This is the study of Fungi
Mycology
Fungi constitute an extremely diverse group of organisms and are generally classified as________________
Molds or yeasts
Fungi’s They are prokaryotic
False, they are eukaryotic
Fungi’s They have no nuclei and mitochondria
False, they have a nuclei and mitochondria
Fungi’s They are not heterotrophs
False, they are heterotrophs
Fungi’s They do photosynthesis and have a chlorophyl
False, they do not photosynthesis and chlorophyl
Fungi’s They depend on other organisms to survive
True
Fungi’s They are multicellular
True
Fungi’s They can move on their own
False, They cannot move on their own
This is a species of yeast. It is perhaps the most useful yeast, having been instrumental to winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
This is olive green and thrives on plants in particular, but can also grow on household surfaces like walls, cabinets, and carpets.
Cladosporium
This is the mold that typically grows on spoiled food like bread. It can also grow on nutrient-poor but moisture-rich environments like the basement.
Aspergillus
Is famous for its antibacterial properties and is usually bluish-green. However, it can also emits mycotoxins that are toxic to both people and pets. They prefer colder environments like soil, but some also form on wet items in the home
Penicillium
The plant body of the true fungi
thallus
Most fungi are multicellular and are composed of long filaments
Hyphae
All hyphae in a particular fungus from an interwoven mass
Mycelium
This is above ground, reproductive structure produced by fungi
Fruiting body
What are the three types of Mycelium?
Vegetative, Aerial, and Fertile
This is a type of Mycelium that penetrate the surface of the medium and absorb nutrients.
Vegetative Mycelium
This is a type of Mycelium that grow above the agar surface
Aerial Mycelium
This is a type of Mycelium that bear reproductive structures such as conidia or sporangia.
Fertile Mycelium
A fungi that possess melanin pigments in their cell wall
Phaeoid
Those hyphae that do not possess any pigment in their cell wall
Hyaline
The fungi obtain their nutrition by feeding on dead organic substances
Saprophytic
