Chara Fungi associate with _____ to form lichens. green algae Diatoms share a more recent common ancestor with dinoflagellates than with water molds. (true or false) false Which is NOT part of the correct description of a protozoan? Protozoans may be heterotrophic, motile, and eukaryotic. They are not multicellular Which of the characteristic(s) apply to the Supergroup Archaeplastida? All of the characteristics apply. Archaeplastida contain plastids, are unicellular and multicellular, and include land plants and green algae Protists which combine autotrophic and heterotrophic nutritional modes are termed: mixotrophic Slime molds, found in the Supergroup Amoebozoa, were once classified as fungi. What characteristics of the slime molds distinguish them from fungi? Slime molds lack cell walls, are flagellated cells at certain stages of the life cycle and the vegetative state of the slime mold is mobile and amoeboid. All of these characteristics distinguish slime molds from fungi. rown algae store their reserve food as _____. laminarin Protist reproduction rotist reproduction may be asexual or any of these sexual cycles Supergroup Opisthokinta includes all of the following organisms EXCEPT: animals, fungi, plants,and choanoflagellates Supergroup Opisthokinta includes all of the following organisms except plants. It includes animals, fungi, and choanoflagellates red tide in the ocean is caused by an increase in the number of _____. dinoflagellates Protists are _____. of two types; some are unicellular, others are multicellular Plankton are freshwater or marine organisms that are suspended on or near the surface of water. Which of the following depend on pseudopods for locomotion? ameboids What type of life cycle is this (shown at right)? haploid The various forms of algae are NOT considered plants because they lack plant structures such as true roots, stems, and leaves and do not produce embryos. A reproductive structure that produces spores by meiosis is called a _____. sporangium _________ is a mixotrophic protozoan that is able to combine autotrophic and heterotrophic nutritional modes. Euglena is a mixotrophic protozoan that is able to combine autotrophic and heterotrophic nutritional modes Dikaryotic cells of fungi Dikaryotic cells of fungi contain paired haploid nuclei that fail to fuse for an extended period of time. They are not just another form of haploid cells In differentiating fungi from plants and animals, which of the following statements is NOT true? t is true that animals are heterotrophic by ingestion while fungi are heterotrophic by absorption. It is not true that the energy reserve of fungi is starch while the energy reserve of animals is glycogen. The energy reserve of fungi is glycogen. The organism pictured at below is a shelf fungus. A(n) _____ fungus is the source of the antibiotic penicillin. sac During zygospore asexual reproduction, all structures involved are _____. haploid Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi invade plant roots, with some species forming mutualistic associations that benefit both the fungus and the plant. (true or false) It is true that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi invade plant roots, with some species forming mutualistic associations that benefit both the fungus and the plant. ome fungi and bacteria act as _____ and keep chemicals cycling through the ecosystems. decomposers The fruiting body of the sac fungi is called the _____. ascocarp Which of the following structures are NOT involved in sexual reproduction? Conidia are not involved in sexual reproduction ungal cells have a cell wall containing _____. chitin Many human diseases caused by sac fungi are acquired from the environment. (True or false) True Club and Sac fungi are more closely related than Club fungi and Zygospore fungi. (T or F) Club and Sac fungi are more closely related than Club fungi and Zygospore fung Types of lichens include _____. All of these Photosynthesis is done by the _____ component of lichen. cyanobacterium An asexual spore produced by a sac fungus or club fungus is called a(n) conidiospore. When asci swell they release _____, which can be windblown to other locations. ascospores he difference between septate hyphae and nonseptate hyphae is determined by whether the hyphae have cross walls or lack cross walls. The organism pictured at below is a cup fungus. AM fungi are more closely related to Sac than Club fungi. (T or F) False Fungi are thought to have been the first kind of eukaryotic cells that evolved. ( T or F) False The _____ produced by yeast during fermentation causes bread to rise. CO2 Which of the fungal groups is mismatched with the asexual spore produced? None are mismatched. They are all correctly matched. Ascomycota and Basidiomycota produce conidiospores, Zygomycophyta produces sporangiospores, and Chytrids produce zoospores Club fungi produce fruiting bodies called _____. basidiocarps Historians believe that the people who accused their neighbors of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts in the 1600's may have been suffering from ____________ poisoning. Ergot The part of a mushroom that we eat is usually the reproductive structure that supports the fruiting body. (T or F) True The term "dikaryotic" is based on the Greek root words meaning two nuclei Fungal infections are difficult to treat because fungal and human cells are so similar that it is difficult to make fungal medications that do not harm human cells. All fungi share a common ancestor. ( T or F) True One of the long, branching filaments that collectively make up the mycelium of a fungus is called a(n) hypha There are no fungi that _____. Do photosynthesis A sexual spore produced by a sac fungus is called a(n) ascospore. Which of the following statements about mycorrhizae is/are true?
