Front (Question)

Alga that infects potato crops

Back (Answer)

Phytophthora infestans

Front (Question)

• are chemoheterotrophs, requiring organic compounds for energy and carbon

Back (Answer)

[Kingdom] Fungi

Front (Question)

Study of Fungi

Back (Answer)

Mycology

Front (Question)

Importance of Fungi

Back (Answer)

-Recycle vital elements -Produce Cellulase to decompose hard parts of plants -Symbiotic with plants [e.g. Mycorrhizae] -Food (Mushrooms, Breads, Citric acid), and Drugs (Alcohol and Penicillin)

Front (Question)

Characteristic of Fungi

Back (Answer)

-Chemoheterotroph -Multicellular [except yeast] -Unicellular, Filamentous, and Fleshy -Produce Sexual and Asexual Spores -Sterols present in Cell membrane -Chitin cell wall

Front (Question)

Multicellular fungi are identified on the basis of:

Back (Answer)

-Physical Property -Colony Characteristics -Reproductive Spores

Front (Question)

Characteristics of Fungi according to [Vegetative Structures]

Back (Answer)

-Moldy and Fleshy -Yeast -Dimorphic Fungi

Front (Question)

body of a mold or fleshy fungus

Back (Answer)

Thallus

Front (Question)

Long filaments joined together with the thallus

Back (Answer)

Hyphae/Hypha

#10

Front (Question)

Hyphae containing cross-walls; which divide then into distinct uninucleate cell like units

Back (Answer)

Septate hyphae

#11

Front (Question)

Hyphae that does not contain septa, and appear as a long continuous cell with many nuclei

Back (Answer)

Coenocytic hyphae

#12

Front (Question)

Filamentous mass of Hyphae

Back (Answer)

Mycelium

#13

Front (Question)

The portion of a hypha that obtains nutrients

Back (Answer)

Vegetative hypha

#14

Front (Question)

non-filamentous, unicellular fungi that are typically spherical or oval.

Back (Answer)

Yeast

#15

Front (Question)

Yeast dividing unevenly [E.g., Saccharomyces]

Back (Answer)

Budding yeast

#16

Front (Question)

Yeast dividing evenly/symmetrically [E.g., Schizosaccharomyces]

Back (Answer)

Fission Yeast

#17

Front (Question)

Exhibit Fungal Dimorphism—two forms of growth (Can grow either Mold or Yeast)

Back (Answer)

Dimorphic Fungi

#18

Front (Question)

Dimorphism in pathogenic fungi is temperature-dependent: -at 37°C, the fungus is [a], and -at 25°C, it is [b]

Back (Answer)

[a] Yeastlike [b] moldlike

#19

Front (Question)

Dimorphism dependent on CO2 concentration.

Back (Answer)

Mucor indicus

#20

Front (Question)

Allow a bacterial cell to survive adverse environnemental

Back (Answer)

Bacterial endospore

#21

Front (Question)

Forms a spore, that detaches from the parent and germinates into a new mold.

Back (Answer)

Fungal spore

#22

Front (Question)

Formed by the hyphae of one organism. When these spores germinate, they become organisms that are genetically identical to the parent.

Back (Answer)

Asexual Spores

#23

Front (Question)

Result from the fusion of nuclei from two opposite mating strains of the same species of fungus.

Back (Answer)

Sexual Spores

#24

Front (Question)

Types of Asexual Spores

Back (Answer)

Conidiospores (Conidium) -Arthroconidia -Blastoconidia -Chlamydoconidia Sporangiospore (Sporangium)
