What environment does Algae live in?
aquatic environment
Are mushrooms autotrophic or heterotrophic?
heterotrophic
Name one of the four ways that algae can reproduce?
Asexually through binary fission, spores and fragmentation. Sexually through gametes.
What are the four types of bacteria?
Cocci, Bacilli, Vibrios, and Spirochatea.
What are the four main protozoa groups?
Ciliate, flagellate, rhizopod, and sporozoan
How does algae feed?
Algae is autotrophic, they synthesise their own organic matter through photosynthesis.
Give one example of unicellular and multicellular fungi.
Unicellular, yeast. Multicellular, moulds or mushroom forming fungi.
What is one way Fungi reproduce?
unicellular fungi reproduce through budding, while multicellular reproduce through spores.
True or false: Bacteria are microscopic beings that can not live in all environments and require certain conditions to live.
False, bacteria are microscopic beings that can adapt to all environments and to the inside of living beings. They can withstand the most extreme temperatures, acidity levels, salinity levels, and so on.
How do protozoa feed?
True or false: "Algae cells are all multicellular"
False, algae cells can be unicellular, colonial forming, or multicellular.
How can fungi be harmful to people or the environment?
Fungi can cause disease such as ringworm or athletes foot, and infect or damage crops. Some toxins from mushrooms can be fatal if you consume them.
How does protozoa reproduce?
Some reproduce sexually through gametes, more common reproduction asexually when cells duplicate the DNA and dividing the contents into 2 daughter cells.
Describe one kind of helpful bacteria
Fermentative bacteria are used to make cheese, yoghurt, or vinegar. Photosynthetic bacteria oxygenate water and the atmosphere. Decomposer bacteria breaks down organic matter.
What type of cell are Protozoa? (this is a 3 word answer) ____, ____, and ____
Eukaryotic, Unicellular, and heterotrophic.
What two parts of an algae cell allow it to contain pigment called chlorophyll?
algal cells have a cell wall and chloroplast, which contain a pigment called chlorophyll.
What is mycelium and what is it made of?
The underground and actual body of the fungus. It is made of hyphae (fungi cells that join together to form a filament like structure).
What is the name of the reproductive structure of a multicellular fungi?
The mushroom.
How do autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria feed?
Autotrophic feed through photosynthesis and heterotrophic feed on organic matter of other living beings.
Describe how protozoa are helpful to the environment?
Some are important in sewage treatment, feeding on decomposer bacteria. Others makeup plankton and are food for many aquatic organisms.
Give one example of how algae can be helpful to the ocean environment?
Describe a symbiotic fungi relationship.
Lichens, are formed by a fungus and an alga. The fungus provides a moist environment that alga needs to live, and the alga provides food for the fungus.
