campbell bio Chapter 31 Fungi Flashcards

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"	...
