Algae And Lichen Flashcards
Kingdom Fungi
- once thought to be plants
- more closely related to animals than plants
Eukaryotes
Fungi falls into eukaryotes
Fungi
- mostly multicellular (except yeasts)
- mostly terrestrial (except cherries)
- cells walls - chitin (polysaccharides)
*Hyphae -fungal filaments - Mycelium- mass of hyphae
Chitin
Polysaccharide- same material as exoskeleton in kingdom animalia
Hyphae
Fungal filaments connected by sceptae
Chytrids
Fungal species found in aquatic environment
Can damage amphibians
Yeast cell
Eukaryotic cell, single cell fungi
1A
heterotrophs
digest food externally and absorb nutrients
Saprophyte
Parasites
Mutually symbiotic
Mycelium
Mass of hyphae
Rhizoids
Predatory fungus
Fungal filaments will capture round worms, which are nematodes.
Fairy ring
R
Pilobus
Grows out of cow poop
Spores survived digestion
Builds water pressure, fastest speed in nature
Spores shoot out to land in fresh grass, towards the light
Mold
Corn smut
Treatment for psychological issues
Mutuallly symbiotic relationships
Plants mycorrhizae, ants and fungus garderns, Cyanobacteria and or algae lichen.
Leaf cutter ants
Feed leaves to their mushrooms
Mycorrhizal relationships have helped plants evolve and become fully ter
Fungi Reproduction
Zygotes meiosis
Haploid individual
Chytrids
Only fungi that have flagella oldest fungal fossils
Can be parasitic
Zygomycetes
Saprophytes parasites and mutualistic
Zygospores ( meiotic spores)
Black bread mold common mold on food
Asexual reproduction
Ascomycetes
Phylum Ascomycota
Cup flask
Sac fungi
Food spoilage plant disease edibles
As us meiotic sexual spores are formed
Yeasts
Sporangio
Zygosporagium
Spore is diploid, undergoes meiosis
Conidia
