BIO205 - CH12 - The Eukaryotes - Fungi, Algae, Proto - Tortora - Rio Salado - AZ

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Name the Eukaryote microorganisms that affect humans.   Fungi, algae, protozoa, parasitic helminiths, & arthopods  
🗑
mycorrhizae   Symbiotic fungi that help plant roots absorb minerals from water & soil.  
🗑
mycology   Study of fungi  
🗑
All fungi are __.   chemoheterotrophs - require organic compunds for energy and carbon  
🗑
Fungi are __ or faculative __.   aerobic - anaerobic  
🗑
Multicellular fungi are ID'd on basis of __.   physical appearance - including colony characteristics & reproductive spores.  
🗑
Why are fungal colonies described as vegetative?   Because they are composed of cells involved in catabolism and growth.  
🗑
The __ of a mold or fleshy fungus consists of long filaments of cells joined together.   thallus (body)  
🗑
hyphae   Long filaments of cells joined together in molds and fleshy fungus.  
🗑
Cross-walls in hyphae that divide them into uninucleate (one nucleus) cell-like units.   septa  
🗑
Coenocytic hyphae lack __.   cross-walls (septa) and have long, continuous cells with many nuclei.  
🗑
Hyphae grow by __.   elongating at the tips.  
🗑
Fungi in lab are usually grown from __.   fragments obtained from a fungal thallus  
🗑
Aerial hyphae often bear __.   reproductive spores  
🗑
What type of hypha obtains nutrients?   The vegitative hypha  
🗑
mycelium   A mass of long filaments of cell that brach and intertwine in molds - visible to unaided eye.  
🗑
yeasts   Nonfilamentous, intercellular fungi that are typically spherical or oval.  
🗑
Budding yeast divide __ as parent cell forms bud on outer surface.   unevenly  
🗑
Pseudohypha in yeasts   When yeast produce bud that fails to fall away - helps to invade deeper tissues.  
🗑
How do fission yeasts divide?   By dividing evenly to produce 2 new cells.  
🗑
A budding yeast can produce up to __ daugther cells by budding.   24  
🗑
Yeast can survive in various environments why?   They are capable of faculative anaerobic growth & can use oxygen or not - respirate in oxygen or ferment carbs.  
🗑
dimorphism   Two forms of growth - fungi that can grow either as a mold or yeast.  
🗑
How does bud differ from a spore?   Spores produce vegitative aerial hyphae, while buds reproduce by budding.  
🗑
In dimorphic fungi, dimorphism is influenced by __ & __.   temperature, CO2 concentration.  
🗑
Most pathogenic species of fungi exhibit __.   dimorphism  
🗑
Fungi are usually ID'd by __.   spore type  
🗑
How do fungal spores differ from bacterial endospores?   Bacterial endospores are not reproduction & dosen't increase number of cells, but fungal spores germinate into new mold (reproduction).  
🗑
Fungi reproduce both __ & __.   asexually & sexually  
🗑
Asexual fungi spores are produced how?   Through mitosis & subsequent cell division.  
🗑
Name the 2 types of fungi asexual spores.   Conidiospore (conidium) or sporangiospore.  
🗑
Of the two fungi asexual spores, which have a sac?   Sporangiospore - can contain hundreds of sporangiospores.  
🗑
Name some reasons why fungi can grow in environments hostile to bacteria.   Can handle acidic conditions, low moisture needs, & can metabolize complex carbs.  
🗑
Zygomycota are __ fungi.   conjugation  
🗑
Ascomyocta are __ fungi.   sac - go poof at slightest disturbance.  
🗑
Basidiomycota are __ fungi.   club - mushrooms  
🗑
zygospore   large spore with thick wall  
🗑
ascocpore   Spores in sac-like structures called an ascus  
🗑
basidiospore   club-shaped spore (mushrooms)  
🗑
Teleomorphs   Fungi that produce both sexual & asexual spores.  
🗑
Anamorphs   Asexual fungi that cannot produce sexually - penicillium  
🗑
Mycosis   A fungal infection, chronic  
🗑
5 types of mycosis   Systemic, subcutaneous, cutaneous, superficial, or opportunistic.  
🗑
Why are fungal infections hard to treat in humans?   Because they are also eukaryotic & drugs that hurt them may hurt us too.  
🗑
