conjugation
How do Eubacteria reproduce? (2 ways)
binary fission
budding
what are the 3 ways fungi reproduce asexually, describe each way for double points!
a small portion of a parent cell pinches off to become a new individual -- budding
hyphae form long stalks. Stalks are blown by the wind and land on a potential host --spores
hyphae breaks apart, each becomes a new fungus -- fragmentation

what are the plates under the top called?
cap , gills

is a quick process
makes exact copies

define hyphae and mycelium
thread-like strands that make up most of some fungus bodies -hyphae
a twisted mass; the large part of the fungus- mycelium

Fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
list and describe the 3 ways protist move and give an example of each
cilia- hair like extensions, paramecium
flagella- long, whip like extension, euglena
pseudopods- temporary false foot, amoeba
What 2 structures of bacteria allow for protection?
cell wall
capsule
What are three life functions that viruses cannot do that all other organisms can do? Please remember to use complete sentences and proper grammar.
The 3 life functions that viruses cannot do are function with out a host, cannot grow, and cannot use energy from nutrients.
Give one way Fungi are helpful and one way Fungi are harmful. Use complete sentences and proper grammar.
One way fungi is helpful is that they can help make bread and antibiotics. They are harmful because they can cause athletes foot.
