Five Features of Fungi
Fungi must obtain food from their environment
What are heterotrophs?
These are the majority of the fungi, they produce enzymes
What are hyphae?
This is the study of mushrooms
What is Mycology?
The 'life' of the cell
Although fungi can reproduce sexually they lack
What are genders?
Much like roots fungi develop a network
What are hyphae?
What is the stem?
These fungi do not perfectly fit into an established category
What are imperfect fungi?
The two major 'chunks' of the cell cycle
What are interphase and mitosis?
These are the waterproof reproductive cells of fungi
What is a spore?
It would be like if we 'lost our lunch' on our lunch before we ate our lunch
Also called the volva, this structure is located on the bottom of the stem
What is the cup?
These fungi produce spores via a basidium
What are club fungi?
What is interphase?
The method of reproduction for yeasts
What is budding?
This means has a nucleus
What does Eukaryotic mean?
This is the top 'part' of the mushroom
What is the cap?
These fungi produce spores via an ascus
What are sac fungi?
The splitting of cytoplasm
What is cytokinesis?
This is the most common type of yeast, often what we are referring to when we say yeast
What is Baker's Yeast?
The method most fungi prefer to reproduce with
What are spores?
This structure can be seen on the underside of the cap
What are the gills?
These fungi produce spores via a sporangium
What are zygote fungi?
This process of cell division is split into four parts
What is mitosis?
When DNA is packaged up tight and 'ready for travel'
What is a chromosome?
