Bio 1500 - Lab 3 Quiz (Mizzou-Bush)
1. domain of Fungi?: Eukarya
2. what are some characteristics of Fungi?: -mostly multicellular
-all heterotrophic
-strong tissues
-cell walls contain chitin
3. what are the single celled Fungi called?: yeast
4. a strong, flexible polysaccharide inside the fungal cell walls: chitin
5. branched filaments that compose the body of a fungus: hyphae
6. a net-like mesh in which the hyphae are fused into: mycelium
7. how do fungi get their food if they're heterotrophic?: -exoenzymes
-mycelium increases surface area to volume ratio to increase absorbance strength
-decomposers
8. how can a fungi reproduce?: sexually or asexually
1/4
, 9. how does a fungi reproduce sexually?: -by the fragmentation of hyphae with each fragment
forming a new mycelium
-by hyphae differentiating into sporangia that produce spores
10. how does a fungi reproduce asexually?: -by the fusion of gametes or specialized reproductive
hyphae
11. which mold did the first antibiotic come from?: Penicillium
12. the most conspicuous examples of the mutualistic relationship between a
fungus and a cyanobaterium: lichens
13. where can lichens grows typically?: on tree bark, rocks, or bare ground
14. the ability to grow on bare rock: pioneer plants
15. where are lichens the most common?: volcanoes, high mountains, Arctic, Antarctic
16. why can't fungi ingest food particles?: because of their chitinous cell walls
