Ch 12 Flashcards
What are the two different categories of the fungi and give examples of each?
- Unicellular (Ex: Yeast)
* Filamentous (Ex: Mold, Rust, Mushrooms)
The filaments of filamentous fungi are called?
Hyphae
What type of lifecycle to the filamentous fungi have?
Sexual and asexual life cycles
What are the two types of characteristics found among fungal hyphae?
- Septate (Have crossed walls, or septa, dividing the hyphae into cell like units)
- Coenocytic (Lack septa)
Name the two different types of hyphae?
- Ariel Hyphae (Produce spore, reproduction)
* Vegetative Hyphae (Obtain Nutrients, most grow below the surface)
What is the role or function of hyphae?
Reproduction and nutrition
Where do hyphae sprout from?
Spores
Filamentous fungi are considered to be and what do they do?
Saprophytic, they obtain their nutrients from mostly dead organic matter that they dissolve with enzymes, they don’t ingest.
Filamentous fungi are saprophytic, their digestive enzyme’s are secreted from what?
Vegetative hyphae
Example of a Conidiophore:
Penicillin
How do yeast reproduce?
- Budding and fission (They undergo mitosis followed by budding)
- Not binary fission because fission involves mitosis. Binary fission and bacteria doesn’t involve mitosis.
- You have to have a nucleus to undergo mitosis.
A fungal disease, infection, is called?
Mycosis
Arthropods
- Not my groups but can act as a factor is that carry a variety of my groups.
- Transmit a lot of infections disease.
- Eukaryotes
Helminths
Flukes
Segmented flat worms
Nematodes (Round worms) -> whip-, pin-, hook-, wiggly-
We have ______ in our cell membrane .
Cholesterol
What are the metabolism of fungi?
- Most are obligate aerobes.
* Some facultative anaerobes like yeast
Superficial cutaneous fungi, those growing on top of the skin, diseases are called?
Tineas
What are the two most common types of fungal infection (yeast infection)?
- Tinea
* Candida
Algae can be ______ but lack the complexity of plants.
Photosynthetic
Brown algae are commonly called?
Kelp
A type of aspergillus?
Conidiophore
What are the two most common type of genera of unicellular fungi?
- Candida
* Saccharomyces (Used in the fermentation industry)
How can a unicellular organism actually penetrate into a mucosa through to the submucosa?
- By a sigsetion of partial buddings to form these long appendiges called “psudohyphae”
- Never budding to completion so you don’t produce a offspring that breaks away
You have to have a ________ to undergo mitosis.
Nucleus
