Fungi - Molds and Yeasts Questions
Basic mycology concept: Saprophytic fungi obtain nutrition primarily by which mechanism?
Fungal cell biology check: Which structure is NOT associated with true fungi?
Fungal wall composition: In the cell walls of a mushroom (a basidiomycete), how does the amount of peptidoglycan compare with the amount of chitin?
Evolutionary biology: Fossil and molecular evidence suggests the earliest emergence of multicellularity occurred in which traditional kingdom?
Ascomycete structures: Ascospores contained within sac-like asci are housed in which fruiting body?
Asexual spores in fungi: Which of the following are examples of asexual reproductive spores?
Systematic mycology: Which organism listed is NOT a member of the division Ascomycota (sac fungi)?
Mycology classification – identifying water molds In general microbiology and plant pathology, “water molds” are placed in which modern taxonomic division or group?
Terminology in microbiology and botany – meaning of “achlorophyllous” In organism descriptions, the term “achlorophyllous” refers to what characteristic?
Fungal morphology – the fruiting body of a typical mushroom In macroscopic fungi such as gilled mushrooms and bracket fungi, what is the technical name for the fruiting body that bears the sexual spore producing structures?
Sexual reproduction in fungi – producers of ascospores in an ascus Which fungal group characteristically produces ascospores enclosed within sac like asci during the sexual stage?
Fungal membranes – what feature differentiates fungi from many other eukaryotic microbes? Which component is characteristic of fungal cell membranes and helps distinguish fungi from many other eukaryotic microbes in clinical pharmacology and diagnostics?
Hyphal anatomy – name for fungi that lack septa Fungal filaments sometimes lack cross walls that partition the hyphae. What is the term for such non septate, continuous hyphae?
Fungal reproduction – which of the following are sexual spores? Considering the major spore types used in fungal classification, which options represent sexual spores formed during meiosis?
Symbioses – fungus with a cyanobacterium What is the term for a stable mutualistic association composed of a fungal partner and a cyanobacterial partner living as a single thallus?
Black bread mold Rhizopus – characteristic spore types Which combination lists the characteristic spore types found in the life cycle of the black bread mold Rhizopus, including both asexual and sexual stages?
Motile spores of water molds – correct term Water molds are known for producing flagellated motile spores during part of the life cycle. What is the correct term for these motile spores?
Yeast bioenergetics in the alcohol industry: In industrial brewing and winemaking, Saccharomyces cells convert pyruvic acid (from glycolysis) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethyl alcohol (ethanol). What is the name of this metabolic process that proceeds under anaerobic conditions?
Fungal taxonomy in food and environmental microbiology: Edible and wild mushrooms (the typical toadstool forms with gills or pores) are placed in which fungal division (phylum)?
Core physiology of fungi: Which statement correctly describes a defining nutritional strategy of true fungi (kingdom Fungi) relevant to medical and environmental microbiology?
