kingdom fungi is divided into 4 phyla: |
1. ascomycota 2. zygomycota 3. Basidiomycota 4. Deuteromycota |
|
which phylum accounts for about 80% of this kingdom? |
ascomycota |
|
the "sac" fungus because the ascocar, the fruiting body, looks like a sac |
ascomycota |
|
every member of this group produces a structure called an ascus in which karyogamy occurs producing the ascospores. |
ascomycota |
|
many of the imperfect fungus are a part of this phylum but we just group them as imperfect fungus because of their life cycles. |
ascomycota |
|
Lichen a relationship between a fungus and algae. symbiotic relationship "mutualistic" what phylum? |
ascomycota |
|
chestnut blight and dutch elm disease is caused by... |
ascomycota |
|
This phylum accounts for only about 1% of the kingdom |
zygomycota |
|
black bread mold genus: |
Rhizopus |
|
black bread mold grows best on |
sugary foods |
|
no septa, cell walls separating the nuclei hypha will come together and the nuclei in the both hypha will "conjoin" to form a gametangia which will produce a zygosporagium(spore holder) rather than a fruiting body. in the phylum |
zygomycota |
|
The most evolutionary advanced of the fungus phylum |
basidiomycota |
|
common toadstool is a member of the phylum |
basidiomycota |
|
the worlds oldest and largest organism known. mycelium. a mass of hypha, extends 2,200 acres in the mountains of oregon and has been growing over 8000 years. |
phylum: basidiomycota |
|
how do toadstools form a fairy ring? |
the fruiting bodies that are produced from karyogamy on the secondary mycelium will use the nutrients from the sil and from the primary mycelium |
|
why is the fairy ring formed? |
it kills off the mycelium |
|
under which phylum will you find the most poiseness mushrooms and ones that are hallucinogenic? |
Basidiomycota |
|
this fungus is called the "club" fungus because the structures found on the gills of the fruiting body look like small clubs. class |
basidia basidiomycota |
|
common toadstool, puff balls, the white angel of death, the death cap |
basidiomycota |
|
why is imperfect fungus imperfect? |
because sexual reproduction has not been observed |
|
mycologist |
scientist that study fungus |
|
some scientist believe that imperfect fungus has lost their sexual phase through what? |
evolution |
|
asexually imperfect fungus reproduce by what? |
spores |
|
asexually they reproduce by spores and many are parasitic |
imperfect fungus |
|
aspergillus on corn penicillin yeast athletes foot
|
imperfect fungus |
|
fungus must get their food from the environment which means they are |
heterotrophic |
|
what is the cell wall of fungus made up of |
chiton |
|
what is the cell wall of plants made up of |
cellulose |
|
because fungus is heterotrophic, they do not contain photosynthetic pigments such as |
chlorophylla or chlorophyll b |
|
fungi can reproduce sexually and asexually, and most do both. they do not undergo ____________. |
pollination |
|
when a small cell will break off from a larger cell and will grow into a new fungus. ex. yeast |
budding |
|
yeast, aspergillus and penicillium are under the phylum _______________. but are best to be recognized as _____________________. |
asdcomycota imperfect fungus |
|
which fungus under the phylum ascomycota are parasitic |
dutch elm and chestnut blight |
|
which phylum is truffles and morels delicacies under? |
ascomycota |
|
which phylum is reffered to as "conjugating fungus" |
zygomycota |
|
mold that grows on bread genus name |
rhizopus |
|
thick-walled reproductive sstructure formed from the fusion of the cytoplasm of the mycelia of two neighboring fungi |
zygosporangium |
|
toadstool and fairy rings phylum |
basidiomycota |
|
the primary mycelium will produce the secondary mycelium. as the secondary mycelium grows and expands, it feeds off the nutrients from the primary mycelium, leaving the cneter dead. |
fairy rings basidiomycota |
|
has the largest, organism in the world |
basidiomycota |
|
bracket fungus and puff balls are |
basidiomycota |
|
while fungus is heterotrophic, theya are also ___________ which means they are decomposers. they will literally sit on their food, secrete enzymes that breakdown their food source and then will absorb the nutrients. |
saprobic |
|
individual branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus |
hypha |
|
a mass of hypha |
mycelium |
|
each fungal cell has only one nucleus |
monokaryotic |
|
each fungal cell has two nuclei, they can be two of the smae type of nuclei or they can be two different nuclei |
dikaryotic |
|
two different nuclei per fungal cell. Remember, a fungal cell can be dikaryotic without being heteroharyotic, but herterokaryotic is DIKARYOTIC |
Heterokaryotic |
|
a mutualiatic relatiosnship between fungus and algae |
lichen |
|
the "bridge" that conneccts the Ascogonium and the Antheridium in Ascomycota during sexual reproduction |
Trichogyne |
|
there are four on the ends of basidia that release the basidiospores |
sterigma |
|
root-like structure that attaches the hypha to the substrate |
rhizoid |
|
smaller cells will break away from larger cells in some yeast |
fragmentation |
