Bacteria Flashcards
asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies
Binary Fission
Algae that’s brown
Brown algae
a natural and abundant biopolymer found in the cell walls of fungi, exoskeletons of insects, shells of crustaceans, and in other lower eukaryotic organisms
Chitin
a short microscopic hairlike vibrating structure
Cilia
gram-negative bacteria
Cyanobacteria
photosynthesising algae
Diatoms
a slender threadlike structure
Flagella
requiring complex organic compounds of nitrogen and carbon (as that obtained from plant or animal matter) for metabolic synthesis.
Heterotrophic
each of the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus
Hypha
A network of fungal threads or hyphae
Mycelium
microscopic unicellular eukaryotes that have a relatively complex internal structure and carry out complex metabolic activities
Protozoans
a temporary protrusion of the protoplasm, as of certain protozoans, usually serving as an organ of locomotion or prehension
Pseudopods
organism that feeds on nonliving organic matter known as detritus at a microscopic level
Saprophytes
any of a group of protozoans that have pseudopodia used for locomotion and for obtaining food
Sarcodines
any of a large group of parasitic one-celled animals that have a complicated life cycle usually involving both asexual and sexual generations often in different hosts
Sporozoans
Rod shaped bacteria
Bacillus
Mushroom roots
Hypha
Underside of mushroom cap
Gills
Mushroom stem
Stipe
spherical or roughly spherical bacterium.
Coccus
curved-shaped bacteria which can range from a gently curved shape to a corkscrew spiral
Spirillum
pendant and hair-like, upright and shrubby, or upright and cup-like
Fruticose
usually gray-green and form more or less circular colonies
Foliose
forming or resembling a crust
Crustose
