Q

Characteristics of Fungi

A
  • Fungi are not plants
  • Nonphotosynthetic
  • Eukaryotes
  • Nonmotile
  • Most saprobes
  • absorptive heterotrophs
  • store food energy as glycogen
  • important decomposers and recyclers of nutrients
  • most are multicellular except yeast
  • lack true roots, stems, or leaves
  • can be edible
  • can be poisonous
  • some are external or external parasites
  • few act like predators and capture prey like round worms
  • produce both sexual and asexual pores
  • classified by sexual reproductive structures
  • environments

  • mushrooms
  • toadstools
  • rust
  • smuts
  • ringworm
  • molds
18
Q

what fungi is used to make antibiotic penicillin

A

Penicillium mold

19
Q
  • ecologically active bodies of fungi
  • extensive feeding web of hyphae
  • have huge surface area which aids in digestion and absorbtion
A

Mycelia

20
Q

Two ways Fungi reproduce

A

Asexually and Sexually

21
Q

Most common method of reproduction and produces genitically identical organisms

A

Asexual Reproduction

22
Q

Three types of Asexual Reproduction

A
  1. Fragmentation
  2. Budding
  3. Asexual Spores
23
Q

Identify Types of Asexual Reproduction
- part of the mycelium separates and begins a life of its own

A

Fragmentation

24
Q

Identify Types of Asexual Reproduction
- small cell forms and gets pinched off as it grows to full size
- this method is done by yeasts

A

Budding

25
Q

Identify Types of Asexual Reproduction
- production of spores by a single mycelium

A

Asexual Spores

26
Q

Fungi does this method of reproduction when conditions are poor and nutrients are scarce

A

Sexual Reproduction

27
Q
  • Adaptation to life on land
  • ensure species will disperse to new locations
  • contains reproductive cell that forms new organism
  • Nonmotile
  • dispersed by wind
A

Spores

28
Q

Spores are formed where

A
  • directly in hyphae
  • inside sporangia
  • on fruiting bodies
29
Q

modified hyphae that make asexual spores

A

Fruiting Bodies

30
Q

upright stalk that supports the spore case or sporangium

A

Sporangiosphore

31
Q

the spore case of fungi

A

Sporangium

32
