Protist & Fungi

Question 1

What is a protist?

Answer 1

eukaryotes
mostly unicellular
nucleus
move in moist enviornment

Question 2

Types of protists

Answer 2

animal
plant
fungus

Question 3

Animal-like protists

Answer 3

heterotrophs
classified off of movement

Question 4

Animal-like protists ex.

Answer 4

protozoans w/ pseudopod, cilia, flagella, parasites

Question 5

Amoeba

Answer 5

move off false foot
live in water
cell membrane bulges out
contractile vacoule
sticks and drags
pseudopod

Question 6

Paramecium

Answer 6

2 nucleii
contractile vacuole
binary fussion
cilia

Question 7

Giardia

Answer 7

mutalsim
flagella

Question 8

Parasites

Answer 8

follow host’s cell
have to be inside something

Question 9

Plant-like protists

Answer 9

autotrophs
unicellular or multicellular
form colonies

Question 10

Plant-like protists ex.

Answer 10

diatoms
dinoflagellates
euglenoids
red algea
green algea
brown algea

Question 11

Diatoms

Answer 11

have cell walls
unicellular
ex. toothpaste

Question 12

Dinoflagellates

Answer 12

thick plates
unicellular
2 flagellium

Question 13

Euglenoids

Answer 13

unicellular
autotrophs or hetertrophs

Question 14

Red algea

Answer 14

multicellular
red pigment is good at absorbing the tiny bit of light
stuff extracted from the algea is used in ice cream and conditioner

Question 15

Green algea

Answer 15

mostly unicellular
some form colonies

Question 16

Brown algea

Answer 16

have gas-filled sacs “bladders” cause them to float

Question 17

Fungus-like protists

Answer 17

hetertrophs
have cell walls
use spores reproduce

Question 18

Fungus-like protists ex.

Answer 18

slime-mold
water-mold
downy mildew

Question 19

Slime-mold

Answer 19

feed off of bacteria and other microorganisms
become multicellular later
release spores when close to death

Question 20

Water-molds and downy mildews

Answer 20

look like fuzz
damage crops
potato famine

Question 21

What are fungi?

Answer 21

eukaryotes
have cell walls
hetertrophs
use spores, budding, and hyphae to reproduce

Question 22

Cell structure

Answer 22

most are multicellular fungi besides yeast - unicellular
the cells are arranged in structures called hyphae
spores in gills

Question 23

Obtaining Food

Answer 23

heterotrophs - 1. hyphae grows into the food source 2. digestive chemicals ooze into food 3. chemicals break down the food into small substances that can be absorbed into the hyphae

Question 24

Reproduction

Answer 24

asexual reproduction - fruiting bodies or reproducing spores
yeast does budding

sexual reproduction - the hyphae of 2 fungi exchange genetic material

Question 25

Roles of fungi in nature

Answer 25

environmental recycling - decomposers
food - yeast, mushrooms, blue cheese
disease-fighting - penicillin
disease-causing - athlete’s foot, yeast infection, ringworm
Fungus-Plant Root Association
lichen - fungus + algea / fungus + bacteria
