Dimorphic fungi are those species that occur as either molds or yeast, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and nutrient availability.

Dimorphic fungi are fungi that can exist in the form of both mold and yeast. This is usually brought about by change in temperature and the fungi are also described as thermally dimorphic fungi. An example is Talaromyces marneffei, a human pathogen that grows as a mold at room temperature, and as a yeast at human body temperature.

The term dimorphic is commonly used for fungi that can grow both as yeast and filamentous cells, however many of these dimorphic fungi actually can grow in more than these two forms. Dimorphic is thus often used as a general reference for fungi being able to switch between yeast and filamentous cells, but not necessary limiting more shapes.

Some diseases caused by this fungi are:

  • sporotrichosis
  • blastomycosis
  • histoplasmosis
  • coccidioidomycosis
  • paracoccidioidomycosis
  • talaromycosis
  • candidiasis

Several species of dimorphic fungi are important pathogens of humans and other animals which  includes :

  • Coccidioides immitis
  • Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
  • Candida albicans
  • Blastomyces dermatitidis
  • Histoplasma capsulatum
  • Sporothrix schenckii

A carbohydrate is an organic compound such as sugar or starch, and is used to store energy. Like most organic compounds, carbohydrates are built of small, repeating units that form bonds with each other to make a larger molecule. In the case of carbohydrates, the small repeating units are called monosaccharides.

Which statement best explains why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same
vichka [17]
Because they are made to perform two different functions. Cells are part of tissues that are part of organs that perform a certain function. For example, your bone cells are made to make blood cells, so they wouldn’t be in your lungs as well.

What happens to the concentration of free water molecules when a substance dissolves in the water?
777dan777 [17]
If you are adding something to the water the concentration of water would drop, as it would start off as 100% water but then with the addition of another substance it would change that from 100% free to x% free, due to the water dissolving the substance.
