Is bacteria round or made from long threads?
Fungi
What species is a small round white mushroom that sprays green dust?
Fungi is the small round white mushroom that sprays green power dust. People also call the fungi puffballs.
How do you differentiate the colony of yeast and fungus in petri plates?
Yeast colonies will generally be round, smooth, and look wet. (They may or may not be shiny.) Hyphal fungi may or may not be round; they will look more thread-like, stringy, and wispy. Hyphal fungi may also appear powdery due to the production of conidia. (A yeast is a fungus.)
Does a coccus move?
Cocci is the pleural word for coccus which is a single round one-cell bacterium. It is an infection of the lungs caused by inhaling spores of the fungus Coccidioides immitis.
How are fungi able to survive harsh environments?
Unlike plants, which are self-feeding, fungi cannot create their own food like plants do through the sun. They need to get their energy off other life. Whether it be living off dead plants and other fungi as a saprobe, or living off live plants and fungi as a parasite, often killing them, or even making relationships with higher plants and trees, connecting their mycelium (the fungus' roots) with the trees roots and sharing nutrients evenly and living as a mycorrhizical fungus. In fact, many trees and plants cannot survive in the wild without mycorrhizical fungi. The fungi can also make relationships with many trees- creating a network between the trees' roots. Think of houses that we live in as the trees, and the power cords to the power lines connected to many other houses as the fungus. This is how it works in nature, and trees can even exchange their nutrients to other trees through the roots of the fungi, with the fungus getting a bit of the nutrients too. So basically the trees live as a family. Fungi which live off dead matter are very important. Without them forests would become choked with logs, sticks, etc. and they would never become soil again to be used by other plants, so when the plants use up all the soil, how can more be made? While fungi that live off live trees and plants may seem bad, it is just controllling the natural ecosystem- Controlling the amount of trees to make sure everything stays incontrol, so forests don't become choked with trees fighting for the soil, which will all be used up before the fungi that live on dead matter have decomposed it. In a sense, it is all a chain that must stay linked to keep going round and round! It uses it's enzymes to break down the starch, which is what fungi needs to survive.
What is sporangia?
Sporangium is both a classification of fungi, and a description of a specific part of fungi anatomy. Sporangium is a classification of fungi, distinct from other forms of fungi (such as budding fungi or symbiotic fungi) because it is a sporing fungi which produces spores in the sporangia. Many forms of fungi reproduce by sporing via the hyphae. The hyphae of most fungi are either rooted in the ground or in the host, depending on whether the species of fungi is saprophytic or parasitic, respectively. Fungus described as Sporangium also reproduces (proliferates) via the production of spores, but specifically the spores are produced in the sporangia; the sporangia form on the thread-like stalks -- known as the hyphae -- of the plant body. Normally, the hyphae (which produce spores in sporing fungi) are anchored in the nutritional substrate, either the ground or some host body, in most cases. The part of the fungi that is "above ground" or visible on a host body is called the fruiting body. However, in the case of sporangium fungi, the hyphae are not anchored in some substrate, but instead are usually found external of the substrate or host, where the fruiting body would be described. Sporangia are hard sacks on the ends of the hyphae where spores grow, and when a sporangium -- or a grouping of the sporangia -- reaches maturity, it breaks open, speading thousands of spores. The spores that land on some carbon-rich organic matter -- preferably damp or decomposing -- they will use that organic matter as a nutritional substrate, each spore growing into new hyphae that forms a new fungal body. It should be noted, however, that sporangium fungi can also produce sexually, as they are -- somewhat uniquely -- able to produce zygospores which allow them to incorporate the genetic material from two distinct parent-hyphae and produce a hybrid of the two original hyphae in the offspring fungal body. Common forms of bread mold, such as Apergillus, are Sporangium fungi.

Fungi
What is the function of a mushroom's stalk?
To raise the crown (round cap) high enough to let the spores drop down and scatter.
Does threadlike fungi form of asexual reproduction used by yeast?
No. "Parts of the hyphae grow into the air and form round spore cases at the tips. These spore cases are called sporangia(spoh RAN jee uh). Figure 5 shows some magnified sporangia. When the sporangia break open, many tiny spores are released into the air. New fungi will develop from these spores if they land in an area with good growing conditions."No yeasts are used in this process

You are a round or pear shaped fungus that contains spores you sit directly on the ground or on a rotten log you range in size from a golf ball to a watermelon what are you?
Puffballs. Puffballs are pear shaped fungus that contain spores....

How does the sound produce in a french horn?
when you blow into it, the sounds goes round and round the tube and eventually comes out of the bell at the end

Explain the life cycle of a Rhizopus?
Rhizopus...my favorite topic. On top of bread there is mold and under a microscope it looks like a tree with a white stem and a sphere shaped round black top. It comes like that and from the sporangia more mold is made. The black round spores which look like pollen and are black are the mold spores. It is hard to desride through the internet but the spores land and begin to grow more...they decompose the bread. It begins as a mold spore which reproduces rapidly and then comes as tall with more mold spores that fall. On bread it looks like white as more mold grows it develops black on it. Under a microscope it will look like trees almost.
