31
Q
A

PROKARYOTIC CELL

32
Q

Example of a autotrophic bacteria ( prokaryotes)

A

CYANOBACTERIA ( aka blue green algea)

33
Q

CYANOBACTERA AKA

A

blue green algae

34
Q

characteristics of CYANOBACTERA

A

prokaryote

bacteria

autotrophic

may grow as single cells or in colonies ( filaments)

35
Q
A

colonial CYANOBACTERIA

( Ocilatoria) named for its movement

have filaments ( single cells fused together to create a colony or a filament)

reproduce by fragmentation( eac cell can break off from the filament then grow into a new filament)

36
Q

3 examples of of Protozoans ( aninal like protistst)

A

they are all heterotrophs), single celled eukaryotes

  1. Ameoba sp.
  2. Euglena sp.
  3. Vorticella sp.
37
Q
A

Ameba sp.

Eukaryote–protist— protozoan–single celled heterotroph

note: psuedopods

( used for movement ( cytoplasmic streaming) and for surrounding andcapturing prey)

38
Q
A

Euglena sp.

protozoan-protist-eukaryote- single celled heterotrophs photosynthetic

note: flagella ( each cell has 2 to propel the cell)

39
Q
A

Vorticella sp.

( protozoan,-protist-eukarya- single celled heterotroph)

note:

cilia ( at top used for movement and funnel water

stalk ( retactable) ( used to attach to substrate)

Filter feeds on bacteria

40
Q

example of a unicellular algae

A

Volvox sp.

41
Q
A

Volvox sp.

unicellular algae

photosynthetic, autotrophic, protist , eukarya

42
Q

Example of multicellular algae

A

Spirogyra sp.

43
Q
A

Spirogyra sp

multicellular photosynthetic algae, protist, eukaryotic autotrophs

44
Q

Why are spirogyras different in color

A

due to different light absorbent pigments in their cells

45
Q

example of a filamentous green algae

A

spirogyra sp.

46
Q

based on molecular evidence what is believed to have evolved from ancient species of green algae

A

Vascular plants

47
Q

eg. of brown algae

A

Fucus

Large microscopic forms that attach to rocks

48
Q
A

Fucus

brown algae

note: flotation bladders

49
Q

What is the root like structure on the fucus

A

HOLDFAST ( allow it to attach to rocks etc)

50
Q

filamentous structure of fungus

A

HYPHAE

51
Q

Basidomycetes

A

belong to the taxon basidomycota

are mushroom producing fungi

52
Q

Where are basidomyctes spores are borne

A

between the gills on the underside of hte mushroom cap

53
Q

Ascomycetes

A

belonging to the taxon acscomycota ( sac fungi)

do not form mushroom

54
Q

eg.s of ascomycetes

A

yeast

55
Q
A

Rhizopus

(bread mole)

56
Q

Bread mole

A

Rhizopus

57
Q

The white filament on rhizopus

A

Hyphae

58
Q

hyphae collectively form

A

mycelium

59
Q

The stalks on a bread mold ( rhizopus)

A

Sporangia

60
Q

What is the purpose of the sporangia

A

these produce spores that germinate and grow into hyphae

The spores function in asexual reproduction

61
Q
A

peziza

cup fungi

ascomycetes

62
Q

the peziza reproducive structure is called

A

asci/ ascus

they produce 8 spores each

63
Q

Ascocarp

A

the fruitbody of ascomycetes

64
Q

Example of basidomycetes

A

mushrooms

puffballs

shelf fungi

65
Q

mushrooms have either gills or —–

on the underside for spores

A

pores

66
Q
A
