| 977075558 | Exoenzymes | Powerful hydrolytic enzymes fungi secrete to break down food into particles that the fungi can absorb | 0 | |
| 977075559 | Saprobes | Fungi decomposers | 1 | |
| 977075560 | Hyphae | Network of tiny filaments composed of tubular cell walls; can be separated by septa or be coenocytic | 2 | |
| 977075561 | Chitin | Flexible and strong nitrogen-containing polysaccharide found in fungal cell wall | 3 | |
| 977075562 | Mycelium | Mass of interwoven hyphae; grows rapidly to make up for non-motility. | 4 | |
| 977075563 | Septa | "Walls" with pores that divide the hyphae into multiple cell compartments; they have pores large enough to allow ribosomes, mitochondria, and nuclei to flow from cell to cell | 5 | |
| 977075564 | Coenocytic | Fungi with a continuous cytoplasmic mass. They have no septa and are similar to plasmodial slime molds. | 6 | |
| 977075565 | Mycorrhizae | Mutually beneficial relationships between plant roots and fungi; helps with the absorption of nutrients | 7 | |
| 977075566 | Ectomycorrhizal fungi | Mycorrhizae plants that form sheaths of hyphae over the surface of a root | 8 | |
| 977075567 | Endomycorrhizal fungi | Mycorrhizae plants that have the hyphae (one example is haustoria) penetrate the plant root | 9 | |
| 977075568 | Pheromones | Sexual signaling molecules that allow fungi reproduce | 10 | |
| 977075569 | Plasmogamy | Union of cytoplasm of two parent mycelia; primary form of sexual reproduction in fungi | 11 | |
| 977075570 | Heterokaryon | A mycelium that has different nuclei; this phenomenon occurs when plasmogamy occurs. Some haploid cells fuse together right away, while others stay far away from each other. The result is multiple nuclei | 12 | |
| 977075571 | Dikaryotic | Fungi with two haploid nuclei | 13 | |
| 977075572 | Karyogamy | When fungi nuclei fuse together; this is the only stage in which diploidy exists in most fungi. | 14 | |
| 977075573 | Mold | Fungi that can reproduce asexually | 15 | |
| 977075574 | Yeasts | Asexual fungi that live in moist or liquid environments; one example is yeast. | 16 | |
| 977075575 | Deuteromycetes | A.k.a imperfect fungi; Fungi with no sexual stage. (Perfect refers to the sexual stages of plants/fungi; it is a botanical term) | 17 | |
| 977075576 | Opisthokonts | Members of the clade Opisthokonta. Consists of fungi, animals, and protistan relatives. | 18 | |
| 977075577 | zoospores | Flagellated spores | 19 | |
| 977075578 | Zygomycetes | Phylum Zygomycota; fungi responsible for rotting molds of food. Example: Rhizopus stolonifer | 20 | |
| 977075579 | Zygosporangium | Structure that forms as a result of plasmogamy in Zygomycetes | 21 | |
| 977075580 | Glomeromycetes | Phylum Glomeromyceta; have arbuscular mycorrhizae, which is when the tips of hyphae branch into treelike structures know as arbuscules. 90% of all plants have such symbiotic partnerships with glomeromycetes | 22 | |
| 977075581 | Ascomycetes | Phylum Ascomycota; produce sexaul spores in saclike asci. A.k.a. Sac fungi | 23 | |
| 977075582 | Asci | Sacs in which spores are produced in Ascomycetes | 24 | |
| 977075583 | Ascocarps | Fruiting bodies of Ascomycetes | 25 | |
| 977075584 | Conidia | Asexual fungi spores of Ascomycetes | 26 | |
| 977075585 | Basidiomycetes | Phylum Basidiomycota; has a diploid stage called basidium. A.k.a. club fungus | 27 | |
| 977075586 | Basidiocarps | Elaborate fruiting bodies of basidiomycetes. A mash room is an example of one | 28 | |
| 977075587 | Lichens | Fungus-Photosynthetic organism hybrid. Usually microorganisms held in mass of hyphae | 29 | |
| 977075588 | Soredia | Small bundles of hyphae with embedded algae | 30 | |
| 977075589 | Mycosis | Fungal infection that parasitize humans; example is ringworm. | 31 | |
| 977075590 | Ergots | Purple structures found on rye as a result of fungal infection | 32 | |
| 977075591 | Saccharomyces cerevisiae | Important yeast fungi for baking and brewing | 33 | |
| 977075592 | Penicillium | Ascomycete fungi that makes penicillin | 34 | |
| 977075593 | Phanerochaete chrysosporium | White rot; helps digest wood | 35 |
