The study of fungi is called? Mycology
Unicellular fungi are? Yeasts
Multicellular fungi are? Molds
Yeast reproduce by? Budding
Molds produce thread-like filaments called? Hyphae
Hyphae with cross walls are called? Septate hyphae
Hyphae without cross walls are called? Aseptate or nonseptate hyphae
A mass of hyphae is called? Mycelium
Mycelium that obtain nutrients are called? Vegetative mycelium (the roots)
Mycelium that produce spores are called? Reproductive or aerial mycelium.
Spores do what for molds? They are a means of reproduction.
What are the 5 asexual spores? Arthrospores, blastospores, chlamydiospores, conidiospores, and sporangiospores.
What asexual spore is fragmented or rectangular? Arthrospores
What asexual spore buds? Blastospores
What asexual spore has thick walls, which are formed by segmentation of hyphae? Chlamydiospore
Chlamydiospores have 3 kinds: Terminal (at the end of the hyphae), intercalary (within the hyphae), and sessile (which are on the sides).
What asexual spore is produced in a chain? Conidiospores
What are the various Conidiospore structures? Microcondia (little hairs), and Macroconidia (in a pod). Then we have Conidiophore (the trunk), vesicles (the body), phialide (fingers or branches), and conidia (the attached spores, no more then 6).
Penicillin is shaped like a: Goblet
Aspergillus is shaped like a: Medusa with snakes!
What asexual spore forms at the end of a hyphae? Sporangiospores
What are the 3 kinds of sexual spores? Ascospores, basidiospores, and zygospores.
What sexual spore passes the nucleus of a male thru a bridge into a female cell and fuse? Ascospores
The female sexual spore cell becomes an? Ascus (sac like structure which contains 2-8 ascospores)
What sexual spore forms on a pedestal? Basidiospores, the pedestal is called a Basidium.
What sexual spore is produced when two hyphae form an arm and extend to meet each other? Zygospore or oospore.
A __________ is formed when two hyphae form a thick wall. Zygosporangium

Dimorphic fungi grow at ____ as a yeast, and at ____ as a mold. 37 degrees, and 25 degrees.
What are the two phylums of fungi? Perfect fungi- non-pathogens, and Imperfect fungi- pathogenic in humans.
Imperfect fungi reproduce by? Asexual reproduction
Ringworm is caused by: Tinea
Ringworm of the nails: Tinea unguium
