Q

what are some control methods for viruses:

A
  • Quarantine and surveillance

18
Q

t-f bacteria are multicellular
organisms with no organized nucleus

A

false: their are single-celled organisms

19
Q

do bacteria have cell walls?

A

yes

20
Q

imagine a bacterial cell, animal and plant cell

A

voir image (cell wall)

21
Q

t-f:Gram-positive organisms have a thicker cell wall compared with gram-negative bacteria

A

true

22
Q

t-f: bacteria can penetrate plant tissues.

A

false

23
Q

how bacteria enter in plant tissues?

A

they enter through wounds-blessures- (either caused by human activity
or by insect feeding) or through natural openings

24
Q

how bacteria transmit and survive?

A

Bacteria can be spread from plant to plant by way of soil, insects, splashing water (rain splashes and run-off), infected seeds, or pruning tools. The bacterium that causes fire blight can be spread by bees.

25
Q

Leaf spots caused by - tend to be
angular because they are initially limited by the
veins on leaves.

A

bacterium

26
Q

Gram positive bacteria vs gram neg. bacteria

A

positive ex.:potato ring , leaf canker, potato scab
negative: blights

27
Q

t-f fungus digests food
externally and absorbs nutrients directly through its cell walls.

A

true

28
Q

t-f: fungi are heterotrophs

A

yes

29
Q

biotrophs;
saprotrophs (saprophytes).
necrotrophs. expliquez

A

biotrophs: feeding from within living host cells throughout its lifecycle.
saprotrophs: extract nutrient from dead and decomposing tissues
necrotrophs: kill a plants before feeding on it

30
Q

t-f, yeast and molds are the only unicellular fungi the others types are multicellular

A

true

31
Q

Ascomycota :
Basidiomycota:
are typically filamentous fungi
composed of hyphae. Most species reproduce
sexually with a club-shaped spore-bearing organism that usually produces four sexual spores

A
32
Q

what do fungi do?

A

involve in a wide range of activities: most of them are decomposers
some are parasites or pathogens of other organisms

33
Q

t-f: some fungi are so effective at killing insects that they are used as biological control

A

true

34
Q

t-f: fungi cant be beneficial because they kill other organisms

A

false:s some are beneficial partners in symbiosis with animals, plants or algae

35
Q

There are thousands of species of plant pathogenic fungi that collectively are responsible for —% of all
known plant disease

A

70% of all known plants diseases

36
Q
  • Biotrophic fungal pathogens obtain nutrients from living host tissues, how are named the specialized cells
    that form inside host cells.?
    They form specialized structures called —- at the end of germ tubes
A

haustoria
appressoria

37
Q

difference between generalist and specialized nectrophic fungi

A

Necrotrophic fungi can be either generalists, growing
on a wide range of host species, or specialized on a
restricted range of hosts.

38
Q

what are the group of organisms that include some of the most
devastating plant pathogens.

A

oomycetes

39
Q

oomycetes that reproduce sexually (A) are named and those who reproduce asexually are named (B)

A

A oospores
B zoospores

40
Q

The diseases they cause include seedling
blights, damping-off, root rots, foliar
blights and downy mildews.

A

oomycetes

41
Q

t-f: mildew are only caused by oomycetes

A

true

42
Q

wich type of plant pathogens occurs mainly in South
America on crops such as
coffee

A

43
Q

flagellates single
celled eukaryotes are:

A

protozoa
