lab3 Flashcards
mycelium
group of hyphae
the mobility of reproductive cells in fungi
non-motile reproductive cells(except chytridiomycota)
fungi digestion
saprobes that use extracellular digestion
symbionts
those that live in association with other organisms where both organisms benefit
mycorrhizae
are an association with the roots of plants
- (grow in and around the roots of plants) - (creates an environment that facilitates the uptake by the plant) - (fungi benefit by obtaining water and nutrients from the plant roots)
facts about spores (3)
waterproof
can remain dormant
germinates and grows into hyphae
Asexual reproduction in fungi occurs by
fragmentation of the mycelium or by production of asexual spores
rhizoids
attact allomyces or rhizopus to food source, short branched
sporangia have
discharge papillae through which diploid zoospores are released for asexual reproduction
amylase
digestive enzyme in rhizopus which converts starch into sugar
The dominant stage of fungi has
cell walls composed of chitin
parasite and pathogenic don’t mean the same thing
nope they don’t
How fungi battle a lack of moisture (2)
- grow within food source, using its moisture or the moisture from the environment
- produce spores when environment dries out (these spores are waterproof, can remain dormant for years)
Fungi usually only conspicuous(noticeable) when
they undergo sexual reproduction
- their sexual structures are elevated and spores released are dispersed by air currents
sexual reproduction involves
- the fusion of gametes
- produced in gametangia
- from two different mating strains
