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

Q

Examples of fungi

A
  • Puffballs
  • yeasts
  • 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
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

25
Identify Types of Asexual Reproduction - production of spores by a single mycelium
Asexual Spores
26
Fungi does this method of reproduction when conditions are poor and nutrients are scarce
Sexual Reproduction
27
- Adaptation to life on land - ensure species will disperse to new locations - contains reproductive cell that forms new organism - Nonmotile - dispersed by wind
Spores
28
Spores are formed where
- directly in hyphae - inside sporangia - on fruiting bodies
29
modified hyphae that make asexual spores
Fruiting Bodies
30
upright stalk that supports the spore case or sporangium
Sporangiosphore
31
the spore case of fungi
Sporangium
32
Major groups of fungi
- Basidiomycota - Zygomycota - Chytridiomycota - AM Fungi - Ascomycota - Lichens
33
Identify which of the Major groups of fungi this belongs to - Club Fungi
Basidiomycota
34
Identify which of the Major groups of fungi this belongs to - Bread Molds
Zygomycota
35
Identify which of the Major groups of fungi this belongs to - Chytrids
Chytridiomycota
36
Identify which of the Major groups of fungi this belongs to - Mycorrhizas
AM Fungi
37
Identify which of the Major groups of fungi this belongs to - Sac Fungi
Ascomycota
38
Identify which of the Major groups of fungi this belongs to - Symbiosis (algae and fungi)
Lichens
39
Beneficial effects of Fungi
- Decomposition - Biosynthetic factories - Model for biochemical and genetic studies - Production of vitamin - Hormone Production - Edible - Production of Insecticides
40
Harmful Effects of Fungi
- Destruction of food, lumber, paper, and cloth - Plant diseases - Animal Diseases - Human Diseases including allergies - Toxins of poisonous mushrooms - Pathogenic - Parasitic
