They are both heterotrophic
How are fungi and animals alike?
tiny hairlike structures that help ciliate move
What does cilia look like? What is its function?
whip-like structures that help flagellate move
What does flagella look like? What is its function?
1) fragmentation - pieces of hyphae are broken off a mycelium and grow into a mycelia
2) budding - individual pinches off and leaves parent
3) producing spores - most common
What are the 3 methods of asexual reproduction in fungi? Explain each.
when 2 mycelia fuse together
What is the only method of sexual reproduction in fungi? Explain.
symbiotic association between a fungus and photosynthetic green algae or an autotrophic cyanobacteria, known as "pioneer species" (first to colonize on barren land)
Definition of lichen; What are lichen known as?
thread-like fragments that develop from fungi spores; mycelium is a mass of branching, tangled hyphae
Definition of hyphae; How is hyphae related to mycelium?
black bread mold, when rhizopus pores settle on a moist piece of bread, it germinates and hyphae begins to grow
List the basic facts of Zygomycotes.
largest phylum of fungi sometimes called "sac fungi" -refers to tiny sac-like structures, in which the sexual spores of fungi develop yeasts, which are anaerobes that ferment sugars to produce carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol
List the basic facts of Ascomycotes.
mushrooms or puffballs, a mushroom is the reproductive structure of a fungus, most of the fungus is underground and not visible
List the basic facts of Basidiomycotes.
used for making antibiotics like penicilin, others make some types of cheeses, soft drinks, etc.List the basic facts of Deuteromycotes.decomposing waste, dead organisms, and debris, they break down complex organic substances into raw materials that other living organisms needWhat is the main job of fungi? What happens during this process?they form a psudopodia or "false feet," which is basically like walking but they don't have any limbsHow does an amoeba move and feed?dinoflagellates -- mostly multicellular marine seaweeds; affects the nerve cells"Red tide" is associated with what category of algae grouping together? What does red tide affect?2 flagella; cells spin slowly as flagella beat; major component of phytoplankton; some are bioluminescent; some produce toxinsKnow all characteristics/features of dinoflagellates.animal like protistWhat is a protozoan?
