BIOL 113 MICROBES Exam Questions and Answers| New Update with 100% Correct Answers
What are the five main phyla of fungi Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, Glomeromycota,
Zygomycota, Chytridiomycota
Features of the Basidiomycota club fungus, gills and a stalk, most infamous
Features of the Ascomycota spores with sacs, yeasts, parasitizes insects
features of the Glomeromycota Mycorrhizal fungus, symbiosis with plant roots, soil borne
Features of the Zygomycota Includes bread mold, full of spores, has hyphae with
sporangium on top
Features of Chytridiomycota simple fungi, 500 million years old, circles that parasitize
unifying characteristics of eukaryotes cells with a nuclei, mitochondria, cytoskeleton of
microtubules and microfilaments, flagella and cilia, mitosis, sexual reproduction, cell walls
what are protists? eukaryotes that are not part of the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms
why are protists 'embedded in the tree of life' there is no one point where we can point out
where protists evolved
Name three protists Acanthamoebae, Dictyostelium, Paramecium
what makes Acanthamoebae a good model organism classic amoeba, fully sequenced,
common terrestrially and aquatically, opportunistic pathogen, genetically tractable,
bacteriophage,
, what makes Dictyostelium a good model organism community and sacrificial - (slugs and
stalks), terrestrial, no pathogenicity, good cooperators - (found in soils)
what makes Paramecium a good model organism cilia mobility, found in marine and
brackish environments, feeds a lot
what protist is responsible for kauri dieback phytophthora agithadicida
what makes a positive gram stain dyes get caught (thick peptidoglycan layer) - purple
what makes a negative gram stain the dyes don't stain (thick membrane layer) - pink
how many bacterial cells do humans have 30 trillion or 50%
shapes of bacteria rod, spherical, spiral
microbiome the collection of bacteria in the digestive system and closely associated with a
host
what three things enable microbial evolution multiplication, heredity, variation
what is horizontal gene transfer the movement of genes from one genome to another
what three ways does horizontal gene transfer occur? tranformation, transduction and
conjugation
