False. HYPHAE are THREADLIKE TUBES that make up multicellular fungi
Term
All fungi are multicellular.
Definition
False. Yeasts are UNICELLULAR.
Term
All fungi are heterotrophs.
Definition
TRUE
Term
Most fungi reproduce by regeneration.
Definition
False. Most fungi reproduce by SPORES.
Term
Yeast produces oxygen that helps bread dough rise.
Definition
False. Yeast produces CARBON DIOXIDE.
Term
The gill is the stem like part of a mushroom.
Definition
False. STALK is the stemlike part. The gills are underneath the cap (look like combs).
Term
Lichen is made up of fungus and moss.
Definition
False. Lichens are made up of FUNGUS and an ALGA. Lichens are F-reaking A-wesome
Term
Yeasts reproduce via binary fission.
Definition
False. Yeasts reproduce via BUDDING.
Term
Yeasts are slime molds.
Definition
False. Yeasts are fungi.
Term
Hyphae absorb water.
Definition
False. Hyphae PRODUCE ENZYMES.
Term
Fungi do not have chlorophyll and cannot perform __________________.
Definition
PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Fungi do NOT HAVE CHLOROPHYLL, therefore they cannot create their own food via photosynthesis
Term
Reproductive cells covered in a protective cell wall are called __________________.
Definition
SPORES
Term
_________________ produce the reproductive cells or spores in a fungus.
Definition
FRUITING BODIES
Term
An organism that obtains its food from the remains of dead organisms is called a ___________________.
Definition
DECOMPOSER
Term
Organisms that can make their own food are called (1)_________________ while organisms that can NOT make their own food are called (2) ____________________.
Definition
1)AUTOTROPHS 2)HETEROTROPHS
Term
A relationship between organisms in which at least one organism benefits is called ___________________.
Definition
Symbiosis
Term
Most fungi are ____________ cellular.
Definition
MULTI.
Term
The top of a mushroom looks like an umbrella and is called the __________________.
Definition
CAP
Term
A _____________ is a single celled organism that is used to make bread rise.
Definition
YEAST
Term
______________ are fuzzy, shapeless, flat fungi that grow on the surface of an object.
Definition
MOLDS
Term
Be able to label the different parts of a mushroom.
Definition
A) Gill b)Spore c)Cap d)Stalk
Term
What structure on a mushroom produces new organisms?
Definition
SPORES
Term
What must a fruiting body do in order to release spores?
Definition
Open
Term
What are 3 characteristics of fungi?
Definition
Heterotrophs, No chlorophyll, Mostly Multicellular, Hyphae, Spores and fruiting bodies , Any combination of these
Term
Why are decomposers important?
Definition
Because without them dead animals and plants would litter the earth. Remember decomposers break down dead plant and animal matter.
Term
How do lichens display symbiosis? What does each part provide to the other?
Definition
A lichen is made up of a FUNGUS and an ALGA. Fungus-provides water and minerals to the alga. ALGA-provides the fungus with food
Term
Why are fungi heterotrophic?
Definition
Heterotrophs eat other organisms. Fungi DO NOT HAVE CHLOROPHYLL, so Fungi must do this because they can’t make their own food.
