club fungi produce spores on a sac called....	ascus
bread mold produces masses of threadlike structures called	hyphae
..... are fungi that produce spores in special structures on the tips of hyphae	sporangia fungi
..... is a type of sexual reproduction in which an outgrowth from the parent organism forms a new organism	budding
sac fungi are fungi that....	produce spores inside an ascus
yeast cells may reproduce by forming spores or by....	budding
a sporangium fungus obtains food by....	absorption
club fungi include puffballs, bracken fungi, and.....	mushrooms
a sporangium fungus reproduces by.....	spores and zygospores
unlike a plant, a fungus does not have...	chlorophyll
which one of the following helpful fungi is used to flavor cheese....	mold
each basidium will produce how many spores	four
the basidia are found on what part of the mushroom	gills
fermentation produces what products?	carbon dioxide and alcohol
masses of hyphae are called what	mycelium
another name for anaerobic respiration is..	fermentation
a person who studies fungi is called a....	mycologist
the cell walls of fungi are made of...	chitin
what is the common ancestor of fungi	aquatic single-celled flagellated protist
fungi: closer to plants or animals?	animals
fungi: prokaryote or eukaryote	eukaryote
fungi: heterotroph or autotroph	heterotroph
what do fungi store their carbs as	glycogen
which fungi is unicellular	yeast
cells of two different individuals unite, but nuclei remain separate and the two nuclei eventually fuse to create diploid zygote	dikaryotic stage
microscopic, thread-like filaments that branch rapidly within food source	hyphae
mass of aggregated hyphae	mycelium
appears above ground and is the part we see of fungi	fruiting body
microscopic reproductive cells. once they land on good habitat, they germinate and give rise to hyphae	spores
asexual spores	conidia
hyphae aggregate to form fruiting body which produces spores	sexual spores
list the five phyla of fungi	chytridiomycetes, zygomycetes, glomeromycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes
what is the fruiting body of fungi made up of?	stalk which supports a cap w/ numerous gills that produce spores
which phyla of fungi is responsible for the infecting and killing of amphibians?	chytridiomycetes
produce enzymes which break down cellulose, chitin, and keratin and found in a cow's digestive tract	chytridiomycetes
only fungi to produce swimming cells w/ single flagellum	chytridiomycetes
1000 species including black bread mold	zygomycetes
grows quickly and can be parasites on insects	zygomycetes
what is the cause of mold on bread being black?	the zygosporangium in zygomycetes
2 hyphae fuse, haploid nuclei fuses into diploid zygospore protected by zygosporangium and zygospore undergoes meiosis to create haploid hyphae to produce spore sac and release spores	sexual reproduction of zygomycetes
uses conidia which is the product of mitosis	asexual reproduction of zygomycetes
smallest group of fungi	glomeromycetes
this group can't grow on their own so they must have relationship w/ roots	glomeromycetes
generally asexual and not sexual	glomeromycetes
this group includes mycorrhiza fungi and arbuscules	glomeromycetes
hyphae absorbs water and mineral from the soil and shares w/ the plant (mutualistic)	mycorrhiza fungi
highly branched structures inside the roots of plants where the exchange of materials takes place	arbuscules
largest group of fungus	ascomycetes
some colonize insects, decompose organisms, or form a relationship w/ photosynthetic organisms	ascomycetes
causes athletes foot and black mold in homes	ascomycetes
list 4 examples of ascomycetes	truffles, penicillium, fermentation w/ yeast, cyclosporine
hyphae fuse but individual nuclei do not (dikaryotic) and eventually they fuse to create diploid zygote that undergoes meiosis to create 4 haploid nuclei that go thru mitosis and create 8 haploid ascospores	sexual reproduction of ascomycetes
group includes mushrooms and puffballs	basidiomycetes
spores are dispersed by wind, animals, or water	basidiomycetes
group includes smuts and rusts	basidiomycetes
smuts and ruts cause	crop disease
basidiomycetes reproduce asexually thru...	conidia
2 haploid hyphae fuse to create dikaryotic mycelium that sends up a mushroom and the basidia the nuclei fuse to create diploid zygote and undergoes meiosis to create 4 haploid nuclei	sexual reproduction of basidiomycetes
list four examples of mutualism in fungi	endophytes, mycorrhizal fungi, ants & fungi, and lichen
hyphae that live between the cells of a plant's tissues without causing disease and all plants have this	endophytes
some plants can't survive without this relationship on roots, this produces branched arbuscules after it pierces root cells and extends to soil to absorb water and nutrients	mycorrhizal fungi
fungal hyphae wrap around root tips and surrounding soil but DO NOT penetrate root cells	ectomycorrhize
ectomycorrhize are primarily found in which two phyla	basidiomycetes and ascomycetes
similarity between endophyte and mycorrhizal fungi	both occupy the roots of plants
differences between endophyte and mycorrhizal fungi (2)	endophytes don't make arbuscules and mycorrhizal fungi cannot survive on their own
ants transport paste from saliva and disks from leaves which fungus grows on and the ant then eats the fungus grown	ants and fungi
forms when a fungus harbors green algae or cyanobacteria among its hyphae	lichen
lichen is primarily formed with what two phyla?	basidiomycetes and ascomycetes
list three characteristics of lichen	photosynthetic partner gives carbs and fungus absorbs h2o & nutrients, lichen secrete acids to break down rock, good indicator species for air quality
