23
Q

diseases that is responsible for the worldwide decline in amphibian populations, immunocompromises their skin barrier

A

chytridiomycosis

24
Q

digest plan biomass in mammalian herbivore rumens (mammal depends on fungi for sufficient calories), spores have multiple flagella

A

neocallimastigamycota

25
Q

tiny group, form intracellular association with plan roots called arbuscular mycorrhizae, no evidence of sexual reproduction

A

glomeromycota

26
Q

very diverse, include common bread molds, lack septae, most of their life cycle is haploid

A

zygomycota

27
Q

hyphae produce specialized sporangia (releases haploid spores)

A

asexual reproduction

28
Q

hyphae produce specialized gametangia, two haploid gametangia merge to form a diploid zygosporangium, haploid spores are released

A

sexual reproduction

29
Q

include some of the most familiar fungi, mushrooms, puffballs, and jelly fungi, include plant pathogens such as rusts and smuts

A

basidiomycota

30
Q

spore germination leads to the production of haploid mycelium, mycelium may fuse results in fertilization, now dikaryotic, basidiocarps form

A

basidiomycota life cycle

31
Q

dikaryotic basidiocarp has hundreds of ____________ in each gill, club shaped sexual reproductive structure, karyogamy occurs within the basidium and meiosis follows, four haploid basidiospores result

A

basidia

32
Q

contain about 75% of the known fungi, include bread yeasts, common molds, and penicillum, cup fungi and morels/truffels

A

ascomycota

33
Q

__________ are unicellular ascomycetes

A

yeasts (produce asexually by budding)

34
Q

yeasts can ferment carbohydrates as they break down glucose into ___________ and ___________.

A

ethanol and CO2

35
Q

saccharomyces cerevisiae is the organism used to make ____________, _________, and __________.

A

beer, wine and bread

36
Q

occurs through haploid conidia formed at the end of hyphae, grow new hapolid hyphae

A

asexual reproduction in ascomycota

37
Q

the ___________ is the spore distributing structure for ascomycota

A

ascocarp (dikaryotic)

38
Q

asci undergo __________ and eight haploid ascospores result

A

karyogamy

39
Q

fungi and bacteria are principal decomposers, capable of decomposing cellulose and lignin, have different _________ which indicate relationship with another organism

A

symbiosis

40
Q

benefit at the expense of their host

A

pathogens and parasites

41
Q

benefit one partner but do not harm or benefit the other

A

commensals

42
Q

have relationship that benefit both of the partners

A

mutualists

43
Q

essential for fungus to survive

A

obligate symbiosis

44
Q

nonessential but positive

A

facultative symbiosis

45
Q

live in the intercellular spaces inside plants, protect their hosts by producing toxins, example is the Italian rye plant that battle the aphids

A

endophytic fungi (mutualistic relationship)

46
Q

are symbiotic associations between a fungus and a photosynthetic partner, invaded harshest habitats, have pigments

A

lichens (mutualistic)

47
Q

mutualistic relationship between fungi and plants, different from endophytes because they live in roots, help the plant take up water and get to live within the tough roots

A

mycorrhizae

48
Q

hyphae penetrate the root cell wall, 70% of mycorrhizal species, fungal partners are glomeromycetes

A

arbuscular mycorrhizae

49
Q

hyphae surround but do not penetrate the root cells, most hosts are forest trees, fungal partners are mostly basidiomycetes

A

ectomycorrhizae

50
Q

fungi also have _____________ with animals, ruminant animals host fungi in their gut, example is the Leaf cutter ants

A

mutual smybioses

51
Q

____________ is the worlds largest organism, infect trees

A

Armillaria

52
Q

fungi can spoil food products that have been harvested and stored, some fungi secrete ________ that make food poisonous

A

toxins

53

A

human diseases
