Question 3

Lichens are an important component in many ecosystems because they ____.​

Accepted Answer

Lichens contribute to soil formation by secreting acids that break down rocks, which is crucial for ecosystem development.

Question 4

Most fungi provide an important ecological service by being ____.​

Accepted Answer

Most fungi play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers. They break down dead organic material, recycling nutrients back into the soil, which is vital for the health of ecosystems.

Question 5

Club fungi spend most of their lives as ____ mycelium.​

Accepted Answer

Club fungi, which belong to the phylum Basidiomycota, spend most of their life cycle in the dikaryotic phase, where cells contain two genetically distinct nuclei (n + n). This phase is characteristic of their life cycle, following the fusion of two haploid mycelia and preceding the formation of diploid spores through sexual reproduction.

Question 16

Baker's yeast, which causes dough to rise, contains spores of a ____.​

Accepted Answer

Baker's yeast is a type of sac fungus, scientifically known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sac fungi are known for their production of spores in sac-like structures called asci.

Question 17

When the haploid hyphae of two different club fungus individuals fuse, which nuclear condition (known as ploidy) is produced?

Accepted Answer

When the haploid hyphae of two different club fungus individuals fuse, they form a dikaryotic condition, represented as n+n, where two distinct nuclei coexist in the same cell without fusing immediately.

Question 18

Which are single-celled fungi?​

Accepted Answer

Yeasts are single-celled fungi, distinct from molds, club fungi, sac fungi, and mildews, which are typically multicellular.

Question 19

The oldest fungal fossils resemble ____, a group of modern fungi.​

Accepted Answer

The oldest fungal fossils resemble chytrids, which are a group of modern fungi characterized by their production of motile spores. This suggests an aquatic origin for fungi, as chytrids are primarily found in water.

Question 20

Many soil fungi take part in a mutualistic relationship with plant roots, known as _____.​

Accepted Answer

Mycorrhiza refers to the mutualistic relationship between soil fungi and plant roots, where the fungi enhance nutrient and water absorption for the plant, and in return, the plant supplies the fungi with carbohydrates.
