Fungi - Answer-Kingdom composed of heterotrophs -Eukaryotic - devoid of chlorophyll - obtains nutrition through absorption -typically reproduces through spores Number of fungal species estimation - Answer-approx 1.5 million Septum - Answer-cross wall cytoplasm organelles cross through Hyphae - Answer-The branching, threadlike tubes that make up the bodies of multicellular fungi - Blastocladiomycota -zygomycota -zoopagomycota -ascomycota -basidiomycota Mycellium - Answer-ma...

What is the primary ecological function of fungi? - Answer-degradation The characteristic cell of fungi that grows via polarized growth is the - Answer-hypha You encounter a species of fungi you do not immediately recognize. If you were to attempt to sexually cross this fungus with another known fungus to determine its species, you would be using this concept to identify it: - Answer-biological species concept Within its cell wall a true fungus has this characteristic molecule: - Answer...

Mycology - Answer-the study of fungi Fungus - Answer-a eukaryotic, heterotrophic organism, devoid of chlorophyll, with chitin in cell walls, that obtains its nutrients by absorption, usually reproduces by spores and usually exhibits a pronounced polarization of growing cells Eukaryotic - Answer-cell with a distinct nucleus Prokaryotic - Answer-cell with no nucleus, genetic material is free-floating Mycelium - Answer-collection of hyphae Hyphae - Answer-collectively comprise myceli...

transmembrane proteins : Covalently associated proteins spanning bilayer Carrier protein : Transmembrane; moves molecules across membrane against a concentration gradient Spindle Pole Body : Microtubule cluster that directs nuclear division in fungi, as an alternative to centrosomes (animals) Spitzenkorper : Dense cluster of vesicles at the hyphal tip, involved in chitin synthesis as the chitosome (clusters of microvesicles), along with other cell wall polymer synthesis. It is also en...
