Module 18 Protists and Fungi
Across
- 1. type of hypha formed by a mold that penetrates a food's surface
- 6. sac or case in which fungal spores are produced
- 7. in sac fungi, the reproductive structure in which haploid nuclei fuse to form a zygote
- 9. organelle that collects excess water in the cytoplasm and expels it from the cell; maintains homeostasis in hypotonic environments
- 13. technique using living organisms to detoxify a polluted area
- 15. type of hypha formed by a mold that spreads over a food's surface
- 16. club-shaped, spore-producing hypha of basidiomycetes
- 17. spore-producing hypha of sac fungi
- 18. symbiotic relationship between a specialized fungus and plant roots; fungal hyphae help plants obtain water and minerals and plants supply carbohydrates and amino acids to the fungus
- 22. spore produced by an ascus
- 23. heterotrophic, unicellular, animal-like protist
- 24. reproductive life cycle that alternates between a diploid (2n) sporophyte generation and a haploid (n) gametophyte generation
- 25. temporary cytoplasmic extension that sarcodines use for feeding and movement
- 26. reproductive hyphal structure of zygomycetes that contains a haploid nucleus
Down
- 2. threadlike filament that makes up the basic structural unit of a multicellular fungus
- 3. complex, netlike mass made up of branching hyphae
- 4. reproductive haploid (n) cell with a hard outer shell that forms a new organism without the fusion of gametes and is produced in the asexual and sexual life cycles of most fungi and some other organisms
- 5. spore-producing saclike structure of sac fungi
- 8. tough, flexible polysaccharide in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans and in fungal cell walls
- 10. fruiting body of basidiomycetes
- 11. able to emit light
- 12. microscopic protozoan parasite that infects insects and other organisms, causing disease
- 14. haploid spore released by a basidium during reproduction
- 19. group of cells or organisms that join together, forming a close association
- 20. cross-wall that divides a hypha into cells
- 21. body spore-producing fungal reproductive structure
