unicellular and microscopic
multicellular and microscopic
photosynthetic and unicellular
None of the answer choices is correct
The ____ algae are thought to be closely related to the first plants because they share most of the characteristics of plants.
brown
red
green
pink
Members of which genus of algae are found in ponds and have chloroplasts that are arranged in a spiral?
Spirogyra
Euglena
Chlamydomonas
Volvox
Which is an example of an alga?
amoebae
slime molds
diatoms
ciliates
Which protist is NOT correctly linked to the type of movement it shows?
amoeboids-pseudopodia
ciliates-cilia
Euglena-pseudopod
Paramecium-cilia
Which of the following organisms move about by means of pseudopodia?
trypanosome
amoeba proteus
chlamydomonas
paramecium caudatum
The kingdom ____ are characterized by having filaments called hyphae that are used to absorb nutrients.
archaea
protista
fungi
animalia
plantae
Molds (except slime and water molds) and mushrooms belong to the kingdom
protists
fungi
plantae
animalia
An organism that will feed on dead plants, animals, and microbes are called
autotrophic
heterotrophic
saprotrophs
parasitic
____ are organisms that break down dead organic matter in order to absorb the nutrient molecules.
eukaryotes
parasites
saprotrophs
heterotrophs
____ are mostly saprotrophic decomposers that assist in recycling of nutrients in ecosystems.
algae
fungi
protozoans
ciliates
In what way are fungi like heterotrophic bacteria?
They both produce gametes.
They are both heterotrophic and play an important role in ecosystems.
They both have cell walls of the same material.
They are both photosynthetic and thus are producers.
They are both eukaryotic.
At one time, biologists thought that fungi were merely forms of plants that had lost their chlorophyll and had returned to saprotrophy to gain food. Why is this no longer considered a solid theory?
Fungal cell walls contain chitin rather than cellulose.
Fungi attack and engulf food for internal digestion.
Fungi have flagella at some stage, providing mobility that plants never have.
Plants are multicellular and fungi are unicellular or multinucleated noncellular plasmodia.
Plants store glycogen, while fungi store starch.
Fungi are NOT photosynthetic because they lack
xylem
cell walls
chloroplasts
cell membrane
A chain of asexual spores produced by a sac fungus is called
a mycelium
a conidia
a ascospore
a basidiospore
The mycelium is a mesh of filaments, each of which is called
a conidium
an ascospore
a basidiospore
a hypha
When the cap of an average gilled mushroom is cut off and shaken, a cloud of powdery material is released. The material released are
mycelia
sporangia
hyphae
spores
seeds
Amoebae
have pseudopodia
have a nucleus
are heterotrophic
all of the above
only 1 and 3 are true
Diatoms
are unicellular algae will glassy cell walls
have pseudopodia
are excavates
all the above
only 1 and 2 are true
Euglena
is an excavate
is a chromalveolate
has an eyespot
all of the above
Lichens
are a symbiotic relationship between alga and fungus
thrive in areas of high pollution
cause the flavors in blue cheese
are important when making bread
