| 97837815 | Heterotrophs | that don't ingest, use enzymes. | |
| 97837816 | Hyphae | Filaments in the fungal body network | |
| 97837817 | Chitin | Polysaccharide that strengthens fungal cell walls. | |
| 97837818 | Mycelium | interwoven mass that infiltrates the medium. | |
| 97837819 | septa | cross walls that divide hyphae into cells. | |
| 97837820 | coenocytic fungi | lack septa, division without cytokinesis | |
| 97837821 | haustoria | specialized hyphae used to extract from host | |
| 97837822 | mycorhizae | beneficial relationship between plant and fungi | |
| 97837823 | ectomycorrhizal fungi | form sheath of hyphae over root, grow into extracellular spaces. | |
| 97837824 | arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi | extend branching hyphae through root cell wall and into tubes formed by invagination | |
| 97837825 | pheromones | sexual signaling molecules, when released, hyphae extend and fuse | |
| 97837826 | plasmogamy | union of cytoplasms of two parent mycelia | |
| 97837827 | heterokaryon | coexisting genetically different nuclei | |
| 97837828 | dikaryotic | two nuclei, one from each parent. | |
| 97837829 | karyogamy | two haploid nuclei from two parents fuse. | |
| 97837830 | spores | result from mitosis | |
| 97837831 | single celled yeasts | pinch off small "bud cells" | |
| 97837832 | dueteromycetes | have no known sexual stage | |
| 97837833 | fungi evolved from | flaggelated ancestor and are more closely related to animals than to plants. | |
| 97837834 | opisthokonts | clade of fungi, animals, and protistan relatives, flagella on posterior | |
| 97837835 | nucleariids | unicellular protists | |
| 97837836 | chytrids | have flaggelate spores (zoospores). multicellula hyphae. earliest to diverge. | |
| 97837837 | zygomycetes | food rot. | |
| 97837838 | zygosporangium | produced by plasmogamy , resistant structure where karyogamy and meiosis occur. | |
| 97837839 | glomeromycetes | arbuscular mycorrhizae | |
| 97837840 | ascomycetes | produce sexual spores in saclike asci | |
| 97837841 | asci | bear sexual stages in fruiting bodies called ascocarps | |
| 97837842 | ascocarps | fruiting bodies of ascomycetes | |
| 97837843 | conidia | asexual spores | |
| 97837844 | basidiomycetes | long live dikaryotic mmycelium | |

| 97837846 | basidiospores | sexual spores | |
| 97837847 | endophytes | fungi that live inside leaves or other plant parts without causing harm | |
| 97837848 | lichen | symbiotic association between a photosynthetic microorganism and a fungus | |
| 97837849 | soredia | small clusters of hyphae with embedded algae | |
| 97837850 | mycosis | fungal infection |
