Mushrooms,

Environmental toxins.

Biodegradation. (fungi as decomposers)

Disease,

Question 4

Biodegradation

Answer 4

Biodegradation (/.e. biological lysis) is very important and useful process carried out by fungi in which they work as decomposer degrading dead animals in the soil, therefore naturally helping in recycling of all organic

Answer 8

multicellular

Question 9

yeast definition

Answer 9

unicellular fungi which reproduce asexually by blastocoidie for formation ( budding )

Question 10

dimorphism definition

Answer 10

is condition where fungi exhibit either the yeasts or hyphae from depending on growth condition

Question 11

why kokcedious is non infectious

Answer 11

dimorphism is source of infections is always the environment not the infected person

Question 12

Hyphae definition

Answer 12

mulitcellular fungi which reproduce both asexually and sexually

Question 13

psedohyphae

Answer 13

elongation of buds forming an appearance like hyphae

Question 14

nucleus definition

Answer 14

enclosed by a defined nuclear membrane

Question 15

endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 15

is a network of membrane bound channels

Question 16

Golgi apparatus

Answer 16

is a forms vesicles which fuse with the cell membrane i and release enclosed protein in the surrounding medium

Question 17

plasm membrane

Answer 17

composed of glycoproteins , lipids and ergosterol which enclosed the entire protoplasm

Question 18

mitochondria

Answer 18

• respiratory electron transport
• cytoskeleton containing actin microtubels

hlep in cell membrane functions
role in manitaing cell shape formation

mitotic spindel

Question 19

cell wall

Answer 19

1. complex multilayered structrue outside PM constites 90 % of dry W
2. chitin is polymer acetyl glucosmine

Question 20

filamentous fungi

Answer 20

chitin is biosynthesized at growing tip of hyphae and conrtolled by enzyme called synthetase

Question 21

capsule

Answer 21

1. isolate fungi from the environment
2. acts as transport medium between outside and cell content

Question 22

molds definition

Answer 22

multicellular fungi grow as hyphae or mycelium

Question 23

mycelium is

Answer 23

mass of hyphae

Question 24

caps form

Answer 24

1. • bag like structure
2. unmbrella structure

Question 25

stalk

Answer 25

a long cylinder filaments

Question 26

filaments

Answer 26

cells that make up the entire of fungal body , they form dense network together

Question 27

the cells of multicellular ______ into______________called_____

Answer 27

arranged branching threadlike tube hyphae

Question 28

hyphae functions :

Answer 28

1. absorbing nutrients from surrounding 2. have a cytoplasm and few orgaenlles 3. have nuclei thus have the genetic material of funge locked in hyphae

Question 29

yeast form

Answer 29

compact , creamy , mucoid or pasty colonies

Question 30
