r-selected fungi makes fruit bodies very quickly or spores, using lots of simple compounds

k-selected fungi make fruiting bodies very slowly

Question 2

what is a downside to r-selected fruting bodies

Answer 2

they aren’t stress tolerent or good fighters

Question 3

what is the optimum temperture for fungal spore prodcutino

Answer 3

5 degrees!

BUT this is the mimimum temp for fungal growth/extension

Question 4

snow mould = pyschrophile
compost = thermophile
but what is a mesophile?

Answer 4

most fungi are mesophiles 15-40 degrees (so in the MIDDLE!)

> APSERGILLUS FUMIGATIS IS A 12-52 so themotolerent mesophile ~odd one out

Question 5

how does water affect fungi phisology

Answer 5

some may be xerotolerent/phile = can live in dryness
whilst some are extrem sensitve to water

> blastotrio and chytrio mycota have aqautic flagenellated spores!

Question 6

which of these does NOT influnce fruit body development?
A light intenstiy
B temperature
C co2 conc
D gravity
E acidity
F humdity

Answer 6

acidity doenst

co2 = longer stlak snd shorter caps
humidty = short caps as less transpiration

Question 7

what are the effects of climate change on fruintg season

Answer 7

fruitng seasonis longer! starts earlier, ends later

Question 8

if one gamete is stationary, this describes
isogamy
oogamy
ansiogamy

Answer 8

OOGAMY - e.g. sperm moves but ovum is still

isogamy = same size gamtes
ansiogamy = uneven sizes gamte

Question 9
