campbell bio Chapter 31 Fungi Flashcards

723388686	yeasts	Single-celled fungus. Reproduce asexually by binary fission or by the pinching of small buds off a parent cell.
723388687	hyphae	One of many connected filaments that collectively make up the mycelium of a fungus.
723388688	chitin	A structural polysaccharide, consisting of amino sugar monomers, found in many fungal walls and in the exoskeletons of all arthropods.
723388689	mycelium	The densely branched network of hyphae in a fungus. Increases surface area thus aiding it in absorption of nutrients
723388690	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.
723388691	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.
723388692	haustoria	In certain symbiotic fungi, a specialized hypha that can penetrate the tissues of host organisms.
723388693	mycorrhizae	myco= fungi rhizae= root (symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots)
723388694	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.
723388695	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).
723388696	spores	A haploid cell, produced either sexually or asexually, that produces mycelium after germination.
723388697	plasmogamy	, the fusion of cytoplasm of cell from two individuals
723388698	karyogamy	fusion of nuclei
723388699	molds	Informal term for a fungus that grows as a filamentous fungus, producing haploid spores by mitosis and forming a visible mycelium.
723388700	deuteromycetes	Traditional classification for a fungus with no known sexual stage.
723388701	zygomycetes	"bread mold" mostly asexual (stable enviorment) can be sexual when enviorment is unstable
723388702	zygosporangium	SEXUAL multinucleate structure in which karyogamy and meiosis to occur..... ASEXUAL produces spores which grow into hyphae.
723388703	Ascomycetes	Member of the fungal phylum Ascomycota, commonly called sac fungus. The name comes from the saclike structure in which the spores develop.
723388704	asci	A sacklike spore capsule loacated at the tip of a dikaryotic hypha of a sac fungus.
723388705	ascocarps	The fruiting body of a sac fungus (ascomycete)
723388706	basidiomycetes	Member of the fungal phylum Basidomycota, commonly called club fungus. The name comes from the club-like shape of the basidium.
723388707	basidium	A reproductive appendage that produces sexual sores on the gills of mushrooms (club fungi)
723388708	basidiocarps	Elaborate fruiting body of a dikaryotic mycelium of a club fungus
723388709	endophytes	A fungus that lives inside a leaf or other plant without causing harm to the plant.
723388710	lichen	The MUTUALISTIC association between a fungus and any photosynthetic organims
723388711	mycosis	General term for a fungal infection.
723388712	Fungi are ALWAYS	Heterotrophic
723388713	parasitic fungi ex	histoplasmosis aka splunkers lung (from bat and bird SH!T) cadiditis (from candidia alberticans OPPERTUNISITC infection aka thrush)
723388714	parasitic fungi ex	athletes foot, ringworm, jock itch all the same guy trichophyton
723388715	Fungi are also competition for	Bacteria, they make anit biotics (penicillin )
723388716	drugs that end in "statin"	...
