Fungi Flashcards
multicellularity how
ECM attaching and communication then cooperation in symbiosis
How is multicellularity beneficial: Larger/ division of labor/economy
Ancient protozoan when and what
diverged and became first fungi 1.5bya (unicellular used flagellum)
Kingdom fungi characteristics:
Multicellular/ some unicellular (hetero/auto) cell walls of chitin/use spores for reproduction
what is Mycelia
Body of fungus
Mushroom:
Reproductive organs of the fungus (fruiting bodies)
Symbiotic relationship with fungi:
Mycorrhizal fungi connect mycelium to roots of plants helping fungi to absorb more nutrients and water from soil and gives plants more glucose)
Types of Fungi
Molds:penicillium/Cladosporium/rhizopods
Yeast: humans’ friend (bread, alcohol)
Pathogenic: have adapted to feed on all sorts of organic materials and humans
Hyphae
