TO NAME A FEW, THE APPEARANCE OF BLACK SPOTS ON BREAD LEFT OUTSIDE FOR SOME DAYS, THE MUSHROOMS AND THE YEAST CELLS, WHICH ARE COMMONLY USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BEER AND BREAD ARE ALSO FUNGI.
THEY ARE ALSO FOUND IN MOST SKIN INFECTIONS AND OTHER FUNGAL “
DISEASES.

Answer 2

FUNGI

Question 3

ALMOST ALL THE FUNGI HAVE A_____
EXCEPT THE YEAST CELLS.
THEY CAN BE EITHER SINGLE-CELLED OR
MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS.
FUNGI CONSIST OF LONG THREAD-LIKE
STRUCTURES
KNOWN AS____.

TOGETHER FORM A
MESH-LIKE
STRUCTURE CALLED ____

Answer 3

FILAMENTOUS structure

HYPHAE

MYCELIUM

Question 4

Traits of
Fungi

Answer 4

Fungi are eukaryotic, non vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic
organisms.
2. They may be unicellular or
filamentous.
3. They reproduce by means of spores.
4. Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of
5.
alternation of generation.
Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.
6. Fungi store their food in the form of starch.
7. Biosynthesis of chitin occurs in fungi.
8. The nuclei of the fungi are very small.
9. The fungi have no embryonic stage. They develop from the spores.
10. The mode of reproduction is sexual or asexual.
11. Some fungi are parasitic and can infect the host.
12.Fungi produce a chemical called pheromone which leads to sexual reproduction in fungi.
13. Examples include mushrooms, moulds and yeast.

Question 5

Mode
The fungi obtain their nutrition by feeding on dead organic substances.

Answer 5

Saprophytic

Question 6

Mode
The fungi obtain their nutrition by living on other living organisms (plants or animals) and absorb nutrients from their host.

Answer 6

Parasitic

Question 7

Mode
These fungi live by having an interdependent relationship with other species in which both are mutually benefited.

Answer 7

Symbiotic

Question 8

Mode
These are formed by the fusion of two different cells.
The sexual spores are known as zygospores, while the asexual spores are known as sporangiospores. The hyphae are without the

Answer 8

Zygomycetes

Question 9

Mode
They are also called sac fungi. They can be coprophilous, decomposers, parasitic or saprophytic. The sexual spores are called ascospores.
Asexual reproduction occurs by conidiospores.

Answer 9

Ascomycetes

Question 10

Mode
Mushrooms are the most commonly found
basidiomycetes and mostly live as parasites. Sexual reproduction occurs by basidiospores. Asexual
reproduction occurs by conidia, budding or fragmentation.

Answer 10

Basidiomycetes

Question 11

Mode
They are otherwise called imperfect fungi as they do not follow the regular reproduction cycle as the other fungi. They do not reproduce sexually. Asexual reproduction occurs by conidia.

Answer 11

Deuteromycetes

Question 12

REPRODUCTION IN FUNGI IS BOTH BY SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL MEANS. THE SEXUAL MODE OF REPRODUCTION IS REFERRED TO AS TELEOMORPH AND THE ASEXUAL MODE OF REPRODUCTION IS REFERRED AS _____.

VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION IN FUNGI - THIS TAKES PLACE BY BUDDING, FISSION AND FRAGMENTATION
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION -
THIS TAKES PLACE WITH THE HELP OF SPORES CALLED CONIDIA OR_____, OR SPORANGIOSPORES
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION - THIS OCCURS BY ASCOSPORES, BASIDIOSPORES, AND OOSPORES

THE CONVENTIONAL MODE OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION IS NOT ALWAYS OBSERVED IN THE KINGDOM FUNGI. IN SOME FUNGI, THE FUSION OF TWO HAPLOID HYPHAE DOES NOT RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF A DIPLOID CELL. IN SUCH CASES, THERE APPEARS AN INTERMEDIATE STAGE CALLED THE____. THIS STAGE IS FOLLOWED BY THE FORMATION OF DIPLOID CELLS.

Answer 12

ANAMORPH

ZOOSPORES

DIKARYOPHASE
