Chap 18 Flashcards
Sporozoa
Plasmodium. Non-motile. Parasitic. Reproduce by spores.
Zoomastigina.
Trichomonas. Move using flagellas.
What cause malaria?
Plasmodium vivax carried by the anopheles mosquito.
What causes African Sleeping Sickness?
Trypanosoma cared by the Tsetse fly.
To keep the proper surface area-to-volume ratio in amoeba the process that takes place is called:
Binary Fission
Euglenophyta
Autotroph, heterotroph. Can swim in water and crawl if there is no water. 2 flagellas. Eyespot.
Pyyrophyta-Dinoflagellates
Thick armour. 2 flagellas. Can form poisonous algae bloom(Red Tide). Luminescent.
Chrysophyta- Diatoms
Thick armour. Have a skeletal system made of silica. Skeleton is two halves of an identical structure. Stay buoyant in water because of fat droplets within the cell.
Acrasiomycota
Cellular Slime Molds. Start as amoebic cells. Can fuss into one large mass of cells. Form fruiting body full off spores. Produce spores that drift in the wind.
Myxomycota
Acellular slime molds. Start as amebic cells. Develop into a mass with thousands of nuclei. Fruiting body full of spores. Produce spores that are flagellated.
The body of a typical fungus is made up of…?
Filaments
Filaments are tangled into a thick mass called…?
Mycelium.
Each individual filament is called a…?
Hyphae
Oomycota
Fungi that commonly forms white fizz on aquarium fish.
Zygomycota
Common molds. Lack cross walls.
Ascomycota
Most common fungi (sac fungi).
Basidiomycota
Club fungi. Most easily recognizable.
Green algae are important to ecosystems in that they…
Are food producers and oxygenators.
The cause that might result in algae bloom in water is…
Over fertilized fields nearby.
Lichens are symbiotic partnerships between…
Fungus and a Cyanobacteria.
Sacrodina.
Amoeba. Move using pseudopods.
