| deuteromycetes | imperfect fungi(sexual cycle not reported) e.g. penicillium |
| temepeh | food made from bread mold (rhizophus) |
| ascomycetes | sac fungi like peziza and yeast are examples |
| bascidia | reproductive structure of bascidiomycota(mushroom) contains spores -> bascidiospores |
| aspergillus | belongs to deutermycetes causes ringworm and athletes foot |
| lichens | algal + fungal symbiotic association in a "thallus" like plant body |
| pencillin | antibiotic extracted from the penicillium mold |
| Soredia | reproductive structure of lichens power mass of algae + hyphae |
| Fucus | brown algae belongs to phacophyta fucoxanthin pigment separate and both sexes |
| agar-agar | white jelly like substance extracted from Gelidium -> red algae(rhodophyta) |

| pepo | a true berry. - exocarp is thick leathery rind e.g. cucumber, pumpkin |
| procambium | meristematic tissue which produces primary xylem and phloem |
| hyphae | interwinded mass of threads found in fungi may branch or fuse |
| phycobilin | red colored pigment found in red algae photosynthetic in function |
| gas bladder | brown algae - filled with air, helps plant float e.g. kelp, fucus |
| sclerenchyma | dead ground tissue found in plants for strength and support-> fibers and sclerides e.g. stone cells of pears |
| bulliform cells | water storing cells foudn in leaf epidermis of monocots e.g. corn |
