New cards
Fungi are
chemoheterotrophic
2
New cards
Mycoses
fungal infections which can be caused by inhalation or contact with asexual spores
3
New cards
hyphae
long, threadlike filaments
4
New cards
mycelia
mass of hyphae
5
New cards
septate
having walled divisions along the hyphae
6
New cards
aseptate
no walled divisions along the hyphae
7
New cards
asexual spores
conidia and sporangiospores
8
New cards
conidia
not in a sac; extend from the hyphae
9
New cards

enclosed in a sac
10

yeast
single-celled fungi
12
New cards
molds
multi-celled; made up of hyphae
13

having a yeast and a mold stage
