- Why are zygomycetes called conjugation fungi?arrow_forwardWhat is a dimorphic fungus?arrow_forwardMany fungal infections of humans are considered to be opportunistic, meaning that fungi that are normally free-living (usually in soil) can sometimes survive, and even thrive, on or inside the human body. From the fungal “point of view,” what unique challenges would be encountered when trying to survive on human skin? What about inside human lungs?arrow_forward
- How does Plasmodium reproduce. Is this method sexual or asexual?arrow_forwardFungi tend to reproduce sexually when nutrients are limited or other conditions are unfavorable, but they reproduce asexually in more ideal conditions. Why is this strategy successful? Please add a reference website, and an example if possiblearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about fungi is false?a) Fungi may cause disease when growing in or on the human body.b) Some fungi produce toxins that can kill humans.c) Fungal spores may cause allergic responses in humans.d) Systemic mycoses are common in otherwise healthy adults.arrow_forward
- Why do yeasts generally have to be cultured for longer periods than most bacteria? Can bacteriological media be used for the cultivation of molds? Explain your answer. What is the difference between vegetative and aerial mycelia? What are the three classes of antifungal drugs based on their mechanism/site of action? Describe the mode of action of each class. Name one fungal virulence factors that promote fungal colonization. Explain the mechanism. Name one fungal virulence factors that damage the host. Explain the mechanism.arrow_forwardAspergillus fumigatus may cause pulmonary mold infections in immunocompromised patients. Which of the following structures causes the tissue destruction in the patients: tissue destruction by enterotoxins tissue destruction by pseudohyphae none of the above apply tissue destruction by cysts tissue destruction by plaque formation tissue destruction by aerial hyphae tissue destruction by vegetative hyphaearrow_forwardMycorrhizal fungi form obligate symbiotic relationships within plants. They are able to fix N2 into a usable form of nitrogen. In exchange, they receive nutrition from the plant. Which of the following is a true statement concerning mycorrhizal fungi? a) Finding a host plant is not crucial to their survival. b) They are a dominant species. c) They cannot survive without the host plant. d) They are considered plant parasites.arrow_forward
- How many hosts does Schistosoma japonicum need to infect to complete a life cycle? Which life-history stage is potentially infectious to humans?arrow_forwardWhat is the public health importance of Toxoplasma, and how do humans become infected with it? What is the public health importance of Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora?arrow_forwardLichen-forming fungi are generally capable of reproducing by the production of ascospores: single-celled reproductive units small enough to be carried away on the air. What questions does this fact pose about the obligate / facultative nature of this mutualism?arrow_forward
