(40 cards)
What disease does diplococcus pneumoniae produce?
pneumonia, ear infection, and meningitis.
What form does diplococcus pneumoniae take?
coccus (sphere) shaped
What disease doe borelia burgdorferi cause?
Lyme disease
What form does borelia burgdorferi take?
spiral or spirillium shaped
What disease does clostridium botulinum cause?
botulism, which interferes with nerve impulses
What form does lostridium botulinum take?
bacillus shaped
What do cyanobacteria lack?
Chloroplasts
How do cyanobacteria photosynthesize?
They use oxygenic photosynthesis by changing atmospheric concentration of O2
Are bacteria colonial?
Yes, because each part of the colony provide for themselves.
How are anabaena able to fix nitrogen?
Use the heterocysts
How can oscillatoria move?
By using motor proteins to glide without flagella
what are some important characteristics of plasmodial slime mold?
Produce by gametes or alteration of generations, heterotrophic by phagocytosis, no flagella or biflagellate gametes
What are important characteristics of lobose amoebae?
Produce asexually by mitosis, heterotrophic by phagocytosis of bacteria and fungi, no flagella
What are two characteristics that are shared among all the amoebozoa?
Both heterotrophic, don’t have flagellum
What is special about zygomycota?
Produce sexually and asexually by meiosis from zygosporangie, heterotrophic by absorption, no flagella
What is special about ascomycota?
Produce sexually and asexually by meiosis forming asci, heterotrophic by absorption, no flagella
What is special about yeast?
Asex by budding, sex is zygote meiosis, forming asci, heterotrophic by absorption, no flagella
What is special about basidiomycota?
Asex and sex by zygotic meiosis forming basidia, heterotrophic by absorption, no flagella
What is special about red algae?
Asex by fragmentation, sex by alteration of generations, autoytophic by photosynthesis, no flagella
What is special about mixed algae?
Asex by mitosis and fragmentation, sex by alteration of generations, autotroph by photosynthesis, two anterior flagella or none
What is special about volvox?
2 flagella, connected through cytoplasmic struts, produces daughter colonies that develop within the parent colony and digest a pathway out to swim away
What is special about bryophytes?
Asex by fragmentation, sex by alt of gen, autotrophic by photosynthesis, two anterior flagella or none
What is special about ferns?
Asex by fragmentation, sex by alt of gen, autotrophic by photosynthesis, two anterior flagella on sperm or none, true vascular tissue
What is special about gymnosperms?
vascular tissue, asex by spindin, sex by alt of gen, autotrophic by photosynthesis, two anterior flagella on sperm or none
