Q

Why do viruses invade cells

A

Viruses invade cells because they are in active outside of the host (virions), they lack ribosomes needed for metabolisms and they use the raw materials of the host cell to be able to reproduce

Which kingdom is known as the junk drawer

A

Kingdom Protista

30

43
Q

What is in golden brown algae

44
Q

What is in fire algae

A

Dinoflagellates

45
Q

What is the difference between acrasiomycota and myxomycota

A

Acrasiomycota is a multicellular group that forms due to lack of food. Myxomycota is multinucleate with one cell membrane

46
Q

What is a multicellular group that forms due to lack of food

A

Acrasiomycota

47
Q

What is multinucleate with one cell membrane

A

Myxomycota

48
Q

Is the basic anatomy of a fungi

A
  1. Cap
  2. Gills
  3. Stalk
  4. Hyphae
  5. Underground hyphae: mycelium
49
Q

What is the definition of Hyphae

A

Long branching filamentous structure

50
Q

What are the three ways fungi gain energy

A
  1. Saprophytic
  2. Parasitic
  3. Symbiotic/ lichen
51
Q

What is the difference between the three fungi phyla

A
  1. Zygomycota: has two hyphaes join and shoot up 2. Basidiumycota: hyphaes form basidium with four spores on each
  2. Ascomycota: formation of ascus non-motile spores formed
52
Q

What are the three fungi phyla

A
  1. Zygomycota
  2. Basidiumycota
  3. ascomycota
53
Q

What’s the difference between an endospore and a fungal spore

A

An endospore is a bacteria that forms a hard shell because of the lack of food. A fungal spore is a means of reproduction

54
Q

What is an endospore

A

An endospore is a bacteria that forms a hard shell because of the lack of food.

55
Q

Why is a virus not a living organism

A

A virus is not a living organism because it needs hosts ribosome materials to reproduce. (Outside of host it is called a virion) it uses the raw materials of the host cell

56

A

Circular DNA

57
Q

What Is circular DNA
