Review Sheet #7: Fungi, Algae, and Protists Flashcards
Mycellium
A matt of hyphae
Actinomycetes
- Gram +
- High G+C content
- Bacteria that act like golgi
Exospores
Produced by asexual sporulation
Formed outside cell wall
Endospores
Formed inside cell wall
By sexual sporulation (?)

Bread mold
Spores have thick, black coats
Ascomycota
- Spores surrounded by ascus (sac)
- Yellow mold
- Morell, yeast, pombe
Chytrids
- Live underwater
- Parasites
- Flagella
Glomeromycota
- Symbiotic with plants
- Mycorhizae

Mycology
Study of Fungi
Thallus
- Form/Body of organism
- Not a phallus
Dikaryotic
- Stage of sexual reproduction
- Nuclei share cytoplasm, no fusion
5 Characteristics of Eumycota
- Eukaryote
- Saprophyte
- Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
- No photosynthesis
- Chitin in cell wall
Saprophyte
Secretes enzymes onto dead organic material, then absorbs soluble product
Coencytic Hyphae
Nuclei sharing 1 cytoplasm
