Concept explainers

Fungi

Fungi can be single-celled or complex multicellular creatures. They are found in pretty much any natural surroundings; however, they generally live on the land, principally in soil or plant material instead of in the ocean or water. Fungi are the members of the group called the decomposers that live off dead and decaying matters. Fungi assume a significant part in the carbon cycle and its different components. They act as a parasite by causing illnesses like rusts, scabs, or ulcers. In crops, contagious illnesses can prompt critical money-related misfortune for the rancher. An exceptionally modest number of growths cause illnesses in creatures. In people, these incorporate skin illnesses such as competitors' feet, ringworm, and thrush.

Question

Fungi Imperfecti or Deuteromycota:
(a) Do not have complete hyphae
(b) Do not form hyphae
(c) Have no observed sexual stage
(d) Cannot form conidia
(e) Only form antheridia

Definition Definition Diverse group of organisms that primarily obtain nutrients through absorption. They range from single-celled yeasts to complex multi-cellular structures such as mushrooms. Fungi play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers, plant symbionts, and even pathogens. They also have practical uses in medicine, food production, and industry.

Question: If you encountered an unknown fungus, and found that it only had dikaryon cells inside resistant sporangia and did not have any multicellular dikaryon stage, what would you identify this fungus as? Select one: a. Ascomycete b. Chytrid c. Basidiomycete d. Zygomycete e. Glomeromycete
Which of the following best describes Basidiomycota? A. The vast majority of spores formed are asexual. B. Spores line up in a sac in the order they were formed by meiosis. C. Monokaryotic hyphae fuse to grow into a heterokaryotic mycelium. D. No sexual stage has been found.
Chitin cell walls, absorptive and chemoheterotrophic metabolism, and a fleshy thallus (body) with a large cap (eg: mushrooom) -- that produces sexual spores atop a "pedestal" or "Club-like" structure after plasmogomy and karyogamy -- are members of Division a. Phaeophyta b. Rhodophyta c. Basidiomycota d. Oomycota e. Ascomycota f. Zygomycota
A hypothesized evolutionary advantage to asexual reproduction in fungi is that: -It allows them to form resting spores -It protects their genes from mutation -It allows them to avoid phages -It allows them to grow quickly when nutrient levels are rich
Algae are autotrophs and can have photosynthesis, however, evolutionary evidence suggests that plants shared a common ancestor with only green algae and are closest relatives of Charophytes. What evidences support this statement? How an algal cell is different from fungal cells, even if both are eukaryotes? Why slime mold is a protist not a fungus even if it does not have chloroplast?

Fungi and animals are both part of a group called Opisthokonta. The vast majority of fungi are multicellular. However, their sister taxon consists of unicellular species. Animals also are multicellular and their closest relatives are again unicellular. Briefly describe the two hypotheses that could explain the origin of multicellularity in the Opisthokonta, and then explain which of the two is the more likely hypothesis
The reproductive structure of some fungi, including those in the phylum Basidiomycota, are called a: Question 15 options: Coenocytic hyphae Septated hyphae Mycelium Mushroom
The prtists that causes malaria evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor and has the remnant of a chloroplast. The organelle no longer functions in photosynthesis, but it remains essential to the protist. Why might targeting this organelle yield an antimalarial drug that produces minimal side effects in humans?
