QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+

●● Chitin.
Answer: Fungi cell wall is made of it (also found in exoskeletons of
insects)


●● Glucan.
Answer: Protection/Structure in cell wall


●● Thallus.
Answer: Vegetative body of Fungus


●● Hypha/Hyphae.
Answer: Filaments of fungus (septated and coenocytic)


●● Septate.
Answer: End walls


●● Coenocytic.
Answer: Multinucleated

,●● Mycelium.
Answer: Mass of hyphae


●● Saprobes.
Answer: Decomposition of plants (mostly)


●● Mycorrhizae.
Answer: Mutualistic association between fungi and vascular plant roots


●● Lichen.
Answer: Mutualistic relationship between fungi and algae


●● Ectomycorrhizae.
Answer: Hyphae will form a sheath around plant root (mantle), hyphae
go around plant cells (hartingnet)


●● Endomycorrhizae.
Answer: Hyphae penetrate plant cells, go into cell wall not plasma
membrane, arbuscular


●● Fragmentation.
Answer: Breaking hypha (grows whole new organism)

, ●● Budding.
Answer: Unicellular- yeast- mitosis, leaves


●● Spores.
Answer: Sporangium-sporangiospores-conidiospores


●● Conidia.
Answer: Released externally from specialized hyphae called
conidiophores


●● Sporangiospores.
Answer: Developed within a sporangium


●● Plasmogamy.
Answer: Combining two cells, not nuclei- multinucleated dikaryotic cell
(two nuclei)


●● Karyogamy.
Answer: Combining two haploid nuclei (creates zygote)


●● Meiosis.
Answer: Diploid cell (2n) dividing into four haploid cells (n)
