Morphological classification of fungi includes
Viruses and bacteria
Yeasts molds and dimorphic fungi
Protozoa only
Helminths only
Yeasts are characterized by
Filamentous hyphae
Budding cells
Spore chains only
No cell wall
Example of yeast is

Aspergillus fumigatus
Penicillium notatum
Rhizopus
Molds are characterized by
Budding reproduction
Unicellular structure
Filamentous hyphae only
No mycelium
Example of mold is
Cryptococcus
Histoplasma
Rhizopus
Candida
Dimorphic fungi exist as
Yeast at 25°C and mold at 37°C
Mold at both temperatures
Yeast at both temperatures

Culture of fungi
Culture of viruses
Culture of parasites
pH of SDA is
Neutral
Alkaline
Acidic (~5.6)
Highly acidic (<3)
SDA inhibits bacterial growth due to
High salt
Low temperature
Acidic pH

Antibiotics added to SDA include
Penicillin only
Chloramphenicol only
Gentamicin and chloramphenicol
Vancomycin only
Antigen–antibody reaction is best described as
Irreversible reaction
Non-specific reaction
Specific and reversible reaction
Enzymatic reaction
For antigen–antibody reaction to occur
Antigen must be protein only
Antibody must be IgG only
Specificity between antigen and antibody is required
High temperature is required
Strength of antigen–antibody reaction depends on
Avidity and affinity
pH only
Temperature only
Ionic strength only
Affinity refers to
Overall strength of binding
Strength of single binding site
Number of binding sites
Valency only
Avidity refers to
Strength of one epitope
Overall strength of antigen–antibody interaction
Antibody concentration only
Antigen size only
Precipitation reaction occurs with
Particulate antigens
Soluble antigens only
Cells only
RBCs only
Agglutination reaction occurs with
Soluble antigens
Particulate antigens
Toxins only
Haptens only
ELISA is based on
Precipitation
Agglutination
Enzyme-linked antigen–antibody reaction
Complement fixation
