QUESTIONS AND OUTLINED ANSWERS
\Q\.Fungi are what type of Heterotrophs? - ANSWERS✔-absorbing
\Q\.What is the main ecological role of Fungi? - ANSWERS✔-Decomposer
\Q\.What defines a Yeast? - ANSWERS✔-single celled
\Q\.What is a Hyphae? - ANSWERS✔-microscopic filaments that grow and interweave into a mat
\Q\.What is a Mycelium? - ANSWERS✔-An interwoven mat of Hyphae
\Q\.What is the Function of Mycelium? - ANSWERS✔-to absorb nutrients
\Q\.Chitin - ANSWERS✔-the strong but flexible material that the cell wall is made of
\Q\.Hyphae: Septate - ANSWERS✔-Hyphae that have cross walled (septa) that section off
portions of hyphae (almost like cell walls)
