Term
Phylum Mastigophora or Zoomastigina
Definition
Move by whiplike flagella - paranema, trypanosomes (sleeping sickness), Terminte Symbiots, Garia, Trichomonas
Term
Phylum Ciliophora
Definition
Move by means of tiny, hairlike cilia, have a macronucleus and a micronucleus or they have a "chain neucleus" - Paramecium, Vorticella, Stentor
Term
Phylum Sarcodina or Rhizophoda
Definition
Move or feed with pseudopodia or axipodia, includes the amoeba like protozoans - amoeba, entamoeba, histolytica, radiolarian, and foraminiferans.
Term
Phylum Phaeophyta
Definition
"Brown algae" - most complex colonial alga with some division of labor and are usually know as the "Seaweeds". All are marine. Kelp, rockweed, etc... Algin is an extract ofthe brown alga which is used as a "stabalizer" in many foods like ice cream and canned soup.
Term
Phylum Rhodophyta
Definition
"Red algae" most are marine. Irish moss is one example. Rhodopsin is an extract of these alga and is used to make agar (a bacteria growth median).
Term
Phylum Pyrrophyta or Dinoflagellata
Definition
"Fire Algae" or dinoflagellates. Sometimes called the "red tide" organisms. They exhibit bioluminesense.
Term
Phylum Chrystophyta or Bacillariophyta
Definition
"Golden brown algae" (Diatoms) - most are univellular and some are fillamentous. Diatoms produce time silica (glass) boxes called frustules. Diatoms are the number one primary producers on earth and are responsible for 80% of the air. Vaucheria and Taballaria are fillamentous types.
Term
Phylum Euglenophyta
Definition
Euglena - unicellular, flagellated green algae which can be "plant like" or "animal like".
Term
Phylum Chlorophyta
Definition
"green algae" - Spyrogyra, Volvox, Protococcus, Desmids, Oedogonium, Ulva(Sea Lettuce). Most are freshwater.
Term
Algae or Phytoplankton
Definition
Unicellular or colonial, "plant like".
Term
Kingdom Protista
Definition
Eukaryotic, unicellular, and colonial. Includes the angae (or phytoplankton) and Protozoan (or zooplankton) and slime molds.
Term
1. The cap of the mushroom
2. The point at which the mushroom cap tore from the stem.
3. The stem of the mushroom
4. The underside of the cap
5. The 'sac' it came from.
Definition
1. Pileus
2. Annulus
3. Stipe
4. Gills or Pores
5. Vulva
Term
Phylum Deuteromycetes
Definition
The "fungi imperfecti" - many examples lack a sexual reproductions patter. Athletes foot and Ringworm.
Term
Phylum Basidiomycetes
Definition
"Club Fungi" - Spores born on club-like basidi. Pore fungi, gill fungi are two basics. Mushrooms, toad stools, puffballs, bracket or shelf fungi, "earth stars", rust, smuts.
Term
Phylum Ascomycetes
Definition
"Sac Fungi" spores are born into sac like ascus. Truffles, Morels, cup fungi, yeasts. Found in lichens, mildews.
Term
Phylum Phycomycetes or Zygomycota
Definition
Algae like fungi - bread mold, water mold, ichth, tail rot, mycorniza.
Term
Kingdom Fungi
Definition
1. Eukaryotic with chitinous cell wall.
2. Most live off the dead or waste products or are parasitic.
3. Many are decomposers.
4. Body of the fungus is the mycelium made of thread-like or hair-like hyphae.
Term
Phylum myxomycophora or Myxomycetes
Definition
Slime Molds - exhibit and "animal like" plasmodium stage and a "plant and fungus like" sporangial stage. An amoeboid spiderweb.
Term
Phylum Sporozoa
Definition
Parasites - they have no real means of locomotion in mature stage - all parasitic with insent vectors. Parasites hosts are either primary host or secondary host. Examples of these causing human disease is Plasmodium which cause Malaria
