| A | B |
|---|
| Oomycota | Produces moltile spores and the hyphae lack cross walls |
| Zygomycota | Produces a zygospore and does sexual reproduction |
| Ascomycota | Largest phylum of Fungi and have very porous cross walls |
| Basidiomycota | Mushrooms |
| Deuteromycota | Sexual reproduction has never been observed |
| Saphrophytes | Organisms that obtain food from decaying organic matter |
| Fungi | Eukaryotic heterotrophs and decomposers |
| Asexual | Spore formation and hyphae can fragment |
| Sexual | Fertilization produces a diploid nucleus that under goes miosis |
| Lichens | Symbiotic partnership between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism |
| Ex: Ascomycota | Yeast |
| Ex: Zygomycota | Molds |
| Ex: Deuteromycota | Athletes foot |
| Ex: Oomycota | Potatoe blight |
| Yeast | Only unicellular Fungus |
| Mycelium | Mass of many hyphae interwoven |
| Hyphae | Filaments containing the inner workings of the Fungus |
| Classification | Method of reproduction and basic structure |
| Cyclosporin | Drug that suppresses immune system ex: transplant rejection |
| Phyla containing over 30,000 species | Ascomycota |
