What is mycology?
  • The study of fungi
Link to Answer Article
What is the function of the cell membrane?
  • First line of defence preventing toxic materials entering the cell
  • Important in the degredation of extra-cellular nutrients
Link to Answer Article
Which substances are stored in the cytoplasm in granules?
  • Fats
  • Glycogen
  • Protein
Link to Answer Article
What are the main characteristics of filamentous fungi?
  • Branching hyphae
  • Hyphae grow to form a mycelium
  • Aerial hyphae produce conidiospores and sporangiospores
  • Conidia are also produced which are asexual spores
Link to Answer Article
What are the main characteristics of dimorphic fungi?
  • Develop into a mycelium or another form depending on environmental conditions
  • Yeast-like parasitic phase
  • Mycelial saphrophytic phase
  • Show phenotypic duality
Link to Answer Article
How would you recognise yeast cells?

  • Reproduce by budding
  • Yeasts can assimilate sugar and nitrogen and ferment various sugar compounds
  • Can produce pseudohyphae
Link to Answer Article
What are the three types of fungal spore produced?
  • Sexual
  • Asexual
  • Vegetative
Link to Answer Article
Fill in the missing words about immunity to fungal infections Cutaneous and superficial fungal infections are normally self-limiting with recovery associated with a resistance to re-infection. As hosts often develop delayed-type hypersensitivity this resistance appears to be cell-mediated. Link to Answer Article
