The movement of an organism towards nutrients or oxygen

What is Positive Phototaxis? 

100

Excavata, SAR clade, Unikonta, and Archaeplastida

What are the four eukaryotic supergroups?

100
Hyphae form this interwoven mat, which maximizes surface area and can be huge. 

What is the mycelium?

100

The evolutionary trend toward the concentration of sensory equipment at the anterior end of the body and is associated with bilateral symmetry. 

What is Cephalization? 

200

Smaller rings of DNA that can replicate independently, be transferred, and are not needed for special contingencies. Help with genetic advantages such as antibiotic resistance

What is a plasmid?

200

The vector for Leishmaniasis. 

What is a sandfly?

200

General term for a fungal infection (i.e., ringworm, athletes foot, etc.) 

What is a mycosis?

200

A member of a group of animal phyla identified as a clade by molecular evidence. Many of these are molting animals. 

What is an ecdysozoa? 

300

A sticky, secreted substance that forms another outside protective layer that is dense and well-defined. It enables prokaryotes to adhere to their substrates or to other individuals to form a colony. It can protect against dehydration and a host's defenses. 

What is a Capsule? 

(P.S. : A slime layer is a capsule that is not well organized)

300

Largely varies group of protists named for their cuse of cilia to move around. They have two distinct types of nuclei -- micronuclei and macronuclei. 

What is a ciliate?

300

A fungus that lacks septa and whose body is made up of a continuous cytoplasmic mass that may contain hundreds or thousands of nuclei. 

What is a coenocytic fungus?

300

A body cavity not completely lined with mesoderm. 

What is a Pseudocoelom?

400

Inhibits prokaryotic growth by inhibiting x-link formation, which is how the sugars of peptidoglycan are held together. This interferes with cell wall function, making it easier to bypass the cell membrane and kill the cell. 

What is Penicillin?  

400
Unicellular algae with unique glass-like wall make of hydrated silica (silicon dioxide) embedded in an organic matrix. Can withstand pressure as great as 1.4 million kg/mand are a major component of plankton in oceans and lakes. Massive, fossilized accumulations of said algae are major constituents of sediments called diatomaceous earth. When not eaten, their bodies sink to the ocean floor and CO2 is 'pumped' to the bottom. 

What is a diatom?

400

Mycelia that have become genetically heterogeneous through the fission of two hyphae with genetically different nuclei. 

What are Heterokaryon?

400

These are triploblastic animals without a cavity between the gut and outer body wall. 

What is acoelomates? 

500

Inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the 23s rRNA molecule or the bacterial ribosome blocking the exit of the growing peptide chain. 

What is Erythromycin? 

500

Also called mycetozoans, they were once thought to be fungi, but DNA sequence analysis revealed the resemblance is the result of convergent evolution. 

What is a slime mold? 

(P.S. : Plasmodial slime molds are diploid while cellular slime molds are haploid organisms.)

500

A phylum that includes stinkhorns, puffballs, mushrooms, earth stars, jelly fungi, etc. Members of this phylum have small 'clubs' on their gills that produce spores. It includes some of the deadliest mushrooms on Earth such as: Amanita muscaria, Amanita phalloides, and all species under the name 'destroying angel'.

What is Basidiomycota?

500

These protists are considered the ancestors of fungi and animals. 

What are colonial flagellated protists?
