Fungi
This is the structural component of fungi cell walls
Chitin
These are rapidly growing, asexually
reproducing fungi
Molds
These are the common shapes/structures of Prokaryotes
Spheres (cocci), rods (bacilli), and helices (spirilla,
spirochetes)
These are organisms that need oxygen to survive
Obligate aerobes
The symbiotic relationship as best exemplified by the association of photosynthetic bacteria and fugal hyphae to form a lichen
Mutualism
This is released by fungi to allow for reproduction
Spores
These are unicellular and reside in liquid or moist habitats
Yeasts
This is the sticky substance that forms another protective layer
Capsule or slime layer
These are organisms that need the absence of oxygen to survive
Obligate anearobes
A unicellular fungus that under anaerobic conditions ferments sugars to alcohol and CO2
Yeast
These are tubular walls that surround plasma
membranes and cytoplasm
Hyphae
This is the symbiotic relationship shared by a fungus and photosynthetic species
Lichens
This is the building block of the bacterial cell wall (sugars cross-linked with amino acids)
Peptidoglycan
These are organisms that can survive with or without oxygen
Facultative anaerobes
In addition to peptidoglycan, the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria also contain
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)
This is the interwoven structure formed by hyphae
Mycelium
This is the mutualistic association of plant
roots and fungi
Mycorrhizae
This is the prokaryote that inhibits cross-link formation, which interferes with cell wall function
Penicillin
These are organisms that utilize light energy to produce chemical energy for survival
Photoautotrophs
The stage in the sexual life cycle of fungi that involves the fusion of haploid nuclei
Karyogamy
These are the two distinct stages of the fungal sexual life cycle in which fusion occurs
Plasmogamy and karyogamy
This is the fungal parasite in animal's that can be the cause of athlete’s foot, ringworm, and lung disease
Mycosis
These are useful for surviving long-term harsh environmental conditions
Endospores
These are organisms that utilize energy strictly from their environment to survive
Chemoheterotrophs
The absorptive nutrition of fungi is aided by
The large surface area provided by the mycelium
