Bio. Fungi (Ch.24)

Front 1

fungi

Back 1

(fungus) type of eukaryotic heterotroph; can be multicelled or single-celled; cell walls contain chitin; obtains nutrients by extracellular digestion and absorption

Front 2

hyphae

Back 2

of a multi-celled fungus, a filament having chitin-reinforced walls; component of a mycelium

Front 3

mycelium

Back 3

(mycelia) mesh of tiny, branching, food-absorbing filaments (hyphae) of a multi-celled fungi

Front 4

chytrids

Back 4

a type of fungus, the only fungal group with a flagellated stage

Front 5

zygote fungi

Back 5

fungal group; sexual spores are produced in a zygospore that forms after hyphae of opposite mating types meet and fuse; (ex. black bread mold)

Front 6

microsporidians

Back 6

intracellular fungal parasite of aquatic habitats; only fungal group that forms flagellated spores

Front 7

glomeromycetes

Back 7

member of a fungal group that forms mycorrhizae in which hyphae branch inside a plant cell

Front 8

sac fungi

Back 8

fungus that produces sexual spores in sac-shaped cells

Front 9

club fungi

Back 9

fungus that produces sexual spores in a club-shaped cell; most familiar mushrooms

Front 10

endophytic fungi

Back 10

one of the fungi that lives as a symbiont inside plant leaves and stems

Front 11

mutualism

Back 11

an interspecific interaction that benefits both participants

Front 12

lichen

Back 12

symbiotic association between a fungus and a photo-autotroph-- an algae or cyano-bacterium

Front 13

mycorrhiza

Back 13

'fungus-root'. a mutualism between a fungus and plant roots
