Q

When is sexual reproduction is done in fungus?

A

Sexual reproduction is done during harsh conditions. This results in genetic diversity and it can be haploid or diploid.

Q

What is saprophytic?

A

absorbs organic nutrients from dead organisms secretes enzymes that dissolve food and absorb nutrients through cell walls they decompose and recycle dead organic matter store energy as glycogen

Q

What are symbiotic fungus?

A

Symbiotic fungus are fungus that are symbiotic with autotroph. It is a form of mutualism where they both profit.

18
Q

What are some example if symbiotic fungus?

A

Mycorrinizae and lichens are an example of symbiotic fungus.

19
Q

What are mycorrhizae, and how do they profit each other? (Fungus and plant)

A

Mycorrhizae are generally found in phylum zygomycota. They live in plant roots, and help increase the area the roots normally wouldn’t reach. The plant would profit by it by receiving more nitrogen, phosphate and ions from the fungus. Plant feed the fungus the sugar it makes.

20
Q

What are lichens? How do lichens profit?

A

Fungus partner up with a smaller autotroph and the autotroph feeds the bigger lichen the sugar it makes. Fungus provides, moisture and shelter for the autotroph . The lichens produce acids that break down rock, mainly ascomycota.

21
Q

What are some examples of lichens?

A

Some example of a lichen are crustose lichen ( which grows as a layer on surface of rocks/trees), fructicose lichens (which are shrub like) and foliose lichen (which live on flat surfaces forming mat like growths with tangled bodies.)

22
Q

What are Rhizoids?

A

Rhizoids are hypha that penetrate and anchor mood to the bread. They produce digestive enzymes and absorbs nutrients. Also they are apart of Rhizopus solonifera.

23
Q

What are stolons?

A

Stolons are hyphae that grow on surfaces of a bread. They are a part of Rhizopus Stolonifera.

24
Q

Explain the asexual reproduction cycle for Rhizopus stolonifera.

A

First there is a sporangiophore that is a specialized hypha that looks like a upright stem, on top of that is a sporangium which is the sac. Then there is a sporangiospore which is a genetically identical spores that are released and disperse by wind to become fungus.

25
Q

Explain the sexual reproduction cycle for Rhizopus stolonifera.

A

Sexual reproduction uses conjugation. The positive hype finds the negative hypha, they fuse together to form a septum at the tip. A GAMETANGIUM forms at a fusion point. The gametangium has diploid nucleus that will form a diploid zygote A zygote becomes a zypgospore/zygosporangium. Zygospore forms a hick wall and becomes different through harsh conditions. When conditions are good, it undergoes meiosis and germinates. Produces a sporangium that memes genetically different spores. Spores land to grow into new fungus.

26
Q

Explain what is a gametangium.

A

Gametangium contains a diploid nucleus that will form a diploid zygote.

27
Q

What is phylum Basidiomycota?

A

It is a club fungus. Which contains all sorts of mushrrom, taadstool and pufball. This is a undergrond hyphae, groes upwards into a Basidiocarp.

28
Q

What is a Basidiocarp?

A

The productive body of a basidiomycete. Has two parts a stalk and a cap. Underneath the cap are rows of gills.

29
Q

What are edible musrooms? Provide example?

A

Some edible musrooms are fleshy and full of nutrients. Examples are champignons agaricus (white musrooms) and puffball.

30
Q

What are poisonous musrooms?

A

poisonous musrooms are filled up with toxins and can be potentally lethal. They are usaully mistaken for an edible musroom.

31
Q

What are some mushrooms that seem to be edible but are poisonous?

A
32
Q

What are the three types of mushrooms?

A
33
Q

What are hallucinogenic mushrooms?

A
34
Q

Explain the sexual reproduction of phylum basidiomycota.

A
35
Q

What are secondary mycelia?

A
36
Q

What is phylum deuteromycota?

A
37
Q

What is phylum ascomycota? Give an example.

A

“sac fungus”

includes yeasts and molds

found in salt water and frreshwater, on land (in soil, feces, dead logs)

have sac-like compartments that produce spores

example

38
Q

Describe the asexual reproduction of ascomycota.

A

Hypha form specialized branches called conidiophores. Coni

39
Q

Describe the sexual reproduction of ascomycota?

A
40
Q

What is an ascogonium?

A

The female gametangium in sexual reproduction of ascomycota.
