|
Definition
| Bacteria can produce disease by damaging cells and tissues in the breaking down of cells for food, or releasing toxins that interfere with the host's normal activity |

|
Term
| Fungi cell walls are comprised of: |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| COMMON MOLDS: Their hyphae lack cross walls; Rhizoids are the root-like hyphae, Stolons are the stem-like hyphae, and the Zygospore is the resting spore that contains zygotes during the sexual phase |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| SAC FUNGI: Hyphae contain cell walls; asexual and sexual reproduction; Spores form in a sac (ascus) that develops within the fruiting body (e.g. yeast, morels, truffels) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CLUB FUNGI: Hyphae contain cross walls; Basidium is the spore-bearing structure (e.g. mushrooms and toadstools) |
|
|

Definition
| The fungues provides algae or bacteria with water and minerals and protects it from intense sunlight, while the algae or bacteria carry out photosynthesis and provide the fungus with a source of energy |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (Plant roots and fungi) The fungi aid plants in absorbing water and minerals and release enzymes that free nutrients in the soil, while the plants provide the fungi with the products of photosynthesis |
