Lecture 18 Flashcards
(39 cards)
Algea
They are all photosynthetic. Have green, brown, and red photosynthetic pigments. Motile ones have flagella. They produce by binary fission, meiosis and gamete production.
Dinoflagellate/ Red Tide
The water turns red. It is a type of environmental toxin. Neurotoxins are released by exocytosis. The type of environmental toxin in brevetoxin.
Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning
Environmental toxin is saxitoxin. Damages the Na+ channels and causes numbness and paralysis.
Pfiesteria
Type of environmental toxin. Becomes a zoospore in the presence of fish. Releases a very deadly necrotizing toxin. It eats through fish.
Protozoa
Do not do photosynthesis. Lack chlorophyll. Distinguished by how they move.
Flagellate
Type of protozoa. Move by flafella. Types- Giardia, Leishmania(carried by sand flies- damages skin or organs), Trichomonas, Trypanosoma(sleeping sickness disease)
Amoeba
Type of protozoa. More by cytoplasmic streaming. There is a tube in the middle and it squeezes through it to move. Type- Entamoeba histolytic
Ciliate
Type of protozoa. Black microvilli in the intestines. type- Balantidium coli(colonic ulcers and dysentery)
Sporozoan
Type of protozoa. They have an apicomplex. types- malaria, toxoplasma, cryptosporidium.
Apicomplex
Attaches to the host cell membrane. Pulls the membrane around themselves. Helps protozoa attach to, move over and penetrate a host cell
Endocytosis
Proteins come in the sporozoan by endocytosis.
Trophozoite
Motile form of apicomplex
Cyst
“Tests” amoebia of apicomplex
Schizogony
Where a cell divides multiple times. The cell the cell that divides multiple times is called a syncytium and each section of that is cell is called merozoites, Each merozoite has its own nucleus.
Fungi
They are saprophytes(they hydrolytic enzymes”eat dead stuff”) Multiple different types-yeast,mold,mushrooms, and dimorphic fungus.
Yeast
Single celled form. Grows in warm temps. Divide by fission or by bidding.
Mold
Filamentous (hyphal) form. Grows best in cold temps. Form spores, but theses are not like bacteria spores.
Mushroom
Visible aerial myxelium with spores
Dimorphic Fungus
Many fungi are dimorphic. Like yeast and mold.
Zygomycetes
Two mating types grow together to form a zygosporangium. Type of fungi. Haploid cells that fuse together to for diploid cells.
Ascomycetes
Type of fungi. Ascospores form at the end of a filament. Structure is diploid cells and the cells at the end ate haploid.
Basidiomycetes
Type of fungi. Reproduction structure is the mushroom. Haploid cells under the cap of the mushroom.
Ergot
Type of fungal toxin. It is from rye smut
Aflatoxin
Type of fungal toxin. Carcinogenic toxin from aspergillus
