Characteristics of a fun guy (fungi)
Name 3 of the 5 characteristics of Kingdom Fungi
Eukaryotes, Absorptive Heterotrophs, Haploid Dominant, Cell Walls of Chitin, Mostly Multicellular
This phylum contains fungi with the common name Black Bread Mold (Rhizopus), is coenocytic, and has both a sexual and asexual reproductive cycle.
Phylum Zygomycota
Fungi can produce sexually or like this, which makes use of spores to complete the cycle
Asexually
Lichen forms what type of relationship with fungus?
Symbiotic
These are the long, branching, tubular vegetative bodies of most fungi
Hyphae
This phylum forms mutualistic relationships with plants by forming arbuscular mycorrhizae that penetrates the root of the plant
Phylum Glomeromycota
The fusion of gametangium is known as this, while the fusion of haploid nuclei to form a diploid nuclei is known as something else (give both in correct order)
Plasmogamy, Karyogamy
A lichen is a relationship between what two separate organisms?
Fungus and Algae (or cyanobacteria)
Name 2 of the 3 fungal feeding modes
Saprobic, Parasitic, and Mutualistic
This phylum is made up of club fungi, puff balls, mushrooms, and toadstools. It's known for its elaborative fruiting body
Phylum Basidiomycota
Asexual reproduction produces offspring with genes that are
Genetically identical
You see a lichen while on a walk and note that it is flat, leafy like lettuce, and full of ridges and bumps. You that this lichen type is
Foliose
This is a parasitic rootlike structure seen in many fungi that grow into and around another structure to rob it of resources
Haustoria
This phylum is known as the "imperfect fungi" because scientists have not observed a sexual reproductive stage. Many are often reclassified as members of another phyla.
Phylum Deureromycota
in Bascidiomycetes, dikaryotic mycelia form a compact mass that becomes this prominent structure which has gills lined with basidia
Basidiocarps (or mushroom caps for half points)
Your favorite rock started growing a colorful crust-like lichen that is tightly pressed against the rock surface. You know from intro to bio 124 that this type of lichen is
Crustose
Cells that are not separated by a septae are known as this, where multiple nuclei are enclosed by one cell wall
Coenocytic
This phylum contains cup and sac fungi as well as yeast and is very diverse. Asexual reproduction is common in this phylum.
Phylum Ascomycota
Ascomycota form ascocarps to facillitate sexual reproduction. Name 1 of the 3 types of ascocarps
Daily Double: name all 3
Cleistothecium (has no opening and breaks open.
Perithecium (has a very narrow opening)
Apothecium (completely open)
A friend who knows you're a great Biology student brings you a lichen that is shrubby with upright cup-like structures that almost look like flowers. You know that this is what kind of lichen?
Fruticose
