Q

what are fungi cell walls made of

17
Q

what do multicellular fungi have a body organised into

A

mycelium made of thread-like structures called hyphae which contain many nuclei

18
Q

how do fungi obtain food

A

secreting digestive enzymes on to food material and absorbing all organic products (saprophytic nutrition)

19
Q

what do fungi store carbohydrates as

20
Q

how do fungi reproduce

21
Q

fungi examples

A

yeast, mushroom

22
Q

are protoctista uni or multicellular

23
Q

pathogenic protoctista example

A

plasmodium, responsible for causing malaria

24
Q

are bacteria uni or multicellular

25
what are bacteria cell walls made of
murin
26
how do bacteria obtain food
- from other living organisms, either as parasites or by causing decomposition - some contain chlorophyll so can carry out photosynthesis - most bacteria feed off dead organisms - decomposers - some will feed off living organisms
27
do bacteria have a nucleus
no, they have a loop of DNA instead
28
bacteria examples
lactobacillus, pneumococcus
29
how do viruses reproduce
inside a host cell
30
what is a viruses cellular structure
no cellular structure but do contain a loop of DNA or RNA inside a protein coat
31
nucleus or cytoplasm in a virus?
none
32
virus examples
influenza, HIV, measles, polio
33
how do viruses work?
1. enters the host cell 2. takes over the hosts genetic machinery to make more virus particles 3. host cell dies, particles are released to infect more cells 4. usually, the body's immune system destroys the virus and the person recovers
