Kingdom Protista 3 Flashcards
Somatic Phase
Diploid and Multinucleate Plasmodium
Habitat of Slime Moulds
Damp places with dead and decaying organisms
Mode of Perennation
Plasmotomy
Sclerotia
Sclerotia
Plasmodium becomes dormant and hardened mass to protect against heat and dryness
Plasmodium in Unfavourable Conditions
It differentiates into fruiting bodies called Sporangium
Sporangium forms when
Food on substratum is Exhausted
Covering of Sporangium
Peridium (CaCO3)
Sporulation
Refer notes
Meiosis
Occur in young and immature spores (2n)
4 haploid nuclei produced
3 degenerate and
1 remains functional
Spore Liberation occurs because of
Contraction of Peridiumand Twisting movement of Capillitium
Spores dispersed by Air Currents is Called
Anemochory
Spore Germination
Occur by absorbing moisturefrom moist substratum
Zygote Formation is also called
Isogamy Fertilization
Perform ____ Cycling
Biogeochemical
Plant Trait
Spores have a cellulosic cell wall
Fungal Trait
Produce Spores and act as Decomposers
Protoplasmic Studies are made on them because of
Myxamoebae and Plasmodia
Major Mode of Reproduction
Sexual
Vegetative mode of Reproduction
Plasmotomy
Flagella are visible in which phase
When they become Myxamoebae or Biflagellated Swarm Cells
Which Kinesis does it go through ?
Karyokinesis only
