sporangiophore
a fungus sporophore that produces its asexual spores within an enclosure
D
a fungus would most likely be excluded from the phylum basidiomycota if: A.)it is not a mushroom B.)it has septet cells C.)it has conidiophores D.)it produces ascophores
B
all of the following are methods of asexual reproduction in fungi except: A. budding B. fruiting bodies C. fragmentation D. spore formation
imperfect fungi
any fungi in which sexual reproduction has not been observed
septate or unicellular
ascomycota.
conidiophores
aspergillus has sporophores that produce spores that are not within an enclosure. What are these sporophores called?
various types of spores
basidiomycota has
septate
basidiomycota. septate or nonseptate
chitin
complex polysaccharide that is a component in the cell walls of fungi
lack chlorophyll, lack true tissues, cell walls contain chitin,
describe the distinguishing characteristics of fungi: lack internal digestive system, _____________________

example of zygomycota
toadstools, rusts, smuts
examples of basidiomycota: mushrooms, __________
method of sexual reproduction
fungi are grouped into phyla based primarily on
they are heterotrophic and lack tissues
fungi are not classified with the plants because ...
conidiophore
fungus sporophore that forms asexual conidia by repeated divisions at its tip and not in an enclosure

lichens are good indicators of
fungus and an alga
lichens consist of a

lichens reproduce by
ascomycota
most yeasts are placed in the phylum
mycelium
one of the hyphae in a fungal system
zygosporangium
one of the thick walled spore producing reproductive structures of molds in phylum zygomycota
symbiosis
situation in which two organisms of different species live together in close association
fruiting body
spore-producing reproductive structure of a slime mold
mycorrhizae
symbiotic relationships between fungi and plant roots
rhizopus
the common black bread mold
method of sexual reproduction
the imperfect fungi are not classified in one of the three fungal phyla because they have no known ________________
stipe
the stalk of a mushroom
mycology
the study of fungi
gill
thin spore producing membrane of certain fungi
budding
type of asexual reproduction in which portions from the parent organism or unicellular organism form a new individual
yeast
unicellular fungus from the phylum ascomycota that reproduces asexually
ergot of rye
which fungus causes St. anthony's fire, a disease that produces hallucinations and burning sensations in the arms and legs?
they function as decomposer organisms
which is the most important beneficial function of fungi
nonseptate
zygomycota. septate or nonseptate?
false
(true or false) although fungi can cause many types of skin infections, such as ringworm and athlete's food, they can never cause any life-threatening diseases
true
(true or false) most fungi carry on external digestion
