Q

Rhizopus (black bread mold) spore classification

A

Zygomycota

25
Mucor spore classification
Zygomycota - the only one known to cause infection in humans
26
Names of Ascomycota spores
Ascospores (s) | Conidia (a)
27
Known as Sac Fungi
Ascomycota
28
Ascus
Long fingerlike sac projection of spores
29
Spore classification with most human pathogens
Ascomycota
30
Club like shaped spores
Basidiomycota
31
Basidiomycota spore names
Basidiospores (s) | Conidia (a)
32
Club shaped projections along gills of mushroom cap onto which spores are attached
Basidium
33
Adverse impacts of Fungi
Mycoses, allergies, toxin production, destruction of crops
34
Beneficial impact of Fungi
Decompose dead plants and animals, source of antibiotics & vitamins, fermenting food and drinks
35
Two types of organisms under Kingdom Protista
Algae & Protozoa
36
Photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophyll
Algae
37
Produce a large amount of earth's oxygen
Algae
38
Microscopic forma of Algae can be unicellular, colonial, or filamentous
True
39
Dark staining areas in filamentous algae
Chloroplasts
40
Plankton
Important food source for organisms in water habits
41
Algae is RARELY an agent of disease in humans
True
42
Dinoflagellates
Type of algae that causes red tides that give off toxins - cause illness & infections - direct contact or through eating infected fish
43
Two stages that we see in most Protozoan life cycles
Trophozoite & Cyst
44
Mobile feeding stage of protozoa
Trophozoite
45
Dormant stage of protozoa in which shedding occurs
Cyst
46
4 classifications of Protozoan motility
1. Mastigophora 2. Sarcodina 3. Ciliophora 4. Apicomplexa
47
Flagellate protozoa
Mastigophora
48
Motile through pseudopods (amoebas)
Sarcodina
49
Protozoa which are motile through use of cilia
Ciliophora (most are harmless)
50
Parasitic protozoa with no independent means of motility
Apicomplexa
51
Parasitic Helminths
Worms - more developed multicellular organisms
52
Parasitic Helminth infections are diagnosed through
Microscopic observation of larvae and eggs
53
Two groups of parasitic helminths
Platyhelminths (flatworms) & nematodes (roundworms)
54
Subgroups of platyhelminths
- cestodes | - trematodes
55
Flatworms with no definite body cavity
Platyhelminths
56
Highly segmented platyhelminths, aka tapeworms
Cestodes
57
Non segmented platyhelminths with sucking mouthparts
Trematodes
58
Group of flatworms also known as flukes
Trematodes
59
Roundworms complex tissue & organ systems
Nematodes
