- Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes. Discuss and explain the terrestrialization of fungi.arrow_forwardMany fungal infections of humans are considered to be opportunistic, meaning that fungi that are normally free-living (usually in soil) can sometimes survive, and even thrive, on or inside the human body. From the fungal “point of view,” what unique challenges would be encountered when trying to survive on human skin?

- In a culture of hyphae of unknown origin, you notice that the hyphae lack septa and that the fungi reproduce asexually by using clumps of erect stalks. However, at times sexual reproduction can be observed. To what group of fungi would you assign it?a. Chytridiomycotab. Basidiomycotac. Ascomycotad. Zygomycotaarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is false about the fungi? they are eukaryotes they are heterotrophs they possess a purely cellulosic cell wall none of the abovearrow_forwardHealth professionals refer to fungal skin diseases as “tineas” and name them according to the region affected (TABLE 23.1). Fungal skin diseases are persistent, in part because fungi can penetrate deeper layers of skin than can ointments and creams. There are fewer antifungal drugs than antibacterial ones, and antifungals often have more severe side effects. Reflect on the evolutionary relationships among bacteria, fungi, and humans. Why it is harder to fight fungi than bacteria?arrow_forward
