|
Term
|
Definition
- (not true fungi) accellular/cellular slime molds -protozoa |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-the vegetative body of the thallophyte -used to designate somatic organization of a fungus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-eukaryotic organism, -unicellular or filamentous (hyphae, collectively mycelium) -achlorophyllous -osmotrophic, never phagotrophic -have mitochondria with flattened cristae -lack an ameboid pseudopodial stage -reproduce sexually and asexually -cell walls containing chitin and beta-glucans -flagella, when present, without retronemes -saprobic, mutualistic or parasitic -classified by sexual state |
|
|
Term
production of chitinous cell wall in fungi... |
|
Definition
"Radical Invention" 1) forced shift from phagotrophy to osmotrophy 2) enables chemotropism 3) enables translocation |

Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the collective group of hyphae |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
root-like structure -or- colony-like state |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-the hyphal tip of the parasitic fungus -absorbs the nutrients from the host |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| not differentiated cells, all functionally identical |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a compact mass of hardened mycelium, which is stored with reserve food, to remain dormant until favorable growth conditions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-the thick fluid inbetween stacks of thylakoids, grana -or- -the connective, non-functional supportive framework of a biological cell |
|
|
Term
sexual state vs. asexual state "perfect state" vs "imperfect state" |
|
Definition
*sex = perfect *asex = imperfect - because the reproduction state is never observed, and that is what is used to classify fungi |
|
|
Term
holomorph teleomorph anamorph |
|
Definition
holomorph = "whole fungus" teleomorph = sexual state anamorph = asexual state |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| union of two protoplast, w/o union of nuclei |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-the fusion of nuclei of two cells -forms diploid stage |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-occurs when karyogamy is delayed -the two nuclei cohabit |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-heterokaryosis: different strains of the same organism w/ different phenotypes, all being expressed in the same mycelium -expression of multiple phenotypes |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
1) ascospores formed inside ascus 2) basidiospores formed externally to basidium 3) zygospores formed in resistant, spherical zygosporangium 4) no sexual state known |

Definition
-asexual spores, generated through mitosis -conidiophores are the specialized stalks that bear conidia. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
(mitotic fungi) -conidia form on conidiophores |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
An association of a fungus and an alga in which the two components are so interwoven as to form what appears to be a single individual |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
association between hyphae of certain fungi and the absorbtive organs of plants |
