| 729821581 | yeasts | Single-celled fungus. Reproduce asexually by binary fission or by the pinching of small buds off a parent cell. | |
| 729821582 | hyphae | One of many connected filaments that collectively make up the mycelium of a fungus. | |
| 729821583 | chitin | A structural polysaccharide, consisting of amino sugar monomers, found in many fungal walls and in the exoskeletons of all arthropods. | |
| 729821584 | mycelium | The densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus. Increases surface area thus aiding it in absorption of nutrients | |
| 729821585 | septa | One of the cross -walls that divide fungal hypha into cells. Generally have pores large enough to allow ribosomes, mitochondria, and even nuclei to flow from cell to cell. | |
| 729821586 | coenocytic fungi | A fungus that lacks septa and hence whose body is made up of a continuous cytoplasmic mass that may contain hundreds or thousands of nuclei. | |
| 729821587 | haustoria | In certain symbiotic fungi, a specialized hypha that can penetrate the tissues of host organisms. | |
| 729821588 | mycorrhizae | myco= fungi rhizae= root (symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots) | |
| 729821589 | Ectomycorrhizal fungi | Association of a fungus with a plant root system in which the fungus surrounds the roots but does not cause invagination of the host (plant) cells' plasma membranes. | |
| 729821590 | Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi | A symbiotic fungus whose hyphae grow through the cell wall of plant roots and extend into the root cell (enclosed in tubes formed by invagination of the root cell plasma membrane). | |
| 729821591 | spores | A haploid cell, produced either sexually or asexually, that produces mycelium after germination. | |
| 729821592 | plasmogamy | , the fusion of cytoplasm of cell from two individuals | |
| 729821593 | karyogamy | fusion of nuclei | |
| 729821594 | molds | Informal term for a fungus that grows as a filamentous fungus, producing haploid spores by mitosis and forming a visible mycelium. | |
| 729821595 | deuteromycetes | Traditional classification for a fungus with no known sexual stage. | |
| 729821596 | zygomycetes | "bread mold" mostly asexual (stable enviorment) can be sexual when enviorment is unstable | |
| 729821597 | zygosporangium | SEXUAL multinucleate structure in which karyogamy and meiosis to occur..... ASEXUAL produces spores which grow into hyphae. | |
| 729821598 | Ascomycetes | Member of the fungal phylum Ascomycota, commonly called sac fungus. The name comes from the saclike structure in which the spores develop. | |
| 729821599 | asci | A sacklike spore capsule loacated at the tip of a dikaryotic hypha of a sac fungus. | |
| 729821600 | ascocarps | The fruiting body of a sac fungus (ascomycete) | |
| 729821601 | basidiomycetes | Member of the fungal phylum Basidomycota, commonly called club fungus. The name comes from the club-like shape of the basidium. | |
| 729821602 | basidium | A reproductive appendage that produces sexual sores on the gills of mushrooms (club fungi) | |
| 729821603 | basidiocarps | Elaborate fruiting body of a dikaryotic mycelium of a club fungus | |
| 729821604 | endophytes | A fungus that lives inside a leaf or other plant without causing harm to the plant. | |
| 729821605 | lichen | The MUTUALISTIC association between a fungus and any photosynthetic organims | |
| 729821606 | mycosis | General term for a fungal infection. | |
| 729821607 | Fungi are ALWAYS | Heterotrophic | |
| 729821608 | parasitic fungi ex | histoplasmosis aka splunkers lung (from bat and bird SH!T) cadiditis (from candidia alberticans OPPERTUNISITC infection aka thrush) | |
| 729821609 | parasitic fungi ex | athletes foot, ringworm, jock itch all the same guy trichophyton | |
| 729821610 | Fungi are also competition for | Bacteria, they make anit biotics (penicillin ) | |
| 729821611 | drugs that end in "statin" | ... |
