Chapter 10 Flashcards
Unicellular
Reproduced by budding, or by blowing out
(Blastogenesis)
Yeast
What temperature or degree does yeast grow to
37°C
What temperature does mold grow to
22°C
Multicellular with elongated filaments
Molds / Moulds
Assumes both yeast and mould form, and is temperature dependent
Dimorphic Fungi
Fungi which live on dead or decaying plant and animal remains, and other rotten organic food matter
Saprophytes
Give examples of saprophytes
Mucor
Rhizopus
Agaricus
Parasite who live on other living organisms
Parasites
Requires host to survive
Obligate Parasites
Can either live as parasite or on organic matter
Facultative Saprophytes
Can either be both saprophyte or parasite
Facultative Parasite
True or False
Fungi are able to manufacture their own food
False
Give the macro and major elements of fungi
Carbon (C)
Nitrogen (N)
Hydrogen (H)
Oxygen (O)
Sodium (S)
Potassium (K)
Phosphorus (P)
Magnesium (Mg)
Give the minor or macro elements of fungi
Ca
(maintains the stability of the fungi)
Give the nitrates of fungi
Glucose (primary energy source)
Ammonium and Nitrogenous base, for protein synthesis and formation of RNA and DNA
The vegetative phase of fungi
Thallus
More or less spherical, some are naked, multinucleated, amoeboid mads of protoplasm
Unicellular Thallus
Originated from germination of spore
Filamentous Thallus
Sewn in majority of fungi
Filamentous Thallus
Made of single cell thallus
Unicellular Thallus
Cottony and branched that gives rise to a mass of fluffy thallus
Hyphae
This is compromised by a body of hyphae
Mycelium
The fungal vegetative body, formed by a network of hyphae
Mycelium
A multinucleated structure lacking complete internal cell boundaries
Mycelium
