Fungi Flashcards
(20 cards)
thread-like structures of fungi that make up the fungal body
hyphae
spores produced by fungi in a sac-like structure called an ascus
ascospores
thick-walled strucutre formed by the fusion of two specialized ells in certain fungi, serving as survival structure
oospore
specialized structures in some fungi that help ensure the proper distribuion of genetic material during cell division
clamp connections
types of asexual spore produced by fungi that can be dispersed to start new fungal growth
conidium
male reproductive structure in certain fungi that produces sperm-like cells
antheridium
small, flask-shaped structure in some fungi that contains spores
pycnidium
divisions in mushroom’s hyphae
septate
vegetative part of fungus, consistin of network of branching, thread-like hyphae
mycelium
transparent, clear, or glass-like in appearance
hyaline
flask-shaped structure in certain fungi that containes the spore-producing asci
perithecium
motile spore that can move by means of a flagellum
zoospore
sac-like structure in which the spores of certain fungi are produced
ascus
produces female reproductive cells called oospores
oogonium
type of hyphae in fungi that lack septa or crosswalls, resulting in a multinucleate and continuous cytoplasmic mass
coenocytic
large-sized asexual spores produced by some fungi, typically for dispersal
macroconidia
small-sized asexual spores produced by some fungi, often involved in initial stages of fungal reproduction
microconidia
thick-walled resting spores produced by fungi, allowing them to survive under adverse conditions
chlamydospores
structure in which spores are formed, often found in fungi and some plants
sporangium
Sexual and asexual spores motile, with posterior flagella
Chytridiomycota
