Term
The study of Fungi is called
Definition
Mycology
Term
Fungi are Chemoheterotrphs
Definition
Term
Fungi are sapropytic which means
Definition
living off of dead or decaying organic matter
Term
Fungi are a non-photosynthetic orgasnism
Live in terrestrial habitats but there are aquatic individuals
Definition
Term
Basic Structures and terms
Definition
Eukaryote cell
Cell wall made of chitin (N-acetylgucosamine monomers)
Strict aerobe (fermenters)
Term
Thallus or Body made up of what
Definition
Made up of long filaments of cells called hyphae (mycelium)
Term
Two types of hyphae
Definition
Vegetative- the nutritive hyphae
Aerial-produces the reproductive structures
Term
Non-Filamentous Yeast
Definition
Unicellular(look like bacteria when growing on agar)
Much bigger under scope often seen budding
Term
Dimorphic Fungi
Definition
Under circumstances changes from yeast-like to producing pseudohyphae (daughter cells that fail to release from the mother cell)
Term
Representative divisions
Definition
Differentiated by how they sexually reprouce
Term
Zygomycetes
Definition
Sexual spores in a large cell ex. Mold-like Zygospores
Term
Ascomycetes:
Definition
Sexual spores produced in a enlongated sac. EX. Truffles (ascospores
Term
Basidiomycetes
Definition
Sexual Spores produced by specialized cells called basidium ex common shrooms. and yeasts Basidiospores
Term
Deuteromycetes
Definition
Sexual reproduction currently unknown and no sexually produced spores are reconized
Term
Fungi can also reproduce
Definition
Asexually cell division by (mitosis)
Term
Budding and fission (yeast)
Definition
a typical form of mitosis, cells that divide unevenly-budding or evenly-fission
Term
Asexual spores
Definition
Produced by the aerial hyphae of one organism
Term
Fragmentation
Definition
Hyphae break off and produce clones
Term
Asexual reproduction
Definition
Germination-->Mycelium-->Spore-producing structure-->spores
Term
Fungal diseases are called
Definition
Mycoses, they are often chronic and difficult to treat, spores make inhalation the most popular transmission route, produce antibiotics
Term
Economically important fungi
Definition
Are exploited by industries for food, pulp, and pesticides, responsible for destruction of forestry, fruit, veggies
Term
Protozoa are
Definition
Microscopic unicellular animals that inhabit aquatic and soil environments, and are EU cells that lack cell wall
Term
True or False Protozoa can ingest food particles and move freely about.
Definition
True
Term
T/F Under favorable conditions, protozoa exist as active forms called trophozites
Definition
True
Term
Protozoa species transform in protective bodies called...
Definition
Cysts
Term
Mastiophora
Definition
Flagellated eukaryotes
Lack mitochondria(thus cant produce atp) Strict fermenter!
Associated with intestinal tract of animals
Term
Sarcodina
Definition
Amoebas
Move by pseudopodia
Some have motile sexual stage
Term
Ciliophora
Definition
Ciliated
most develop cysts
possess macro and micro nucleus
Term
apicomplexa
Definition
Sporozoa
motility absent in most except male sex cells
life cycles are complex
in addition to trophozoite stage also
include sporozoite stage
