Protists and Fungi
Eukaryotes: Protists and Fungi
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are fungi’s cell wall made of? | chitin |
| When do fungi form diploid cells? | form diploid cells only during sexual reproduction |
| What is the advantage of reproducing asexual? | asexual reproduction is faster than sexual reproduction |
| How do algae reproduce? | Both sexual and asexual reproduction |
| Why are algae considered plant-like? | because they contain chloroplasts and produce food through photosynthesis. |
| How are protozoa classified? | classified on the basis of how they move. |
| Why are protozoa considered animal-like? | because they are heterotrophs, and are capable of moving. |
| a kingdom whose members include mushrooms | fungi |
| a diploid spore formed by fusion of two haploid cells | zygospore |
| the material that makes up the cell wall of fungi | chitin |
| the material that makes up the cell wall of plants | cellulose |
| a mass of fungal hyphae | mycelium |
| a form of asexual reproduction in yeast | budding |
| a reproductive cell specialized for dispersal and survival in harsh environmental conditions | spore |
| The thread-like filaments of fungi are called | hyphae. |
| animal-like protists | protozoa |
| multicellular seaweed | kelp |
| fungus-like protist typically found on decaying organic matter such as rotting logs | Slime molds |
| an organism that uses flagella for motility | flagellate |
| an organism that uses psuedopods for motility | amoeboid |
| an organism that uses cilia for motility | Ciliate |
| type of protozoa that cannot move in the adult stage | Sporozoan |
| plant-like protists | Algae |
| an organism that gets food from dead organic matter | decomposers |
| Water molds are | a type of fungus-like protist. |
| Slime molds will start to swarm when | food is scarce. |
| What are Fungus-like protists cell walls made of? | Made of cellulose. |
| The fusion of two Spirogyra spores to form a diploid zygote is an example of | sexual reproduction |
| According to the endosymbiotic theory, eukaryotic cells evolved from______________ | prokaryotic cells |
| How does protist take in food? | Ingest, Absorb, Photosynthetic |
| How does protist reproduce? | Both asexually and sexually |
| List all the ways protist move: | flagella, cilia, pseudopods |
| Why do they call the Protista the “trash can” kingdom? | Because It includes all eukaryotes that don’t fit in one of the other three eukaryote kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, or Fungi. |
| How long ago did fungi evolved | at least 600 million years ago |
