QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Virus - CORRECT ANSWER a small infectious agent that replicates ONLY inside the living
cells of other organisms
Algae - CORRECT ANSWER -Unicellular or multicellular
-Photosynthetic
-Simple reproductive structures
-Categorized on the basis of pigmentation, storage products, and composition of cell wall
Fungi - CORRECT ANSWER A eukaryotic organism that has cell walls, uses spores to
reproduce, and is a heterotroph that feeds by absorbing its food.
molds - CORRECT ANSWER multicellular, have hyphae (filaments); reproduce by sexual and
asexual spores
yeasts - CORRECT ANSWER unicellular; reproduce asexually by budding; some produce
sexual spores
Protozoa - CORRECT ANSWER - single celled eukaryotes
- similar to animals in cell structures and nutrition (chemotroph) needs
-life stages
+ trophozoite: active stage
+ cysts: immature stage
locomotion
pseudopodia - CORRECT ANSWER ''false feet''; A cellular extension of amoeboid cells used
in moving and feeding.
cilia - CORRECT ANSWER The hairlike projections on the outside of cells that move in a
wavelike manner
,flagella - CORRECT ANSWER long, filaments-like "tails" used for swimming
bacteria - CORRECT ANSWER unicellular, lack nuclei, possess unique shapes
-found in extreme environments and where there is sufficient mositure
-reproduce asexually
bacteria - CORRECT ANSWER cell walls contain peptidoglycan, some lack cell walls
-some cause diseases
