Q

define chloroplast

A

surrounded by double membrane and serves as energy-generating reactions, has sacs called thylakoids, and pigment called chrolophyll. Thylakoids are arranged by grana

29
Q

similarities between chloroplast and mitochondria

A

both contain 70S ribosomes, meaning limited DNA -> replicate themselves.

30
Q

define molds

A

long branching filaments called hyphae

31
Q

what is mycelium

A

network of fungal hyphae

32
Q

what is coenocytic fungi

A

molds which it’s cytoplasm pass through cells of hyphae uninterrupted by cross walls

33
Q

fungi that have cross walls

A

septate fungi

*cross walls: septa

34
Q

groups of fungi includes

A

yeast, ruts, smuts, mildews, mold and mushroom

35
Q

characteristics of fungi

A
  • most of them are free-living in soil or water, other form parasitic or symbiotic relationship with plant or animals
  • lack of chlorophyll and has unique structure than plants
36
Q

5 phyla (phylum) of fungi

A
  • chytridiomycota (water mold)
  • zygomycota (bread mold)
  • basidiomycota (mushroom, smuts, rusts)
  • ascomycota (yeast)
37
Q

what are the reproductive types of mold?

A

primarily asexual by spores (conidiospores, sporangiosperm, arthrospores), but many of them can be sexual spores (ascospores and zygospores, not common)

38
Q

define zygomycota

A

small phylum and formed by zygospore

39
Q

what is sporangium

A

structure inside spores development. Held in top of hypha called sporangophore

40
Q

function and characteristics of spores in mold

A

give specific color, asexual reproductive, release when thin wall of of sporangium rupture

41
Q

example of zygomycota

A

mucor and rhizopus

42
Q

example of chytridiomycota

A

allomyces (water mold), physoderma

43
Q

reproductive types of chytridiomycota

A

asexual when release of zoospores derived through mitosis

sexual, when the fusion of isogametes

44
Q

define cytrids (cytridiomycota)

A
  • some of them may live saprobically (in rich organic matter without oxygen) on decaying plant and animal, other may act as parasites of plant and algae
45
Q

does chytrids unicellular?

A

yeas, but some of them form mycelia of coenocytic hyphae

46
Q

characteristics of ascomycota

A

production of haploid ascospores through meiosis of diploid nucleus

47
Q

reproduction types of ascomycota

A

asexual

involves production of airbone spores called conidia, carried on specialized hyphae called conidiophores

the conidia germinate to form another mycelium (haploid)

48
Q

asexual vs sexual reproduction

A

sexual, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique.

asexual, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

live in fresh water, have pseudopodia to change shape and capturing food

60
Q

characteristics of flagellated protozoans

A

have flagella, free living, has chlorophyll, parasitic

61
Q

characteristics of ciliated protozoans

A

have cilia all over body to help locomotion and nutrition, aquatic

62
Q

characteristics of sporozoans

A

their life cycle has spore-like stage

63
Q

define algae

A

derived from kingdom protista, has 30k species

64
Q

characteristics of algae

A
  • single nucleus, some cells are multinucleate
  • some of them are siphonaceous (many nuclei not seperated by cell walls)
  • classified into colors (red, brown, green with choloroplast pigment)
65
Q

characteristics of dinoflagellata (fire algae)

A
  • photosynthetic contain chrolophyll, carotenoids, xantophylls

Q

characteristics of diatom (golden-brown algae)

A
  • when diatoms die, fall into bottom of sea, represent mineral source
68
Q

characteristics of rhodophyta (red algae)

A
