| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the growth requirements for Fungi concerning air/oxygen, nutrition, and pH requirements | All fungi are aerobic, saprophytic, and like low pH |
| What is saprophytic. . . | any organism that lives on dead organic matter, as certain fungi and bacteria |
| Morphology: Growth in filaments, what are the filaments called, singular v plural? plural v many? | called hypha (one strand)- plural=hyphae. many hyphae = mycelium |
| nonseptae fungi: | no division of cell walls |
| septate fungi: | division of cell walls |
| reproduction of fungi | fungi reproduce by spores (countless possibilities). such include, asexual, sexual types |
| Asexual reproduction of fungi | Sporangiospore, conidiospore, chalamydospore, bastospore. |
| Sexual reproduction of fungi | ascospore, basidiospore, zygospore. |
| Asexual reproduction: sporangiospore. | spores inside the sac. |
| Asexual reproduction: conidiospores (organisms too) | no sac, on the outside of bud..... common though mainly: penicillium and aspergillus form these |
| Asexual reproduction: chlamydospore | form in the hypha |
| Asexual reproduction: blastospore | cant tell the difference between budding and blastospore |
| Sexual reproduction: ascospore | spur inside a sac that are caused by sexual hypha come togeather. |
| Haploid | one set of chromosomes |
| diploid | two sets of chromosomes |
| Meiosis | creats from one pair of chromosomes four sets of haploid gamets |
| sexual reproduction: basidiospore | four spores (four gametes) end of the hypha |
| sexual reproduction: zygospore | two hypha come together. They form some sort of extention that comes together and forms a spur or a zygospore |
| Classification of Fungi: What are the four types of fungi? | Ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, Zygomycetes, deuteromycetes |
| Classification of Fungi: Ascomycetes | Are, asexual spores, usually a canidiospore but others are used. sexual spores are only ascospores EX> Saccharomyces (a yeast that produces ascospore) |
| Classification of Fungi: Basidiomycetes | Asexual spores-many sexual spores-basidiospore EX>mushrooms, amanita (poisonous) and aguricus (edible) |

| Plant Viruses (1) and describe it. | Tobacco mosaic virus. Helical structure. Core RNA. Infects tomato and tobacco (spots on the leaves) |
| Bacterial viruses: go through the cycle ending with lyses | Normal cell cycle, infection, absorption, injection, latent period, eclipse period, rise period, lysis and it thus continues. |
| Bacterial viruses: go through cycle including lysogenic cycle | Normal cell cycle, infection, absorbion, injection, Lysogenic cycle significant because virus becomes prophage(for who knows how long), induction (virus DNA becomes virulent), latent period, eclipse period, rise period, lysis.... infection. |

| Lysis | bacteria blows up, releasing up to 100 bacteria at a time |
| induction is caused by what? | uv light or enviornmental stress |
| Control of microorganisms. | Doesnt necessarely mean kill, but find a way to control killing due to protein denaturing |
| humans and animals dont have lysis, they have... | budding. virus comes down, infects cell, lots of viruses are then created, viruses escape and dont kill cell. Cell repairs itself after all viruses are gone. |
| Control of microorganisms: physical ways would be | heat, Low temperature, drying, radiation, osmotic pressure |
| Control of microorganisms: physical: HEAT: types of... | Moist heat, autoclaving, fractional sterilization, pasteurization, dry heat |

| Control of microorganisms: physical: Osmotic pressure (1) | Salt is a preservative so it drys out the cell |
| Disinfectant | This kills cells of pathogens |
| germocide | this is same as disinfectant |
| Antiseptic | this stops growth of cells, not death. Such as mouth wash |
| Phenol coefficient | phenol will kill just about everything. Thus comparing a disinfectant will give a good judge. P.C. = (Dilution of TEst)/(Dilution of phenol).... Killing time must be between 5-10 min. PC > 1 test is better. PC < 1 phenol is better |
