WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION As you read inthis chapter, fungi have long formed symbiotic associationswith plants and with algae. In a short essay (100–150 words),describe how these two types of associations may lead toemergent properties in biological communities.
A student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work.
A-You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.
B- You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.”
C-“You have all of the information correct.”
D- All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.
Fungi have an extremely high surface-area-to-volume ratio. What is the advantage of this to an
organism that gets most of its nutrition through absorption?
O This high ratio means that fungi have a thick, fleshy structure that allows the fungi to store more of the food it
absorbs.
O The larger surface area allows for more material to be transported through the cell membrane.
O This high ratio creates more room inside the cells for additional organelles involved in absorption.
O The lower volume prevents the cells from drying out too quickly, which can interfere with absorption.

- A scientist sequences the genome of Chara, red algae, and a tomato plant. What result would support the conclusion that Charophytes should he included in the F’/amae kingdom? The Chara genome is more similar to the red algae than the tomato plant All three genomes are distinctly different The Chara genome is more similar to the tomato plant genome than the red algae genome The tomato plant genome is distinct from the red algae genome.arrow_forwardGinkgophyta Ways in which humans have affected their population or threatened their biodiversity: a)What is biodiversity and why does it matter to us?

- Both bacteria and fungi are major environmental decomposers. Obviously competition exists in any given environment, but fungi usually have an advantage. What characteristics specific to fungi provide this advantage?arrow_forwardFungi and Animals are distantly related to each other. One trait animals and fungi share however is; Both groups are immobile Both groups undergo an alternation of generations Both have heterokaryotic cells Both groups are heterotrophsarrow_forwardRead these two statements about plant-fungal interactions, then pick the statement below that is TRUE. (A) Root fungi in phylum Ascomycota can cause plants to produce antioxidants that provide protection against the stress of drought, and plants feed carbon to the fungi in their roots. (B) Root fungi and plants have evolved mutual benefits through a long history of interaction, in which fungi that provided the greatest benefits to plants had the highest fitness because of the carbon the plants fed them, and plants that supported fungi had the highest fitness because of the protection provided by the fungi. (A) is a proximate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is an ultimate cause. O (A) is an ultimate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is a proximate cause. Understanding plant-fungal interactions would NOT require cost-benefit analysis because there are no fitness trade-offs. (A) is an innate behavior and (B) is a learned behavior. O O O Oarrow_forward

- Review figure 20.5. Are fungi more closely related to animals or toplants? What characteristics do fungi share with plants? Whatcharacteristics do fungi share with animals?arrow_forwardThe Greek root endo means "within" or "internal." Why are endomycorrhizal fungi, or AM Fungi, aptly named? Select one: O a. their hyphae form tree-like branching structures inside plant root cells O b. they are mutualistic c. their hyphae form dense mats that surround roots but do not penetrate the cell walls O d. they form clamp connection that link cells togetherarrow_forwardLichens 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.arrow_forward
