UPDATED Questions with 100% Verified Answers
Q1: Supergroup Opisthokonta
A: monophyletic
flagellated cells with a single posterior flagella
Kingdom Fungi and Animalia
Fungi, Porifera, Choanoflagellates, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Chordata, Nematoda,
Arthropoda, Platyhelminthes, Mollusca
Q2: Kingdom Fungi
A: eukaryotic, mainly multicellular organisms
absorptive heterotrophs: obtain energy from organic carbon by absorption
mycelium: mass of hyphae that complete the feeding network of the fungus
hyphae may have cross-walls (septa) to separate nuclei and cytoplasm between cells or
lack cross-walls (aseptae)
fruiting bodies: the sexual reproductive structures that emerge from the substrate;
produce spores that disperse to produce mycelium
form mutualistic symbioses with plants
90% of plants have mycorrhizae
increase water and mineral absorption
Q3: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Zygomycota
A: produce sexual zygotes
opposite mating types of hyphae come together to produce zygosporangia
have aseuxal and sexual reproduction methods
not a monophyletic group
Q4: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Zygomycota - Rhizopus stonifer
(Bread Mold)
A: rhizoid hyphae: penetrate the bread for absorption of nutrients
stolon hyphae: connect groups of rhizoids and sporangium, usually on the surface
sporangiophores: stand upright and hold a sporangium at their tips
asexual spores develop in the sporangium and release to spread to other surfaces
,Q5: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Ascomycota
A: produce asci, which produce sexual ascospores
sac fungi
reproduce asexually through spore formation or sexually through ascospore formation
Q6: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Ascomycota - Yeasts
A: unicellular fungus
divide by budding or binary fission
Candida albicans
can shift between multicellular (mold) and unicellular growth states
causes yeast vaginitis and thrush
used for baking bread and brewing beer
Q7: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Ascomycota - Sordaria fimicola
A:
Q8: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Ascomycota - Peziza sp.
A:
, Q9: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Basidiomycota
A: produce basidia, which produce sexual basidiospores
produced in the basidium
each basidium has 4 basidiospores
fruiting bodies are mushrooms
gills bear basidia which are the sexual reproductive structures
Q10: Kingdom Fungi - Phylum Basidiomycota - Bracket Fungus
A:
Q11: Kingdom Fungi - Lichens
A: composite organisms consisting of symbiotic relationship between Ascomycota fungi
and cyanobacteria or green algae
Q12: Kingdom Fungi - Lichens - Crustose Lichens
A: flat and adhere tightly to the surface of rocks and tree bark
