Cards

Term
what form of reproduction do fungi use?
Definition
asexually or sexually
Term
Number of cells in a fungi?
Definition
single/multi
Term
How many phyla are in fungi Kingdom?
Definition
7 monophyletic phyla
Term
hyphae
Definition
long thin filaments in fungi, some divided other not
Term
Septa
Definition
divide a fungi's hyphae in some fungi
Term
Mycelium
Definition
a mass of connected hyphae. Digest its substrate
Term
Monokaryotic
Definition
hyphae with 1 nucleus
Term
Dikaryotic
Definition
hyphae with 2 nuclei, both genomes transcribed
Term
heterokaryotic
Definition
fungal nuclei that are genetically diff that intermingle
Term
Homokaryotic
Definition
fungal nuclei that mingle and are genetically similar
Term
What is unique about fungal mitosis?
Definition
cell division doesn't occur after mitosis the nucleus splits (only).
Term
How does sexual reproduction between fungi occur and what are possible extra products?
Definition
2 compatible haploid hyphae fuse and in some fungi fusion results in immediate diploid cell 2n and other there is a 1n+1n dikaryon stage before it
Term
What is the most common means of reproduction and how are these structures dispersed
Definition
spores made by asexual or sexual reproduction and dispersed by wind
Term
How does fungi obtain nutrition?
Definition
Fungi secretes digestive enzymes into surroundings and absorbs organic molecules produced
Term
How does a fungi's size aid its nutrition
Definition
fungi have a greater surface area than volume which helps them absorb more
Term
Microspiridia
Definition
animal parasites that are new members of the fungi kingdom and were thought to be protists. Lack mitochondria
Term
what are blastocladiomycetes and how do reproduction parts attract each other?
Definition
Uniflagellated zoospores, female gametes secrete pheromone to attract males
Term
Detailed process of fungi reproduction, sexual and asexual
Definition
sexual: mature gametophyte's male&female gametangia release haploid gametes which join to fertilize and create a sporophyte. Sporangium can then release a haploid zoospore that eventually turns into a gametophyte or can asexually reproduce w/ diploid zoospores
Term
Zygomycota
Definition
Only fungi phylum that isn't monophyletic. Produces zygote (haploid nuclei fuse=diploid)sexually into zygosporangium.
Term
Karyogamy
Definition
part of cycle after fertilization, fusion
Term
Glomeromycota
Definition
Small group of fungi. form intracellular association with plant roots can't survive without a host. no sexual reproduction.
Term
Basidiomycota
Definition
Most familiar fungi grp. Named after club shaped reproductive structure (umbrella filled with basidium).
Term
Reproductive cycle for basidiomycota
Definition
After meiosis everything is haploid.Karyogamy is 2n
Term
Reproductive cycle for basidiomycota
Definition
After meiosis everything is haploid.Karyogamy is 2n
Term
ascomycota
Definition
contains 75% of known fungi.Group with penicillin
Term
What are fungi cell walls made of?
Definition
Chitin, seen in fungi and anthropods.
Term
Dikaryon Stage
Definition
before diploid nucleus forms the stage when haploids are fusing 1n+1n
Term
What is the most common reproductive structure in fungi
Definition
spores
Term
Chytridiomycota
Definition
Fungi phylum with Flagellated zoospores
Term
Why are fungi harmful to humans?
Definition
they can cause diseases that are hard to treat b/c they are so closely related
Term
obligate symbiosis
Definition
fungal symbiosis that is essential for survival
Term
facultative symbiosis
Definition
fungus can survive without host
Term
what are the different ways living organisms can interact>
Definition
parasites has a negative affect on host, pathogens cause disease, commensal benefits one and doesnt harm other, mutualistic benefit both
