What protists use spores to reproduce?
Some protists that use spores to reproduce include slime molds, water molds, and various types of algae. Spores are typically formed as a means of survival under unfavorable conditions, allowing these protists to spread and germinate when conditions become more suitable.
What is in green mold?
There is no such thing as "green mold," the green pigment that you see is the result of spores, which molds use to reproduce.
How are funguslike protist similar to fungi?
Fungus-like protists, such as water molds and slime molds, resemble fungi in terms of their absorptive nutrition and similar body structures. Both groups use structures like hyphae to absorb nutrients from their surroundings and often play similar ecological roles in ecosystems. However, fungus-like protists are classified in different taxonomic groups than true fungi.
What is the importance of slime molds?
A Slime Mould or Myxomycete is a fungi like organism that has the characteristics of both plants and animals. They are found in the tropics and the temperate zones. They may be beneficial to the further development of pharmaceutical drugs.
Do conifers reproduce using seeds or spores?
spores
What is used to reproduce fern and moss?
Ferns reproduce through spores, which are tiny structures produced on the underside of fern fronds. Mosses reproduce through spores as well, which are typically produced in capsules at the tip of the moss plant.
How do portobello mushrooms reproduce?
Portobello mushrooms reproduce through the dispersal of spores. Spores are released from the underside of the mushroom's cap and are carried by the wind to new locations where they can germinate and grow into new mushrooms.
How do mushrooms sexually reproduce?
Mushrooms reproduce sexually by producing spores in specialized structures called basidia. These spores are released into the environment and can germinate under suitable conditions to form new fungal growth. When two compatible spores meet, they can fuse to form a new individual with genetic diversity.
Why slime water molds are not included in kingdom fungi when they resemble with fungi?
Slime molds and water molds (the oomycetes) are not in the fungal kingdom because they are separate evolutionary lineages. This is revealed by phylogenetic analyses using both molecular, morphological, and biochemical data. The kingdom Fungi is united by the presence of chitin in their cell walls, a whiplash flagellum that is oriented on the posterior of the motile cell, the synthesis of lysine using the AAA pathway, plate-like cisternae in the mitochondria, the presence of a Spitzenkorper, and the use of glycogen as a energy storage compound. Slime molds have a anterior whiplash flagella, and oomycetes (the water molds) have a tinsel and whiplash flagella that are laterally oriented. Both of them use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine and have tubular cisternae in the mitochondria. Slime molds do not have cell walls (I think), and oomycete cell walls are made of cellulose. Oomycetes use mycolaminarin as an engery sotrage compound.
The cells fungi use for reproduction are called?
Fungi reproduce through specialized cells called spores. These spores carry the genetic material needed to create a new organism and are released into the environment to disperse and germinate under appropriate conditions.
What are the characteristics of the funguslike protists?
They all are heterotrophs, have cell walls, and use spores to reproduce.
What two characteristics do ferns and their relatives share?
they have vascular tissue & they use spores to reproduce
