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

mucor and rhizopus

42
Q

example of chytridiomycota

A

allomyces (water mold), physoderma

43
Q

reproductive types of chytridiomycota

A

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.
