fungi Flashcards
During conjugation, what combines to form a new macronucleus in a recently conjugated paramecium?
2 micronuclei
(1 was its original and 1 is from the other protist)
What is the cellularity of most protists?
unicellular
What is the cup shaped structure calle of ascomycetes?
ascocarp
During alternation of generations, which generation is diploid?
sporophyte generation
Which protist is this?
Euglena
plant-like
Euglenophyta
What type of environments are ideal for protists?
Moist
freshwater, blood or marine environments
Where does the protista kingdom fall within the evolutionary tree?
During alternation of generations, what do the haploid spores create during periods of environmental stress?
male and female gametophytes
(haploid spores divide by mitosis into haploid gametophytes)
For both sexual and asexual reproduction in zygomycetes, what is formed that creates and releases spores?
sporangia (sporangium is singular)
What is the body of the fungus called?
mycelium
During alternation of generations, what is the result of male and female gametes fusing together?
Zygote
(haploid gamete + haploid gamete = diploid zygote)
During reproduction with gametes, + and - gametes fuse to form a _____
zygote with hardens into a zygospore
Which protists are multicellular?
Phaeophyta
Rhodophyta
Chlorophyta
Which protist is this?
Difflugia
Animal-like
Sarcodina
In a mycorrhizal relationship, a fungus forms a growth with _____.
plant roots
What are the cells called that line the ascocarp in ascomycetes and that make the spores during sexual reproduction?
asci (ascus is the single form)
Which protist is this?
Paramecium
Animal-like
Ciliophora
During alternation of generations, what does the haploid gametophyte generation create during periods of environmental stress?
gametes
(by mitosis therefore they are haploid)
What type of protist undergoes reproduction with gametes?
Chlamydomonas
(unicellular)
Which protists are generally parasitic?
Sporozoans
During alternation of generations, what does the diploid zygote become when conditions become favorable once again?
sporophyte
(diploid zygote divides by mitosis into a diploid sphorophyte)
Which protist is this?
Didinium
Animal-like
Ciliophora
What type of nucleus is exchanged during conjugation?
micronucleus
Which type of fungal infections targets the skin?
superficial (generally caused by deuteromycetes)
Which protista phylum is most similar to present day simple plants?
Chlorophyta
Which protist is this?
Euplotes
Animal-like
Ciliophora
Why is the meaning behind the chlorophyta phlum name?
composed of chloroplasts and chloroplyll
What type of sexual reproductive process involves the exchanging of DNA?
conjugation
Which two protist diseases are caused by sporozoans?
Malaria
Giardiasis
Which type of infections target the tissues and organs of the body?
systemic
