Question 1

Describe the key features of fungi

Answer 1

Growth form
Nutrients (heterotrophs)
Propagation
Reproduction

Question 2

describe the fungi growth formation

Answer 2

septa cells make hyphae filaments which make up the mycelium which composes the body. Begin as spores which begin to sprout when landed and given moisture.

Question 3

describe their methos of propagation

Answer 3

spores can be carried very far through the wind when it lands on a plant the hyphae enter the plant and grow, when ready to propagate it ‘bursts’ from the plant and releases spores.

Question 4

descride their diviation in reproduction

Answer 4

structures sprout above the mycelium (mushrooms) most are haploid and reproduce sexually

Question 5

describe ascomycetes: sac fungi, 75% of fungi (penicillium)
reproduction

Answer 5

Ascomycetes: sac fungi, 75% of fungi (penicillium)

Question 6

Describe basidiomycete reproduction

Answer 6

Basidiomycete: sexual reproduction, mushrooms,

Question 7

Characeteristics of Chytrids

Answer 7

Swimming spores, parasitic, flagellated (chytridiomycosis - disease affecting amphibians)

Question 8

Characeteristics of Zygomycetes

Answer 8

Live in soil or decaying matter, sexual and asexual reproduction

Question 9

Characeteristics of Glomeromycetes

Answer 9

Grows on plant roots, hyphae penetrate root cell and often have symbiotic relationships and aids in cellular respiration (Mycorrhizae)

Question 10

significance on agriculture

Answer 10

Corn smut, mallow rust, chestnut blight, dutch elm disease, aspergillus,

Question 11

significance on pharmacy

Answer 11

penicillin, cyclosporin, cephalosporin

Question 12

significance on agent of disease/allergy

Answer 12

athlete’s foot. Ringworm, jock itch, candida albicans (vaginal infection), histoplasmosis

Question 13

significance on food production

Answer 13

breakdown, fermentation - soy sauce, cheese, truffles, morels, mushrooms, bread

Question 14

significance on beverage production

Answer 14

wine, beer, spirits (yeasts)

Question 15

significance as decomposers

Answer 15

Decomposers are the only fungi which can decompose cellulose and lignin which liberates the nutrient trapped inside for the ecosystem.

Question 16

example of mutualistic associations between fungi and other eukaryotic organisms (lichen)

Answer 16

critical in forming soil crusts, fungus provides support and protection

Question 17

example of mutualistic associations between fungi and other eukaryotic organisms (Mycorrhizae)

Answer 17

fungus get sugars from the plant the the plant gain nutrient absorption with the fundus increased surface area

Question 18

example of mutualistic associations between fungi and other eukaryotic organisms (Endophytes)

Answer 18

produce chemicals that deter feeding by herbivores, aid the plants resilience and may be harmful to digest for grazing livestock.

Question 19

Cytrids, Zygomycetes, Glomeromycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidimycetes

Question 20

Example of Chytrids

Answer 20

Chytridiomycosis - diease that effects frogs caused by these.

Question 21

Example of Zygomycetes

Answer 21

Bread mold Rhizopus

Question 22

Example of Glomeromycetes

Answer 22

mycorrhiza (symbiotic with plants as they increase surface area for nutrient and water uptake

Question 23

Example of Ascomycetes

Answer 23

Sac Fungai like Penicillium and brewers yeast

Question 24

Example of Basidiomycetes

Answer 24

club fungai like Magic mushrooms, Death cap, Shiitake, Corn smut

Question 25

Whay are Ascomycetes nickname sac fungai?

Answer 25

during sexual reproduction, their hyphae tips form small sac-like structures that contain the sexual spores.
