum Basidiomycota | club fungi, mushroom, buffballs, shelf, rusts/smuts; introduce gills where sexual reproduction tales place |
| Define basidiocarp | the entire fruiting body of a Basidomycota |
| Lichens | mutualistic relationship between fungi and green algae; three growth forms |
| The three growth forms of lichens | crustose, foliose and fruitiose |
| Define crustose | flat, 2D; usually on rocks and brightly colored lichens |
| Define foliose | leaf like, grow in sheets; lichens |
| Define fruitiose | on upright stalk 3D; lichens |
| Lichens are a very good __________ because they are so _______ | bioindicator; sensitive |
| Chlorophytes | a clade of green algae, completely dependent on water; ancestor of terrestrial plants; few mechanisms against water loss |
| Chlamydomonas | genera of green algae which is unicellular, motile, and each cell has a variety of organelles: large cup shaped chloroplats, eye spot (stigma) and two flagella that cause rapid movement |
| Chorella | genera of chlorophytes, unicellular and aquatic; small and round |
| Volvox | genera of chlorophytes; colonial (500-60,00 cells) very similar to chlamydomonas |
| Ulothrix | genera of chlorophytes; filamentous, holdfast, haplontic life cycle |
| Ulva | genera of chlorophytes; multicellular, shallow marine habitat, haplontic (alternation of generations) |
