Fungi
The two categories of fungi
Photoautotroph definition.
A photosynthetic organism that utilizes energy from light to synthesize organic molecules.
Chemoheterotrophs eat what?
They feed off other organisms; bacteria, decaying organic matter, or protozoa.
The organelle that ribosomes are constructed in.
Nucleolus
Algal cells do not have a mitochondrion.
Cap-Algal cells do have a mitochondrion
Hyphae is what kind of fungi?
A mold and its Microscopic
The pigment inside of the chloroplasts
Chlorophyll
The 3 characteristics that define a protozoa
Eukaryotic, Unicellular, and Lack of cell wall.
Organelles are associated with the Endosymbiotic Theory.
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
All fungi are Eukaryotic
Fact
Dimorphic fungi definition
A fungus that can exist in both mold and yeast forms.
Algal cell walls are composed of ______.
Cellulose
The two types of helminths
Flatworms and Roundworms (nematodes)
Where lipids are synthesized.
Smooth ER
Asexual spores are produced via meiosis
Cap- they are produced via mitosis
Sporangiospores are formed where?
The sac-like head called Sporangium, which is attached to a stalk called the sporangiophore.
What do algal blooms do to the environment?
Release a neurotoxin that can kill fish
Tapeworms are _____, while flukes are _____.
Cestodes and Trematodes
Main function of the Golgi.
Modifies, sorts, and transports proteins.
All helminths are multicellular.
Fact
What is a downside of Asexual reproduction? (asexual spores in this case)
Leads to no genetic variation because asexual spores are creating an identical copy of the parent.
The main difference between an algal cell and a plant cell?
Their cellular composition. Algal cells can be unicellular or multicellular, while plant cells are only multicellular.
What is the most prevalent helminth?
Roundworms-1.5 billion people infected
The type of DNA in the mitochondria.
Circular and Haploid.
Phospholipids are made up of a hydrophobic head and hydrophilic tail.
Cap- Hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail.
