Cards

Term
hydrogenosome
Definition
carries out anaerobic redox reaction to produce H2 and acetate
seen in anaerobic eukaryotic microbes
Term
kinetoplast
Definition
independently replicating
disk-shaped mass of circular mitochondrial DNA
found inside large mitochondria
seen only in kinetoplastea protozoa
associated with basal body of flagella
Term

Definition
organelles of photosynthesis in plants/algae
dual membrane

photosynthetic
Term
metaphase 1 of meiosis
Definition
chromosomes line up on mid-cell plate in tetrads
for each homologous chromosome pair, one is attached to each opposite pole
Term
telophase of mitosis
Definition
membranes form around daughter nuclei and DNA becomes less compact
cell division occurs here
Term
mitosis prophase
Definition
DNA replicated
DNA condenses into visible chromosomes
nuclear membrane breaks down
Term
mitosis anaphase
Definition
chromosomes break into 2 identical chromatids
pulled to opposite poles
Term
meiosis anaphase 1
Definition
tetrads break up
homologous chromosomes are seperated, move to opp poles
forms 2 haploid nuclear regions
Term
mitosis metaphase
Definition
chromosomes line up on mid-cell plate attaced to spindle fibers to both poles
Term
interphase
Definition
time between cell division
Term
mitosis telophase
Definition
nuclear membrane reappears around chromosomes
cytoplasm divides along the mid cell plate
Term
algae
Definition
cell walls composed of cellulose
photosynthetic
most have mitochondria
most are aerobic
Term
euglenophyta
Definition
euglena
no cell wall
thick flexible membrane

green algae
cell walls are cellulose
actually are plants
Term
chrysophyta
Definition
diatoms
cell walls contain glass-like silicates
golden-brown color
Term
pyrrophyta
Definition
dinoflagellates
2 flagella
produce toxins

not photosynthetic
chemoheterotrophs
Term
conidiospores
Definition
fungus
asexual
break off from end of hypha
Term
sporangiospores
Definition
asexual spores
develop in a sac
Term
ascospores
Definition
sexual spores
develop in a sac
produced by meiosis

basidiospores
Definition
club-shaped cells found on gills of mushrooms and toadstools
develops from dikaryotic mycelium
Term
zymcota
Definition
molds like rhizopus
reproduce asexually by sporangiospores
Term
lichens
Definition
community of microorganisms
forms from symbiosis between fungus and green algae/cyanobacteria
Term
saccharomyces cerevisiae
Definition
yeast
used to make beer
grows fastest in presence of air
carries out alcohol fermentation in absence of air
Term
candida albicans
Definition
yeast
normal flora of human gut
overgrowth causes thrush
does not make ascospores
Term
penicillum chrysogenum
Definition
mold
used to produce penicillin
grows fastest on glucose
produces asexual conidiospores
