Question
Answer
fungi are heterotrophs   obtain nutrients by absorption (digest then ingest)  
🗑
saprophytic fungi   secret enzymes to break down dead organic matter for recycling (carbon, nitrogen, essential minerals)  
🗑
parasitic fungi   obtain nutrients from living hosts most cases causing harm to host in process  
🗑
fungi cell walls are made of mostly what carbohydrate   chitin (also found in exoskeleton of insects)  
🗑
what is the storage carbohydrate of fungi   glycogen (also storage for animal found in muscle and liver cells (startch for plants)  
🗑
fungi can reproduce ______ and _____   sexually and asexually  
🗑
how is fungi sexual lifecycle diff. from all other eukaryotic organisms   the zygote is the only diploid cell, when two mating types fuse the nuclei do not actually fuse but coexist until right conditions  
🗑
after right conditions fusion results in   diploid zygote that immediately undergoes meiosis to return to haploid state  
🗑
what stage is the coexistence of two different mating types of nuclei   dikaryotic (unique to fungi)  
🗑
what kingdom is the fungi more closely related to   animalia probably diverged from common ancestor some 0.6 million years ago  
🗑
almost all plant roots exist symbiotically with   fungi  
🗑
____ fungi have mutualistically beneficial relationship with hos   symbionts  
🗑
fungi kingdom characteristics   non-vascular organisms, eukaryotic, reproduce by spores, sexual (meiotic) and asexual (mitotic), typically not motile although a few (phytrids) have motile phase, alternation of generations  
🗑
_____ _____ can withstand desiccation, they are killed by heat   fungi spores  
🗑
____ spores often require a period of dormancy after they are formed, but ____ spores usually germinate and produce new hyphae whenever and wherever moisture is available   sexual, asexual  
🗑
Asexual spores are produced in special hyphae called ____ in the zygomycetes   sporangia  
🗑
Asexual spores are produced in ______ in the ascomycetes and basidiomycetes   conidia  
🗑
fungal spores form ___ directly with no immature or embryonic stage between spore and adult   hyphae  
🗑
Among fungi, there are no female and male individuals, and no eggs and sperm. Physiological differences among the ___ do exist, however, and result in ___ mating types, only compatible strains fuse   hyphae, different  
🗑
In the zygomycetes the strains are designated simply as (+) and (−). Haploid ( n) gametes are produced by mitotic division from haploid ( n) parent nuclei in specialized hyphae called   gametangia  
🗑
In the ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, sexual reproduction starts with hyphae from two mating strains fusing, but the nuclei remain independent within the merged cytoplasm   plasmogamy  
🗑
In genetic shorthand ___ cells are n + n rather than the 2 n of diploid cells   dikaryotic  
🗑
the nuclei combine, mixing the DNA from the two separate mating types   karyogamy  
🗑
the union of two haploid gametes to form a diploid zygote   syngamy  
🗑
In most fungi, karyogamy is followed almost immediately by a __ ___ ___ that restores the haploid chromosome number to the resultant spores and the new hyphae that are produced when the spores germinate.   reduction division (meiosis)  
🗑
budding, fission, fragmentation, and sporulation are   types of asexual reproduction  
🗑
reproduction is dominant where haploid sporangiospores and conidiospores are created.   Asexual spore  
🗑
Sexual fungal zygotes are only created when the fungi is under   stressful conditions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
