Fungi have an extremely high surface-area-to-volume ratio. What is the advantage of this to ar 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 fo 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. MacBook Pro G Search or type URL

The hyphae of fungi provide these advantages (select all that apply). O Provide large surface area to volume ratio Allow for better searching to find food The mycelium is not sensitive to dry conditions They can withstand cold and hot temperatures in certain species The mycelium can be as large as 3.4 miles in one individual O O
Which of the following statements is FALSE about fungi? O A Fungi can be either heterotrophic or autotrophic. O B Septa are divisions between fungal cells with small pores that allow cytoplasm to flow between the cells. O C Fungal cells walls contain chitin, which is the same material found insect exoskeletons. D The fungi and the choanoflagellates are part of a group called the Opisthokonts. O E All fungi are part of a single monophyletic group.
Fungi play an important role in the breakdown of cellulose into its component simple sugars. What simple sugar is the final product of these reactions?
How can ascomycetes be distinguished from basidiomycetes?a. Ascomycete hyphae have simple pores in their septa and lack clampconnections, whereas basidiomycete hyphae display complex septalpores and clamp connections.b. Ascomycetes produce sexual spores in sacs, whereasbasidiomycetes produce sexual spores on the surfaces of clubshaped structures.c. Ascomycetes are commonly found in lichens, whereasbasidiomycetes are less commonly partners in lichen associations.d. Ascomycetes are not commonly mycorrhizal partners, butbasidiomycetes are commonly present in mycorrhizal associations.e. All of the above are correct.
Mycorrhizal fungi live in the soil and interact with the roots of plants. Essentail nutrients (e.g. nitrogenous compounds) are taken from the soil by the fungi and transferred to the plant roots. The fungi extract carbohydrates from the plant roots. What type of interaction is occurring?
The symbiotic association between plant root and fungi is known as: O mycorrihiza O hyphae O actinomycetes O rhizobium
Fungal cells do not produce cell wall. O False O True
Both animals and fungi are heterotrophic. What distinguishes animal heterotrophy from fungal heterotrophy is that most animals derive their nutrition by . O using enzymes to digest their food preying on animals O ingesting it O consuming living, rather than dead, prey
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?
Do you think multicellular fungi use diffusion, or use bulk flow, to transport O2 and CO2? Why do you think so?
Fungi are filamentous with the exception of "X" which isunicellular. Identify X.(a) Yeast (b) Albugo(c) Mucor (d) Lichen Please try to break the solutions into as many steps as practically possible and the steps should come one by one and they should be short and crisp and plagiarism-free.
As noted in Section 46.7, mycorrhizal fungi help prevent carbon in the soil from escaping into the atmosphere. These fungi also benefit a host plant by providing it with a share of the phosphorus and nitrogen that their hyphae take up from soil. Most crop plants are capable of forming a relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, if any are present in the soil. Some people have suggested that inoculating soil with fungal spores could help reduce the use of industrially produced fertilizer. What are some potential advantages of using fungi, rather than chemical fertilizers, to enhance plant growth?
