Fungi Flashcards
two parts of fungi
mycelium - root”
fruitung body: mushrooms
mycelium
increase the surface of the fungus manifold (consisting of hyphae
hypha
a long branching strture in fungi main mode of vegetative growth
2 forms of hyphae
septate hyphae: have cross wall allow for quick movement
Coenocyticc: no septa , are like long tube
Yeasts
unicellular fungi
aesexual reporduction via budding
alcholoic fermentation
glucose is converted into ethanopol and carbon dioxide by enzamic activity of yeast cells
fungi
a group of eukaryotic organisms that include micro organisms
closer related to animals than plants
are heteroptrohts and eat by dissolving molecules
Main groups are
churro
micro
asymocota and basisomya - dikarya
chytridiomycota
feed on decayin matter and produce zoospores that are capable of active movemtn through water
dikarya
fungi with 2 haploid nuclei in their cells
Asomycota
biggest groupn of fungi
dont produve mushrrom
plamnt pathogens
basidiomycota
mushroom
repoduce sexually
basiospore
mychoiriza
is a symbiotic association between fungus and a plant
fungus gives water and minerals
plant gives carbs
endo michoiriz
cells enter plant adn grow internally
ecto mychoriza
do not penterate plant cells but produce sheath around root
lichen
is a composite organism that arises from algae living in mycelium - mutual symbiosis
