Chapter 31- Fungi
•Exoenzymes – hydrolytic enzyme secreted by fungus outside of body to digest food
•Hyphae – filaments composed of tubular cell walls
•Chitin – contained in fungal cell walls (strong but flexible nitrogen polysaccharide)
•Mycelium – densely branched network of hyphae, surrounds and infiltrates the material on which fungus feeds; maximizes surface area for nutrient absorption; fungus uses energy to grow rapidly by adding hyphal length; usually subterranean
•Septa – cross-walls that divide hyphae into cells; have pores for ribosomes, mitochondria, and nuclei to flow from cell to cell
•Coenocytic – non-septate hyphae; multinucleated cytoplasmic mass (from division of nuclei without cytoplasmic division)
•Haustoria – specialized hyphae that can penetrate host tissue in parasitic fungi
•Sexual Reproduction – plasmogamy,
