A | B |
hyphae | hair like tubes used to absorb food |
mycelium | a bunch of hyphae tangles together to form a mat |
zygote fungus | hyphae from two different organsims meet and fuse to from a zycote fungus |
examples of zygote fungus | bread mold, rhizopus, saprophyte |
club fungus | club shaped structures that form spores |
examples of club fungus | mushrooms, puff balls, rusts, basidia |
sac fungus | do not have hyphae -has sac like structure for reproduction |
examples of sac fungus | mildew, yeast, |
lichen | fungus and algae living together neither one could survive alone |
vascular plants | have transport tubes can grow tall |
Three main structures of plants | roots, stem, leaves |
roots | abosorb nutrients, help support plant |
stem | has tranport tubes, supports plant, elevates the plant |
leaves | where photosynthesis takes place, water passes out, carbon dioxide comes in |
simple vascular plants | do not have tranport tubes, cannot grow tall, reproduce by spores |
examples of simple vascular plants | club moss, ferns |
club moss | low to the ground, carpet like |
ferns | have roots, stems and leaves but never grow very tall |
algae | forerunner to plants |
