Biology: Protists and Fungi Flashcards
are protists eukaryotes or prokaryotes
eukaryotes
do they live in dry or moist surroundings
moist
Are they autotrophs or heterotrophs
both or one or the other
can they move?
some can some can’t
What are 3 categories of protists
animal-like
fungus-like
plant-like
animla-like
unicellular
heterotrophs
divided up based on way of movement:flagella, cilia, pseuodopods, or other
pseudopods
cell membrane pushes in one direction, cytoplasm flows
dragging
how do pseudopods get food
grow to arm like things and then entrap food closing around it
how do pseudopods reproduce
binary fission
cilia
hair like structures help organism move, get food, and sense environment
are cilia unicellular
multi, with 2 nuceli
what are the two nuclei in cilia protzoans for
one for everyday functions
other for reproduction: binary fission or conjugation
whats an example of an cilia protazoan
paramecium
how do cilia get food
oral groove gets water containing food into vacuole and vacuole breaks it down
how do flagellas move
with long whip like tail
sporozoans
parasites, feed on cells and body fluids of hosts
example of sporozoans
plasmodium(causes malaria)
fungus like protsist
heterotrophs
have cell walls
reproduce by spores
plant like protsists
algae
autotrophs
unicellular to very large
fungi kingdom
eukarayotes
use spores to reproduce
heterotrophs
warm moist place
how fungi obtain food
hyphae: threadlike tubes that break down food it grows on so fungi can absorb
how does fungi reproduce
spores
unless conditions are bad the sexually
how does yeast reproduce
budding
what are 4 classifications of fungi
threadlike-spores, bread mold
sac-spores, yeast
club-spores, mushrooms
imperfect-sexually, penicillin
