Lab 2 Flashcards
Kingdom Fungi Phylums
Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Duteromycota
Fungal like protist phylum
myxomycota
Plant like protist phylum
Euglenophyta, dinophyta, baccilariophyta, chlorophyta, phaeophyta, rhodophyta
Basic Characteristics Fungi
All are heterotrophic, Chitin Cell Walls, Absorptive Nutrition, important Decomposers, Most use spores to reproduce (zygotic meiosis)
Zygomycota
reproduce asexually by sporangia and sexually by zygospores(bread molds)
Ascomycota
sexually reproduce with a fruiting body that contains asci which contain 8 ascospores
Basidiomycota
Reproduce using basidioma(basiocarp) which form basidia and basidiospores(mushrooms, toadstools)
Deuteromycota
Do not fit into the established taxonomic classifications. Only their asexual form of reproduction is known.
Algae Basic Characteristics
Eukaryotes•Simple/primitive, yet very adaptable•Can be heterotrophic and/or autotrophic•Asexual and Sexual reproduction present•Do not have a Sterile Jacket
Phylum Euglenophyta Charactaristics
Use pellicle for structure instead of cell wall, most are autotrophic–Most photosynthetic and heterotrophic
Phylum Dinophyta
Dinoflagellates. Redtides, Ceratium
Phylum chlorophyta
Green Algae
volvox
ulva
spirogyra
Phaeophyta
Brown algae (holdfast, stipe, blade) kelp
Rhodophyta
Red Algae
Agar
Myxomycota
(Myx= slime, mucous) cellular and plasmodialslime molds (Physarum)–Heterotrophic and amoeboid–Form Sporangia
