WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION As you read inthis chapter, fungi have long formed symbiotic associationswith plants and with algae. In a short essay (100–150 words),describe how these two types of associations may lead toemergent properties in biological communities.
WHAT IF? If fungi colonized land before plants, wheremight the fungi have lived? How would their foodsources have differed from what they feed on today?

- A scientist sequences the genome of Chara, red algae, and a tomato plant. What result would support the conclusion that Charophytes should he included in the F’/amae kingdom? The Chara genome is more similar to the red algae than the tomato plant All three genomes are distinctly different The Chara genome is more similar to the tomato plant genome than the red algae genome The tomato plant genome is distinct from the red algae genome.arrow_forwardA common soil fungal species is suddenly detected as an aggressive wheat pathogen, decimating crops around the world by causing a wheat disease that has the same symptoms as a well-known bacterial plant pathogen. In an attempt to mitigate the damage, you are selected to investigate the origins of this fungal disease. Design a plan to address this issue that includes: A well justified hypothesis for the origin of the disease • An experiment to test your hypothesis • A cartoon of how the data would look like if your hypothesis is validated (yes, draw a graph/diagram of the data that would support your hypothesis)arrow_forwardA student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work. Fungi Only Animals Only Both May be multicellular or unicellular Eukaryotic Multicellular Can reproduce asexually or sexually No cell wall Has a cell wall Heterotrophic Which feedback would be the MOST accurate? O A. "All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move 'may reproduce sexually or asexually 'to fungi only." B. "You need to move the term heterotroph to the 'animals' circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic." C. "You have all of the information correct." O D. "You should remove 'has a cell wall' because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.arrow_forward
- Evolutionary Group(s) Refer to figure 2 on page 2 of the lab. What color(s) is/are this organism? Does it contain chlorphyll? Is there a "photosymbiont" present (refer to the lichens of Wisconsin guide) Describe the structure and composition of this organism - does it have leaves, roots, thallus, rhizine, mycelia, fruiting bodies (etc.) How else might you distinguish this organism from another organism in this table Lichen Fungi Slime Mold Plantsarrow_forward1. How are fungi unique among the diversity of life on earth? (i.e., why are they considered in their own Kingdom?) 2. What is the relationship between fungi and land plant evolution? What evidence do we have for this relationship? 3. Distinguish structurally and functionally between endomycorrhyzae, ectomycorrhizae, and endophyte. 4. Distinguish between the following word pairing: hyphae and mycelium; diploid and dikaryotic; plasmogamy and karyogamy. 5. What is the evolutionary connection between fungi and the Opisthokonta clade? Why are there no fossils of fungi until 460 million years ago?arrow_forwardMany antibiotics are produced by fungi. What is the evolutionary advantage of producing compounds to inhibit the growth of bacteria? Select one: cross out O a. There is no advantage; it is a byproduct of their extracellular digestion cross out O b. Bacteria are a main source of nutrition for fungi cross out O C. To reduce competition in the surrounding soil cross out O d. To attract other organisms to the soil Clear my choicearrow_forward
- "Fungi and animals are more closely related to each other than to plants, because they share these two traits." "Chitin, autotrophy" Photoautotrophy and chitin "Heteroautotrophy, have cellular walls" "Mycelium, heteroautotrophy" "Have their own energy, chitin"arrow_forwardWhat thick feature do they have that is similar to plants?

- 2. Consider a population of mycorrhizal fungi, all with equal access to a single tree. When all of the fungi invest equally in the tree, each fungi's growth rate (g) is proportional to its investment (z), like g(z) = az However, if a single (or small fraction of the total) fungi instead invests y, the rare individual(s) growth is instead g(y) = y(a + z - y) What is the evolutionarily stable strategy for the fungal investment in the tree?arrow_forward1. We know fungi are eukaryotic (have membrane-bound nuclei and organelles). Explain three unique ways fungi are different from other microbes (algae, protozoans, bacteria, and archaea). Compare cell walls, cell membranes, morphology, reproduction, and life cycles. (Words to use in your answer include chitin, cellulose, peptidoglycan, pseudopeptidoglycan, ergosterol, hopanoids, cholesterol, mycelium, hyphae, multinucleate, multicellular, unicellular, nutritional needs, environmental needs, chemoheterotrophy, saprobes, parasites, free-living, reproductive strategies, spores). 2. Algae and protozoans are loosely grouped as protists and are different from plants because they lack specific characteristics of plants. Explain what differentiates algae from plants and two ways they are different from protozoans. Talk about algae being part of our environment and how algae may positively or negatively impact our health or the environment.
