Give arguments to support the hypothesis that fungi are opisthokonts,more closely related to animals than to plants.

1) Lichens are often early colonizers, growing on bare rock and in areas where there are no plants yet. How can lichens survive in such habitats, where there is seemingly no nutrients and harsh physical conditions? 2)  Distinguish between a hypha (hyphae) and a mycelium.  Give an example of a species you observed each in today.

Explain the biological determinants of someone’s VO2max.

Discuss the characteristics of fungus-like protists that make them similar to true fungi.

Fungi and animals are both part of a group called Opisthokonta. The vast majority of fungi are multicellular. However, their sister taxon consists of unicellular species. Animals also are multicellular and their closest relatives are again unicellular. Briefly describe the two hypotheses that could explain the origin of multicellularity in the Opisthokonta, and then explain which of the two is the more likely hypothesis

How many acetyl-CoA molecules can be produced from a 20-carbon chain free fatty acid?

Fungi were once classified in the same kingdom as plants. Which characteristic of fungi resulted in them being placed in a separate kingdom?

Distinguish among fungi that are haploid, dikaryotic, ordiploid.

What is the name of the description of these fungi? 1. members of this phylum can produce spores through two kinds of sporangia, one of which is known as a conidium.                                                                               2. this phylum contains organisms that most closely resemble the common ancestor of fungi                                                                                      3. a member of this phylum includes the mold Rhizopus stolonifer                                                                                       4. reproduces only sexually
