Fungi Lab Quiz

Front 1

Define:Hyphae

Back 1

A filament that collectively makes up the body of a fungus.

Front 2

Define: Mycelium

Back 2

The densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus.

Front 3

Define: septa

Back 3

One of the cross-wall that divide a fungal hypha into cells. Septa generally have pores large enough to allow ribosomes, mitochondria, and even nuclei to flow from cell to cell.

Front 4

Define: Plasmogamy

Back 4

The fusion of the cytoplasm of cells from two individuals; occurs as one stage of syngamy.

Front 5

Define: Karyogamy

Back 5

The fusion of nuclei of two cells, as part of syngamy.

Front 6

Define: Zygosporangium

Back 6

In zygomycete fungi, a sturdy multinucleate structure in which karyogamy and meiosis occur.

Front 7

Define: Spores

Back 7

In the life cycle of a plant or alga undergoing alternation of generations, a meiotically produced haploid cell that divides mitotically, generating a multicellular individual, the gametophyte, without fusing with another cell.

Front 8

Define:Sporangium

Back 8

A capsule in fungi and plants in which meiosis occurs and haploid spores develop.

Front 9

Define: Ascus

Back 9

(plural, asci) capsule located at the tip of the ascocarp in dikaryotic hyphae; defining feature of the Ascomycota division of fungi.

Front 10

Define: Ascocrp

Back 10

The macroscopic fruiting body of a sac fungus.

Front 11

Define: Basidia

Back 11

A reproductive appendage that produces sexual spores on the gills of mushrooms. The fungal division Basidiomycota is named for this structure.

Front 12

Define: basidiocarp

Back 12

Elaborate fruiting body of a dikaryotic mycelium of a club fungus.

Front 13

Define: meiosis

Back 13

A two-stage type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that results in cells with half the chromosome number of the original cell.

Front 14

Define: gills

Back 14

A localized extension of the body surface specialized for gas exchange.

Front 15

Define: lichen

Back 15

The mutualistic collective formed by the symbiotic association between a fungus and a photosynthetic alga.

Front 16

Define: mychorrihizae

Back 16

Mutualistic associations of plant roots and fungi.

Front 17

Define: basidiospore

Back 17

reproductive spore produced by Basidiomycete fungi

Front 18

Define: fairy rings

Back 18

naturally occurring ring or arc of mushrooms

Front 19

What products do we get from Fungi?

Back 19

Antibiotics
Bread
Alcoholic drinks
Cheese Flavor
Citric acid

Front 20
