EUKARYOTIC MICROORGANISMS
AND VIRUSES FINAL PAPER WITH
ACCURATE ANSWERS
◉Groups of Eukaryotic microorganisms . Answer: Fungi, protozoa,
algae, and helminths.
◉Eukaryotic microorganisms differentiation . Answer: By cellular
structure, reproduction, life cycle, and multicellularity.
◉Multicellular eukaryotic microorganisms . Answer: Some fungi and
all helminths.
◉Eukaryotic organisms that can infect humans . Answer: Fungi,
protozoa, and helminths.
◉Sexual vs. asexual reproduction . Answer: Sexual uses gametes for
genetic recombination; asexual does not involve gametes.
◉Primary function of fungi in nature . Answer: Decomposition of
organic matter.
, ◉Economic importance of fungi . Answer: Food production, antibiotics,
biotech use, crop loss, and disease.
◉Characteristics of fungi . Answer: Eukaryotic, cell walls,
heterotrophic, spores, uni- or multicellular.
◉Dimorphic fungi . Answer: Fungi that exist as both yeast and mold
forms.
◉Hyphae . Answer: Filamentous fungal structures; vegetative absorb
nutrients, aerial produce spores.
◉Mycelium . Answer: A mass of hyphae.
◉Fungal spores . Answer: Reproductive structures for dispersal and
survival.
◉Ascomycetes . Answer: Fungi that produce spores in asci.
◉Basidiomycetes . Answer: Fungi that produce spores in basidia.
