Microbiology Ch 12
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| an organism that is capable of causing thrush | candida |
| a fungal infection of the skin, hair or nails. This is usually caused by dermatophytes | cutaneous |
| the body of the mold | thallus |
| spores that are within a sac until they break the sac open and are released | sporangiospores |
| the second stage of fungal sexual reproduction where the nuclie fuse | karyogamy |
| roundworms | nematodes |
| club fungi | basidiomycota |
| carbohydrate that makes up the fungal cell wall | chitin |
| the host in which asexual reproduction occurs | intermediate |
| the head of the tapeworm that attached to the intestinal wall and produces the rest of the worm | scoles |
| an air bladder that keeps algea upright in the water | pneumatocyst |
| a pathogen that can contaminate water supplies and can severe digestive system issues. It is capable of surving the normal chlorination process | cryptosporidium |
| the nucleus that is transferred from one cillate to another when conjugation is occuring | micronucleus |
| masses of intertwined hyphae. bundles of hyphae | mycelia |
| the multicellular version of fungi | mold |
| infection where the fungus usually enters through a puncture wound | subcutaneous |
| multiple rounds of mitosis with cytokinesis followed by cytokinesis. It is a sneak attack | schozogeny |
| a nematode that lives in pork and can encyst in your muscles or nervous tissue | trichinella |
| the dormat structure that allows protozoans to survive dry conditions | cyst |
| can cause paralytic shellfish poisoning and can cause red tides. | dinoflagellates |
| fungi that help plants absorb water and nutrients | mycorrhizae |
| type of funfal reproduction that occurs when conditions are bad. This produces genetic diversity and allows for evolution to occur | sexual |
| types of a sexual spores that are not contained within a sac | conidiospores |
| to determine if your child has pinworms, the sticky tape method may be used to check the ____ area for the presence of eggs. | perianal |
| the body of the tapeworm where the eggs are made | proglottid |
| the type of hyphae that secrete digestive enzymes and absorb nutrients | vegetative |
| sac fungi | ascomycota |
| the vegetative form of a protozoan | trophozoite |
| fungi are this type of heterotroph | absorptive |
| long fibers that make up this mold. This is also what the doctor will look for under the scope if he/she suspects you have a fungal infection | hyphae |
| fungal infection that is all over the body, is usually deep within the body and is generally not contagious | systemic |
| produces a greenish-yellow frothy like discharge. IT is a STD that is helping HIV spread. It does not produce cysts so it is only spread through direct contact. | trichomonas |
| symmetrical division | fission |
| flat worms | platyhelminthes |
| the sac that contains the asexual spores | sporangiophore |
| the first stage in fungal sexual reproduction where the nucleus of one hyphal segment invades the cytoplasm of another | plasmogamy |
| the most common cause of non-bacterial diarrhea in North America. | giardia |
| the third stage in fungal sexual reproduction where reduction division occurs and a lot of genetic diversity is produced | meiosis |
| an organism that carries disease from a reservoir to a new host. Arthropods are good at this | vector |
| candida albicans is this type of pathogen that takes advantage of a weakened host | opportunistic |
| a pathogenic amoeba that causes dysentery. It is spread through fecal contamination | entamoeba hystoltytica |
| the organism that causes malaria | plasmodium |
| can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning and are found in toothpaste | diatoms |
| conjugative fungi | zygomycota |
| hyphae without walls between the nuclei | coenocytic |
| can tolerate the presence or absence of oxygen ____ anaerobe | facultative |
| hyphae that have cross walls that seperate the nuclei | septate |
| the study of fungi | mycology |
| eaters of others | heterotrophs |
| get their energy from the sun and their carbon from an inorganic molecule | photoautotrophs |
| this is asymmeterical division carried out by yeast | budding |
| the type of hyphae that shoot up away from the food source and contain the reproductive structures of mold | reproductive |
| the anaerobic process that allows glycolysis to continue producing energy for the cell | fermentation |
| the term that describes how some pathogenic yeast can change from a single celled version to a multicelled version based upon the enviroment | dimorphism |
| name for fungal infections | mycoses |
| the enzyme that causes the flaking effect seen in some fungal infections | keratinase |
| the host in which sexual reproduction occurs | definitive |
| this type of fungal reproduction occurs when conditions are good and does not lead to genetic diversity. The rate of evolution is very slow during this type of reproduction if any occurs at all | asexual |
| the unicellular versions of fungi | yeast |
| reproductive structures of fungi | spores |
| approximate percentage of noscolial infections caused by fungi | ten |
