an ascomycete and a photosynthetic algae/cyanobacteria |
|
how do lichens reproduce |
asexually by releasing fragments
|
|
What is a protozoan, and why isn't it classified an animal? |
Protozoa are a diverse group of mostly motile unicellular eukaryotic organisms. They are restricted to moist or aquatic habitats and are unicellular and therefore are not animals (animals are multicellular). |
|
How is the slime mold Physarum adapted to environments that havefew resources? |
They undergo sexual reproduction and produce spores that can remain in the environment. Also, they perform cytoplasmic streaming so they can move to a new environment. |
|
How do fungi obtain nutrients? |
Extracellular digestions/absorption |
|
How are hyphae related to mycelia? |
Mycelia are a collection of hyphae |
|
observation of ascomycota |
spores held in long chains |

|
observation of basidiomycota |

|
true or false syngamy and karyogamy refer to the same process |
true |
|
true or false a zygote results from syngamy |
true |
|
A zygospore resulting from syngamy is haploid or diploid |
diploid |
|
What is the difference betweendikaryotic and diploid cells? |
Dikaryotic cells have two distinct nuclei, each with a haploid (single) set of chromosomes; a diploid cell has one nucleus with a diploid (double set of chromosomes). |
|
What is the advantage of havingan algae or fungus in a lichen? Whatcould each organism contribute to the partnership? |
Algae conduct photosynthesis and produce an energy-rich carbon source, (i.e., glucose) while fungus/algae are provided a habitat and possible protection from predators. |
