In the following diagram of a black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer), identify the following structures of a multicellular fungus: mycelium, rhizoids, stolon, sporangium, sporangiophore, sporangiospores. Note: Sample fungus herein is not found in aquatic environment. Rhizopus stolonifer is a common agent of decomposition of stored foods; they are terrestrial in habitat.
We know fungi are eukaryotic (have membrane-bound nucleus and organelles). Explain three unique ways fungi are different from other microbes (algae, protozoans, bacteria and archaea). Compare things like cell walls, cell membranes, morphology, reproduction, life cycles. (Words to use in your answer include chitin, cellulose, peptidoglycan, pseudopeptidoglycan, ergosterol, hopanoids, cholesterol,mycelium, hyphae, multinucleate, multicellular, unicellular, nutritional needs, environmental needs, chemoheterotrophy, saprobes, parasites, free-living, reproductive strategies, spores).
What is the difference between the fruiting body and the mycelium of a multicellular fungus? Answers: fruiting body grows above ground; mycelium grows below ground both made of hyphae mycelium makes spores; fruiting body absorbs nutrients fruiting body grows below ground; mycelium grows above ground cell walls of mycelium contain chitin Please explain which one is correct.
Draw fungal structural (spores) are mostly indicated with PINK stain (except in Image 2). draw the Rhizopus and indicate the hyphae, zygospores, and sporangia. (Rhizopus combination) draw and indicate several hyphae, a septum, and sporangia. (Synchytrium endobioticum) draw the lichen indicating the asci (pink) in the cup of the mycelium (blue) (Lichen ascocarps)

Use the Internet to find examples of chytrids, zygomycetes,ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes that cause diseases in plants oranimals. How does each fungus infect a host and spread to new hosts?What can humans do to fight each disease? What are the costs andbenefits of doing so?
Health professionals refer to fungal skin diseases as "“tineas" and name them according to the region affected. Fungal skin diseases are persistent, in part, because fungi can penetrate deeper layers of skin than can ointments and creams. There are fewer antifungal drugs than ones, and antifungals often have more severe side effects. Reflect on the evolutionary relationships among bacteria, fungi, and humans. 1. List 5 different "Tineas" to show the connection between the name and the body parts affected from them. 2. Are fungi unicellular or multicellular organism? 3. Why it is harder to fight fungi than bacteria? 4. Why antifungals have more severe side effects?
Describe two ways in which fungal spores arise. Septatae vs aseptatae hyphae
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.
