13-2: Protist &Fungi

TermDefinition
Prokaryotes: (four) Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria - Bacteria and Archaea Unicellular No membrane-bound organelles DNA bunched up in the middle
Eukaryotes: (four) Domain Eukaryota -Protist, fungi, plants, animals Unicellular or Multicellular Membrane bound organelles DNA stored in the nucleus
Fungi is: Eukaryotic heterotrophs that have a cell wall
Cell walls of fungi are made of: Chitin
Chitin: A complex carbohydrate; also found in exoskeletons of arthropods Unicellular fungus example: Yeast
Multicellular fungi are composed of thin filaments called: Hyphae (singular: hypha)
Cell nuclei in the hyphae are sometimes divided into separate calls by: Septa
Septa: (singular: septum) The cross walls between fungal cells Example: the spot between nostrils in the nose
Mycelium: A large twisted mass of hyphae that absorbs food
Fruiting Body: A fungal reproductive structure - there can be multiple fruiting bodies for one mycelium, which makes them the same organism
Saprophytic Fungi: Decomposer; feeds on dead tissue or organic waste
Parasitic Fungi: Parasite; feeds on living tissue of a host
Mutualistic Fungi: Mutually beneficial relationship between a fungus and another organism
Ascomycota: (two) -Sac Fungi -The most common fungi phylum Example: Yeast & penicillium
Basidomycota: -Club fungi -These have club shaped structure Example: mushroom
Chytridiomycota: -Simple Fungi -Produces flagellated spores Example: Batrachichytrium debdrobatidis
Deuteromycota: -Imperfect Fungi -Seldom or never reproduces sexually. Asexual reproduction by vegetative growth production of asexual spires common. Appears to lack a sexual stage. Example: Aspergillus
Zygomycota: -Zygote Fungi -Thread like fungi produces spores in round spores cases called sporangium (plural : sporangia) Example: bread mold
Rhizoids: Penetrate food. Anchor the mycelium & absorb nutrients
Stolons: Grows across the surface of the food source & forms mycelium
Sporangia: Gross up & is filled with spores. Protect the spores.
Fungi reproduce asexually by: (three) Fragmentation Budding Producing spores
Fragmentation: Parts of fungus “break off” and grow into nes colonies
Budding: -Cell on parent becomes a new individual -Typically only seen in unicellular fungi, like yeast
Spores: -special hyphae grow upward to form sporangia that are filled with asexual spores -Spores are moved by animals, water, and wind •the more spores the better their survival -Fungi produces spores by meiosis or mitosis
Sexual reproduction: -parts of mating strains fuse to form a new organism - may lead to new combinations or genes in spores found in sporangium
Fungal Homeostasis -Fungi live moist environments to maintains homeostasis -the membrane of a cell helps with regulating water and nutrient flow into and out of the cell

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
