Is this true or false? "while we eat some fungi, others can cause harmful bodily infections"
TRUE
Are cells in Kingdom Protoctista prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Eukaryotic
Are organisms in Monera unicellular or multicellular?
Unicellular
Name this protozoa (hint: how does it move? Does it have hairs, or a long tail?)
This is a cilliate. Note the cillia, or fine hairs around its edges
To what Kingdom do algae belong?
Protoctista
Are fungi cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Eukaryotic
Are algae plants?
No, because they do not form tissues (their structure is simpler than that of plants). While algae and plants both photosynthesize and have chloroplasts, algae do not have specialized tissues, organs, roots, stems, or leaves.
Are organisms in Kingdom Monera eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
prokaryotic
Name this type of protozoa:
Flagellate (has a flagellum, a long tail which it uses to propel itself and move around)
What are the three types of algae?
Red, green, and brown
Are fungi multicellular or unicellular?
They can be either multicellular or unicellular
Name the two types of organisms that we talked about that are included in Kingdom Protoctista
protozoa and algae
Name two traits that describe organisms in kingdom Monera
Name this protozoa
Sporozoa (no movement structure)
What is the dominant pigment found in green algae?
chlorophyll
Name one difference between a fungal cell and a plant cell
Fungal cells do not contain chrolophyll or form tissues (instead, they form hyphae)
Name the four types of protozoa that we discussed and drew on the board (hint: they are classified based on how they move)
flagellates, cilliates, sporozoa, rhizopods
Name one type of organism included under Kingdom Monera
bacteria, archaea
Name this protozoa
Rhizopod (has psuedopodia--extensions of the cytoplasm that it uses like legs)
What structure allows some algae to stay afloat in the water?
gas bladder or air bladder
How do fungi reproduce?
Through spores that travel through the air
What is a difference between organisms in Kingdom Monera and Kingdom Protoctista?
Organisms in Monera are prokaryotic (do not have a nucleus) while organisms in Protoctista are eukaryotic (do have a nucleus)
Explain how you know that this cell is not part of Kingdom Monera
While these are:
The first cell has a visible nucleus (dark spot where all of the genetic information is concentrated)
Where might you find a protozoa? (where do they grow?)
In damp places or inside of another living being
How are algae classified?
Based on their dominant pigment
