UNIT IV-C Flashcards
An alga that infects potato crops
Phytopthora infestants
Five Eukaryotic organisms that affect humans
- fungi
- Algae
- Protozoa
- parasitic helminths
- Arthropods
Life cycle of parasitic helminths
Egg, larva, and adult
Animals with jointed legs
Arthropods
Arthropods that transmit infectious diseases
Vectors
Is the study of fungi
Mycology
Help their roots absorb minerals and water from the soil
Mychorrhizae
Fungi for food
Mushroom
Fungi to produce foods
Bread and citric acid
Fungi to produce drug
Alcohol and penicillin
Cell wall of fungi
Chitin
Cell wall of bacteria
Peptidoglycan
Cell type of fungi
Eukaryotic
Cell type of bacteria
Prokaryotic
Two types of hyphae
- Septate hyphae
- Coenocytic hyphae
Hyphae contain cross wall
Septate hyphae
Cross-wall that divide them into cell-like units
Septa
Hyphae contain no or lack septa
Coenocytic hyphae
Hyphae grow by
Elongating at the tips
Thallus means
Body
Long filamentous of cells joined together
Hyphae
Mass of hyphae
Mycelium
The portion of hyphae that obtains nutrients
Vegetative hypha
The portion concerned with reproduction; bears reproductive spores
Reproductive or Aerial Hypha
Frequently found as a white powdery coating on fruits and leaves
Yeast
Divide unevenly
Budding yeasts
Divide evenly to produce two new cells
Fission yeasts
Buds that fail to detach themselves
Pseudohypha
Attaches to humans epithelial cells as a yeasts, requires pseudohypha to invade deeper tissues
Candida albicans
Two forms of growth
- Moldlike growth
- Yeastlike growth
Growth that produce vegetative and aerial hypha; 25°C
Moldlike growth
Growth that reproduce by budding; 37°C
Yeastlike growth
Are formed by the hyphae of one organism
Asexual spores
Result from the fusion of nuclei from two opposite mating strains of the same species of fungus
Sexual spores
Two types of asexual spores
- Conidiospores
- Sporangiospores
Three kinds under conidiospores
- Arthroconidia
- Blastoconidia
- Chlamydoconidia
