Nucleariids, Fungi, Choanoflagellates, Animals
What are the major groups of fungi?
Basidiomycota, zygomycota, chytridiomycota, glomeromycota
Name the 4 characteristic of Fungi
Absorb food through cell wall, made of chitin. Makes mycelium on food or underground, fruiting bodies above ground - make spore
What are part of the Kingdom Fungi?
mushrooms, molds, yeasts
Name the groups that belong to the King
multicellular eukaryotes; heterotrophic, saprophytic
How do Kingdom Fungi reproduce?
by making spores both sexual and asexual reproduction
What does saprophytic mean?
feed on dead organic material
What does heterotrophic mean?
feed by absorptive digestion using enzymes
What are the 3 roles of fungi?
decomposers, parasites, mutualisms (Mychorrhyzal)
What does Mycorrhiza mean?
fungus root, beneficial symbiotic relationship
How does mycelium absorb nutrients?
through their cell walls
Mushrooms are not saprophytes. True of False
False, Mushrooms are saprophytes.
What are the 3 parts of fungi?
hyphae, fruiting body, and mycelium
What is mycelium?
whole extensive organism
What are hyphae?
tubular, typical fungal cell
What do some hyphae have?
some have internal walls with pores that allow smaller organelles to migrate
Most fungi are unicellular, true or false?
False, most mushrooms are multicellular.
What are haustoria?
modified hyphae that grow into plant cell walls without piercing
what do haustoria do in plants?
grow into plant cell walls; allow for nutrient exchange
What are haustoria common in?
parasitic fungi and mutualistic fungi (ex. mycorrhizae)
Name the 4 parts of a mushroom.
