Procedure 1: Rhizopus Structure and Life Cycle Black bread mold, Rhizopus, is a typical example of division Zygomycota. It has a complex life cycle involving both sexual and asexual structures. A diagam of the life cycle is shown in Figure 11.2. 1. Study Figure 11.2 and locate the following structures: a. Mycelium: the network of filaments or hyphae. b. Sporangium: the capsule that produces spores, located at the end of the upward-growing Sporangiophore; site of asexual spore formation. c. Gametangia: thickened structure that grows at the tip of two hyphae that have grown towards each other; the two gametangia fuse to form the zygote. d. Zygospore: the thick, black protective coat that forms around the zygote; site of sexual spore formation. 84 Kingdom Fungi Exercise 11 ygospore, spores asexual fertation gametes IN sporangium diploide haploid sexual + strain + strain hyphae strain -strain — sporangium spores 20 germination of rygospore Drawing of Rhizopus structures sporangium sporangiophore gametangia mycelium Figure 11.2.

Fungi

Fungi can be single-celled or complex multicellular creatures. They are found in pretty much any natural surroundings; however, they generally live on the land, principally in soil or plant material instead of in the ocean or water. Fungi are the members of the group called the decomposers that live off dead and decaying matters. Fungi assume a significant part in the carbon cycle and its different components. They act as a parasite by causing illnesses like rusts, scabs, or ulcers. In crops, contagious illnesses can prompt critical money-related misfortune for the rancher. An exceptionally modest number of growths cause illnesses in creatures. In people, these incorporate skin illnesses such as competitors' feet, ringworm, and thrush.
