Exam 3 Flashcards
What is the life cycle of asexual reproduction for fungi?
Spores
Germination
Mycellium
Spore-producing structures
What is the life cycle of sexual reproduction for fungi?
Spoers Germination Mycellium Plasmogamy Heterokaryotic stage Karyogamy Zygote
Why are fungus considered heterotrophs and how do they accomplish this?
Fungus are heterotrophs because they receive their carbon source from other organisms
They accomplish this by decomposition
What part of the body in fungi divide the hyphae into different cells?
Septa
What are hyphae?
Individual branches used by fungi to obtain nutrients
What are mycelia?
Network of hyphae that have adapted for absorption
What are specialized hyphae that can penetrate the tissue of host called?
Haustoria
What are septa?
Divides the hyphae into different cells, compartments
What are haustoria?
Specialized hyphae that can penetrate their host’s tissue
What are the five fungus groups?
Chytrids - flagellated spores (zoospores)
Zygomycetes - produce zygosporangia
Glameromycetes-form arbuscular mycorrhizae
Ascomycetes - Sac fungi
Basidiomycetes - Have basidium
What are basidium?
Clublike structures where karyogamy occurs
What is arbuscular mychorrhizae?
Penetrates host cell and forms hyphae inside
What are zygosporangia?
Metabolically inactive sporangia
Resistant to freezing and drying
What is the ecological importance of fungi?
Essential for breaking down organic material and recycling nutrients into the enviornment
What is a lichen and what are the three different types?
A lichen is a symbiotic relationship between fungus and photosynthetic microorganisms. Crustose (crusty), Foliose (leafy), Fructicose (shrubby).
What is a single celled fungi?
Yeasts
What are yeasts?
Single celled fungi
What is a network of highly branched hyphae called?
Mycelia
What is the difference between septate and coenocytic hyphae?
Septate hyphae contain septa while coenocytic hyphae do not contain septa
What is plasmogamy?
Union of two parent mycellium
What is a heterokaryon?
Two haploid nuclei exist in one mycellium but haven’t fused yet
What is karyogamy?
Fusion of two haploid cells to create a zygote
What are flagellated spores called?
Zoospores
What are zoospores?
Flagellated spores
What is the general term for a fungal infection in animals?
Mycosis
What is mycosis?
The general term for a fungal infection in animals
What are molds?
Fungi that produce haploid spores by mitosis and have visible mycelia
What is an ascocarp?
The fruiting body of the ascomycete
What is the fruiting body of the ascomycete called?
Ascocarp
What is arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi?
Fungi that extend their hyphae through the tissue of their symbiotic partner
What is ectomycorrhizae fungi?
Fungi that extend their hyphae over the root surface of their symbiotic partner
What are the five characteristics that define animals?
Nutritional mode is heterotrophic Multicellular No cell wall Bodies held together by collagen Nervous tissue and muscular tissue unique to animals
What is the difference between diploblastic and triploblastic?
Diploblastic animals have two germ layers
Triploblastic animals have three germ layers
What is determinate cleavage?
Each cell has a determined fate that can not be changed
What is indeterminate cleavage?
Each cell can change what kind of cell they will become at early stage
What are the development features that protostomes posess?
Spiral and determinate cleavage
Coelom formed from mesoderm splitting
Blastopore becomes mouth
What are the development features that deuterosomes posess?
Radial and indeterminate cleavage
Coelom formed from mesoderm budding from archenteron wall
Blastopore becomes anus
What characteristics do all ecdysozoans share?
They secrete an external skeleton (exoskeleton)
What is metamorphosis?
A developmental transformation that changes an organism from larva stage to adult stage
What is a zygote?
The diploid cell produced by the union of haploid gametes during fertilization
A fertilized egg
What is cleavage?
A type of mitotic cell division
What is a blastula?
A hollow ball of cells that marks the end of cleavage division
What is a blastocoel?
The hollow center of the blastula
What is a blastopore?
The opening in the blastula that forms during gasturlation and connects the archenteron to the exterior of the gastrula
What is a gastrula?
A stage in animal development in which the three germ layers are formed
What is cephalization?
Development of a head
What is a trochophore?
Free swimming larva
What is a lophophore?
A crown of ciliated tentacles that surround the mouth and function in feeding
What is ecdysis?
The process through which ecdysozoans shed their exoskeletons
What are eumatazoans?
Animals with true tissues
What is a coelom?
A body cavity lines by tissue derived from the mesoderm
What is radial cleavage?
Cleavage that lines the cells up in tiers having one above the other
What is spiral cleavage?
Cleavage that lines the cells up in tiers having the cells sit in the grooves of adjacent cells
