Lecture 10-Fungi Flashcards
Fungi are __________.
Eukaryotes
Fungi have cell walls made of __________.
Chitin
Fungi are closely related to __________.
Animals
Flagellated single cell ancestors diverged how long ago?
1 BYA
__________ are absorptive heterotrophs.
Fungi
Absorptive heterotrophs secrete __________.
Exoenzymes
Fungi exhibit many different lifestyles, such as:
Decomposers, parasitic, mutualistic
Fungi are _____ celled and __________.
Single-celled, multicellular
An example of a single celled fungi is __________.
Yeast
Yeasts reproduce via __________.
Asexual budding
__________ digest food outside the body.
Exoenzymes
__________ is the biggest organism in the world.
Fungus
Filamentous cells:
Hyphae
Two categories of hyphae are:
Septate and Coenocytic
This category of hyphae are fungal cells separated by porous septum. Pores allow exchange of small molecules. (E.g. Ribosomes, mitochondria, nuclei).
Septate
This category of hyphae lacks septa and has continuous cytoplasmic mass.
Coenocytic
Multicellular fungi that is a mass of hyphae. It’s the main body of fungi and persists mostly underground.
Mycelium
Multicellular fungi that is specialized hyphae that form symbiosis with: host and exchanges or extracts nutrients.
Haustoria
A host with exchanges is a __________ relationship.
Mutualistic
Type of relationship where one organism extracts nutrients from another.
Parasitic
Mutualistic haustoria associated with plant roots; improves water and nutrient uptake.
Mycorrhizae
__________ facilitated plant movement on to land.
Mycorrhizae
Parasitic haustoria associated with nematodes.
Fungus trap
Collective hyphae
Mycelium
Fungi produce spores through __________ or __________ life cycles.
Sexual or asexual
In the __________ phase of fungal reproduction, haploid mycelium produces haploid spores, which may be contained in a sporangium.
Asexual
Step 1 in the sexual phase of fungal reproduction: haploid mycelium produce __________.
Pheromones
__________ signal for potential partners.
Pheromones
Step 2 in the sexual phase of fungal reproduction: mycelia exhibit movement towards a __________ __________ of different ‘mating types’ (similar to different sexes).
Pheromone source
Step 3 in the sexual phase of fungal reproduction: __________ __________.
Mycelia join
