sexual fungal reproduction - Answer 1. plasmogamy 2. heterokaryotic mycelium 3. karyogamy heterokaryotic mycelium - Answer cells contain 2 haploid nuclei from parent (n+n) karyogamy - Answer fusion of nuclei from parents (2n) three domains of life - Answer bacteria, archaea, eukarya methods of gene exchange for bacteria - Answer 1. transformation 2. conjugation 3. transduction transduction - Answer -viruses/bacteriophages help to pass genetic information -r...

The Primary role of Fungi Decomposers- they break things down Modes of Nutrition in Fungi Heterotrophs with extracellular digestion Exoenzymes Fungi Release these enzymes outside of the cell wall. Break down complex molecules into smaller organic molecules which can be absorbed. Extracellular Digestion The release of exoenzymes out side of the cell wall, followed by the absorption of nutrients.. Saprobes Fungi that feed on non-living/dead organisms Symbionts Fungus that lives with another...

How do fungi use absorptive heterotrophy? Correct Answer-Fungi secrete hydrolytic enzymes into their surrounds that break down complex molecules to smaller organic compounds that the fungi can absorb into their bodies and use. Other types of fungi use enzymes to penetrate the walls of cells, enabling the fungi to absorb nutrients from the cells. What are hyphae? Correct Answer-Multicellular fungi typically form a network of tiny filaments called hyphae. Hyphae consist of tubular cell walls su...

First fossils of fungi date ______ mya 460 Which organisms are the closest relatives of fungi? Animals What 2 growth forms of fungi exist? Yeasts and mycelia Yeasts Single celled What three characteristics do fungi share? 1. Eukaryotes 2. spores to reproduce 3. heterotrophs Mycelia Multicellular, filamentous strands, absorb nutrients Components of mycelium Hyphae Septa Coenocytic Hyphae Explain why mycelia are interpreted as an an adaptation to the absorptive life style Be...

Mold Assessment (FL) - Answer-A process performed by a mold assessor that includes the physical sampling and detailed evaluation of data obtained from a building history and inspection to formulate an initial hypothesis about the origin, identity, location and extent of amplification of mold growth greater than 10 square feet. Mold Remediation (FL) - Answer-The removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition or other treatment, including preventative activities, of mold or mold-contaminated matte...

how does the fungi get food? - the hyphae secretes powerful exoenzymes into the environment that break down complex molecules into simple organic compounds characteristics of plants? - -Domain: Eukarya -Kingdom: Plantae -multicellular -autotrophic -cell walls contain cellulose domain of Fungi? - Eukarya what are some characteristics of Fungi? - -mostly multicellular -all heterotrophic -strong tissues -cell walls contain chitin what are the single celled Fungi called? - yeast a stron...

Fungi: 3 major morphological groups CORRECT ANSWER 1. Multicellular filamentous molds -old food/classic fungus 2. Multicellular fruiting body formers -Fruiting bodies = Mushrooms (fungus is in the soil) 3. Yeasts -single celled Unique properties of Fungus: Cell wall CORRECT ANSWER Thematically similar to bacteria & archaea but contain differences eg: -Chitin: protein; insect shells are made of this -Mixed glycans: similar to peptidoglycan but in a dif order Can also secrete gl...

Kingdom Fungi Answer> decomposers, contain no chlorophyll (non photosynthetic, majority are multicellular, some unicellular, non-motile, cell walls contained chitin, and reproduce sexually and asexually multicellular fungi Answer> molds and mushrooms unicellular fungi Answer> yeast asexual reproduction Answer> reproduction through spores sexual reproduction Answer> reproduction through mating of hyphae filaments Mycelium Answer> distinctive body; composed of micr...

Microbiology Question and answers correctly solved Fungi Cells Eukaryotic internal organelles Cell walls = complex carbs / Chitin + Glucan + Mannose protein - Glucan is a Pharm target for Fungi - Also contain Ergosterol Yeast Single-celled fungi Replicate by budding Buds = Blastoconidia Tested for using: Morphology and Biochem - API 20C AUX / DNA Techniques Monomorphic Filamentous Fungi (Mold) Fungi with Hyphae (filamentous cells) - Cluster of Hyphae = Mycelium - Septate H...

Kingdom Fungi - decomposers, contain no chlorophyll (non photosynthetic, majority are multicellular, some unicellular, non-motile, cell walls contained chitin, and reproduce sexually and asexually multicellular fungi - molds and mushrooms unicellular fungi - yeast asexual reproduction - reproduction through spores sexual reproduction - reproduction through mating of hyphae filaments Mycelium - distinctive body; composed of microscopic, branched filaments known as hyphae.
