1
always unicellular
protozoa
2
may be unicellular or multicellular
fungi
algae
3
always multicellular
helminths (have unicellular egg or larval forms)
4
outermost boundary that comes into direct contact with the environment
Glycocalyx
5
glycocalyx usually composed of
polysaccharides
6
Appears as a network of fibers, a slime layer, or a capsule
The Glycocalyx
7
functions of glycocalyx
Protection
Adhesion
Reception of signals
8
The layer beneath the glycocalyx varies among eukaryotes
Fungi and most algae (Describe cell wall)
thick, rigid cell wall
9
The layer beneath the glycocalyx varies among eukaryotes
protozoa and animal cells (Describe cell wall)
do not have this cell wall
10
Rigid
Provide support and shape
Different chemically from prokaryotic cell walls
cell wall
11
cell wall function
Provide support and shape
12
fungi cell wall inner layer (Describe)
Thick, inner layer of chitin or cellulose
13
fungi cell wall outer layer (Describe)
Thin outer layer of mixed glycans
14
cell wall of this organism is Varied in chemical composition
algae
15
composition of algae cell wall (4)
May contain cellulose, pectin, mannans, and minerals
16
Bilayer of phospholipids with protein molecules embedded
Cytoplasmic Membrane
17
Cytoplasmic Membrane
contains __
sterols
18
component of cytoplasmic membrane
Gives stability
Especially important in cells without a cell wall
sterol
19
Some scattered in the cytoplasm and cytoskeleton
Others associated with RER
ribosomes
20
Composed of large and small subunits of ribonucleoprotein
ribosomes
21
2 types of microscopic fungi
yeast and mold
22
types of microscopic fungi
Round oval shape
Unique mode of asexual reproduction
yeast
23
types of microscopic fungi
Long, threadlike cells
mold
24
General method of obtaining nutrition
(4)
Penetrates the substrate
Secretes enzymes
Breaks down the enzymes into small molecules
Absorbs the molecules
25
the woven, intertwining mass of hyphae that makes up the body or colony of a mold
Mycelium-
26
Unique organizational features of hyphae
divide the hyphae in to segments (most fungi- septate hyphae)
Septa
27
Unique organizational features of hyphae
one long, continuous cell
Nonseptate hyphae-
28
visible mass of growth on the substrate surface; penetrates the substrate to digest and absorb nutrients
Vegetative hyphae (mycelia)-
29
from vegetative hyphae; responsible for the production of spores
Reproductive (fertile) hyphae-
