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.
Both Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes form ectomycorrhizal associations with plants. Another group of fungi, the Glomeromycota, form endomycorrhizal partnerships. Which answer below best describes the two pictures seen here? (Hint: mycorrhizae stain reddish-purple!) Picture A 400x (c.s.) Picture B 400x (c.s.)

In a culture of hyphae of unknown origin, you notice that the hyphae lack septa and that the fungi reproduce asexually by using clumps of erect stalks. However, at times sexual reproduction can be observed. To what group of fungi would you assign it?a. Chytridiomycotab. Basidiomycotac. Ascomycotad. Zygomycota

Endomycorrhizal fungal hyphae form a dense mantle ensheathing roots. 4. Ectomycorrhizae are found in many crop plants such as wheat and maize. 5.

Find the large nucleus located near the cell. Make several outline drawings to illustrate the successive changes of 1. shape of the amoeba. Make drawings of the Amoeba you observe, and label its structures. C O O liko mer 0 AS 6 0 O Paramecium -- Paramecia are quite large, straw-colored, slipper-shaped and move rapidly, and they are thus very noticeable. If there are Paramecia in your field of view you probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even "escape" the coverslip at its edges. The trick to slowing the Paramecia is to mix a drop of methyl cellulose with a drop of the cell culture, as…
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 have an extremely high surface-area-to-volume ratio. What is the advantage of this to an 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 food it 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 typ e URL %23 %2$ % & 3 4 5 8 E R Y F G H. K ト
