| 896094808 | zoospores | have four flagella, germinate to form gametophytes, released when the waters of an incoming tide wet the thalli, swim away from the light | 20 | |
| 896094809 | zygomycetes | a fungal group that is not very pathogenic; complex life cycle consisted on sexual and asexual fungal groups...fungi spend most of their time as haploids; black bread mold; | 21 | |
