|
the part of the fungus responsible for extracellular digestion and absorption of the digested food
|
|
|
hypha
|
a filament of fungal cells
|
|
|
rhizoid hypha
|
a hypha that is embedded in the material on which the fungus grows
|
|
|
aerial hypha
|
a hypha that is not embedded in the material upon which the fungus grows
|
|
|
sporophore
|
specialized aerial hypha that produce spores
|
|
|
stolon
|
an aerial hypha that asexually reproduces to make more filaments

|
|
septate hypha
|
hypha composed of individual cells separated from one another by a cell wall with a pore to allow cytoplasm to flow between cells
|
|
|
nonseptate hypha

|
a sporophore that forms spores within an enclosure

conidiophore
|
a sporophore that forms spores without making an enclosure

|
|
haustorium
|
a hypha of a parasitic fungus that enters the host's cells, absorbing nutrition directly from the cytoplasm

|
|
chitin
|
a chemical that provides both toughness and flexibility

fruiting body
|
forms as the result of sexual reproduction between compatible hyphae, rising out of the mycelium to release its spores

the anaerobic breakdown of sugars into smaller molecules
|
|
|
zygospore
|
a zygote surrounded by a hard protective covering
|
|

|
the result of sexual reproduction when each parent contributes half of the DNA necessary for the offspring
|
|
|
antibiotic
|
a chemical secreted by a living organism that kills or reduces the reproduction rate of other organisms
