We know fungi are eukaryotic (have membrane-bound nucleus and organelles). Explain three unique ways fungi are different from other microbes (algae, protozoans, bacteria and archaea). Compare things like cell walls, cell membranes, morphology, reproduction, life cycles. (Words to use in your answer include chitin, cellulose, peptidoglycan, pseudopeptidoglycan, ergosterol, hopanoids, cholesterol,mycelium, hyphae, multinucleate, multicellular, unicellular, nutritional needs, environmental needs, chemoheterotrophy, saprobes, parasites, free-living, reproductive strategies, spores).

1. We know fungi are eukaryotic (have membrane-bound nuclei and organelles). Explain three unique ways fungi are different from other microbes (algae, protozoans, bacteria, and archaea). Compare cell walls, cell membranes, morphology, reproduction, and life cycles.

Algae and protozoans are loosely grouped as protists and are different from plants because they lack specific characteristics of plants. Explain what differentiates algae from plants and two ways they are different from protozoans. Talk about algae being part of our environment and how algae may positively or negatively impact our health or the environment. (Words to use in your answer: cell wall, cell membrane,…
While working in a plant disease diagnostic lab, you receive a sample of a very dead tomato plant. The plant has rotted roots and the symptoms match known fungal and oomycete diseases of tomatoes. Explain one difference between true fungi and oomycetes that you could observe to determine what type of organism is killing the tomatoes?
Lichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.
Which of the following characteristics is shared by all types of fungi? Group of answer choices heterotrophic decomposers symbiotic flagellated
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?
Like plants, fungi have ________; however, in plants they are composed of ________, whereas in fungi they are composed of ________. Question 76 options: cell walls; cellulose; chitin cell walls; phospholipids; cellulose cell membranes; phospholipids; chitin cell walls; cellulose; peptidoglycan
Match the statement with the terms -members of this phylum can produce spores through two kinds of sporangia, one of which is known as a conidium. -this phylum contains organisms that most closely resemble the common ancestor of fungi -a member of this phylum includes the mold Rhizopus stolonifer -reproduces only sexually Terms- -Zygommycota -Chytridiomycota -Glomermycota -Basidiomycota -Ascomycota
Which phyla of fungi are composed of non-septate hyphae? Enumerate four. What are the synapomorphies of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota making them sister groups? Enumerate 2. What are the differences between ascomycota and basidiomycota. Give 2 basis for differentiation.
Filamentous fungi associates with which of the following organisms to colonize the surfaces of freshly exposed rocks? -green algae -cyanobacteria -PSB and GSB -phages -yeast -diatoms
: See Figure 1 above. This picture of a yeast has been artificially colored green to help with viewing. What is potentially confusing about this color choice for a member of the fungi?
