Exploring Creation With Biology: Module 4: Kingdom Fungi

Front 1

extracellular digestion

Back 1

digestion that takes place outside of the cell

Front 2

mycelium

Back 2

the part of the fungus responsible for extracellular digestion and absorption of the digested food

Front 3

hypha

Back 3

a filament of fungal cells

Front 4

rhizoid hypha

Back 4

a hypha that is embedded in the material on which the fungus grows

Front 5

aerial hypha

Back 5

a hypha that is not embedded in the material upon which the fungus grows

Front 6

sporophore

Back 6

specialized aerial hypha that produce spores

Front 7

stolon

Back 7

an aerial hypha that asexually reproduces to make more filaments

Front 8

septate hypha

Back 8

hypha composed of individual cells separated from one another by a cell wall with a pore to allow cytoplasm to flow between cells

Front 9

nonseptate hypha

Back 9

hypha that look like one big cell with no cell walls and nuclei that are spread through the hypha

Front 10

sporangiophore

Back 10

a sporophore that forms spores within an enclosure

Front 11

conidiophore

Back 11

a sporophore that forms spores without making an enclosure

Front 12

haustorium

Back 12

a hypha of a parasitic fungus that enters the host's cells, absorbing nutrition directly from the cytoplasm

Front 13

chitin

Back 13

a chemical that provides both toughness and flexibility

Front 14

fruiting body

Back 14

forms as the result of sexual reproduction between compatible hyphae, rising out of the mycelium to release its spores

Hint 14

the cap and stalk we usually think of as the mushroom are an example of this

Front 15

basidia

Back 15

club-like structures spores are formed on in phylum Basidiomycota

Front 16

asci

Back 16

sac-like structures spores are formed in in phylum Asomycota

Front 17

zygospores

Back 17

spores formed where hyphae fuse in phylum Zygomycota

Front 18

slime molds

Back 18

parasitic and saprophytic creatures that resemble protozoa during their feeding stage and fungi when they reproduce

Front 19

Basidiomycota

Back 19

form sexual spores on club-like basidia

Front 20

Asomycota

Back 20

form sexual spores in sac-like asci

Front 21

Zygomycota

Back 21

form sexual spores where hyphae fuse

Front 22

Chytridiomycota

Back 22

form spores with flagella

Front 23

Deuteromycota

Back 23

fungi with no known method of sexual reproduction

Front 24

Myxomycota

Back 24

fungi that look like protozoa most of their lives

Front 25

basidiospores

Back 25

spores formed an basidia

Front 26

fused

Back 26

where two hyphae align themselves parallel to each other and form a small junction

Front 27

membrane

Back 27

a thin covering of tissue

Front 28

fermentation

Back 28

the anaerobic breakdown of sugars into smaller molecules

Front 29

zygospore

Back 29

a zygote surrounded by a hard protective covering

Front 30

zygote

Back 30

the result of sexual reproduction when each parent contributes half of the DNA necessary for the offspring

Front 31

antibiotic

Back 31

a chemical secreted by a living organism that kills or reduces the reproduction rate of other organisms
