quiz 3 Flashcards
what are examples of fungi
mushrooms, toadstools, mildews, yeasts, and molds
are fungi multicellular or unicellular
most are multicellular but some are unicellular
how are fungi like animals
they are heterotrophs
how are fungi like plants
they have a cell walls are sessile
what is the morphology of a fungi
-have above ground bodies made up of hyphae
-major of organism is contained underground in the form of loose branching network of hyphae called mycelium
what is hyphae
a network of fine filaments
how do fungi feed
-they are decomposers
-hyphae grow across a food source and release digestive enzymes that break down large orangic molecules into smaller ones
-external digestion
how do fungi reproduce
-both sexually and asexually
-asexual- fragmentation (pieces of hyphae and broken off and grow into mycelia)
-reproduce- produce spores which are brown and he’ll the fungi disperse to new locations
what are the cell walls of fungi made of
chitin
are fungi prokaryotic or eukaryotic
eukaryotic
what are the general characteristics of protists
-most diverse kingdom
-all eukaryotic
-mostly unicellular aquatic organisms
-can be autotrophic or heterotrophic
-asexual production generally by binary fission
How is the kingdom protists classified
-only characteristic all protists have in common is that they are eukaryotic and NOT plants, animals, fungi, or bacteria
what are the three categories of protists
animal-like protists, plant-like protists, and fungus-like protists
what are animal-like protists
-all are heterotrophs but are unicellular
-some are pathogenic (disease causing)
-ex. amoeba and paramecium
-classified by the way they move: cilia, flagella, pseudopods
what are plant like protists
-autotrophic but have chlorophyll in their cells
-can be unicellular (euglena, diatoms) or multicellular (algae, seaweed)
-no roots, stems, or leaves, therefore not plants
