Cards

Term
symbiosis
Definition
theory of eukaryotic cell development; eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes that had engulfed smaller prokaryotes, which then developed into organelles
Term
tissue
Definition
collection of cell that perform a specific function
Term
organ
Definition
collection of tissue that function for a common purpose
Term
protozoa
Definition
types of microorganisms that are always unicellular
Term
helminths
Definition
types of microorganisms that are always multicellular
Term
fungi and algae
Definition
types of microorganisms that are unicellular or multicellular
Term
make up of flagella
Definition
9 and 2 arrangement of microtubules
Term
cilia
Definition
only present in protozoa and animal cells; used for locomotion and feeding
Term
protozoa and some algae
Definition
types of cells that have flagella
Term
glycocalx
Definition
composed primarily of polysaccharides; function for protection, adhesion, and receiving signals from environment
Term
three arrangements of glycocalx
Definition
fiber network, slime layer, capsule
Term
cell wall
Definition
found in fungi and algae but not in protozoa
Term
cell wall of fungi
Definition
thick inner layer of of polysaccharides (chitin or cellulose) and outer layer of of glycans
Term
crab shell
Definition
common place chitin is found
Term
cell wall of algae
Definition
varied but may contain polysaccharides such as cellulose, pectin, manans, and/or minerals such as silicon dioxide and calcium carbonate
Term
sterols
Definition
rigid lipids that add stability to the cell membrane
Term
transitional vesicles
Definition
packets of protein that bud off the RER and fuse with the golgi
Term
condensing vesicles
Definition
packets of fully processed proteins that leave the golgi for transport to their final location
Term
components in cristae of mitochondria
Definition
enzymes and electron carriers that are responsible for last steps of aerobic respiration in which large amounts of ATP are formed
Term
components of matrix in mitochondria
Definition
metabolic enzymes, ribosomes (70s) and circular DNA
Term
grana
Definition
stacks of discs in chloroplasts
Term
thykaloids
Definition
disc-like sacs in chloroplasts
Term
stroma
Definition
surround thykaloids in chloroplasts
Term
cytoskeleton
Definition
anchors RNA; microfilaments and microtubules
Term
microfilaments
Definition
thin, protein strands; move cytoplasmic components; mediate amoeboid movement
Term
microtubules
Definition
long, hollow tubes; maintain shape of cells that lack cell walls; seperate chromosomes; movement of flagella and cilia
Term
components in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Definition
chromosomes, ribosomes, flagella, cell membrane, cell wall, glycocalx
Term
components only present in eukaryotes
Definition
nucleus, golgi, ER, mitochondria, chloroplasts, cilia
Term
yeasts
Definition
round or oval fungi; asexual reproduction via buddin; may for pseudohyphae
Term
hyphae
Definition
long, thread like fungi; common to filamentous fungi
Term
saprobes
Definition
require nutrients from dead matter
Term
obligate parasites
Definition
require host to live
Term
colonies of yeast
Definition
appear soft and have a uniform texture
Term
colonies of filamentous fungi (mycelia)
Definition
appear "hairy"
Term
budding
Definition
way yeast reproduces
Term
fragmentation and spore formation
Definition
ways mold reproduce
Term
sexual sporulation
Definition
provide for gentic variation; always produced after meiosis, but all other aspects vary depending on the species
Term
sporangiospores
Definition
asexual sporulation; sporangium is attached to the sporangiophore, and the spores form from mitotic divisions within the sporangium, and are released when the sporangium ruptures
Term
conidia
Definition
asexual sporulation; free spores are released by the pinching off of the tip of the hypha
Term
fungi
Definition
common cause of allergies; can produce poisonous toxins; important in decomposition; symbiotic relationships with plants to aide in nutrient absorbtion; important source of antibiotics and vitamins for human constipation; important for food production
Term
protists
Definition
algae and protozoa; any unicellular or colonial organism that lacks true tissues
Term
algae
Definition
photosynthetic; unicellular, colonial, or filamentous; pigment present in chloroplasts dictate color; rarely infectious; medical importance is primarily due to toxins in fish that feed on algae; inhabit fresh and marine waters, soil, rocks, and plants; large forms have tissues and simple organs
Term
protozoa
Definition
unicellular; lack chloroplasts; cytoplasm divided into endo and ectoplasm; no cell wall; three groups
Term
ectoderm
Definition
part of cytoplasm in protozoa that facilitate movement and feeding
Term
endoderm
Definition
cytoplasm of protozoa that contain nucelus, mitochondria, vacuoles, etc.
Term
three groups of protozoa
Definition
ciliates, flagellates, and amoebas
Term
ameboid motion
Definition
movement when lacking cilia and flagella
Term
protozoa nutrition
Definition
heterotrophic; oral grooves; need moist environment; may come from plant or animal debris, living bacteria or algae, or host fluids or tissues
Term
classes of protozoa
Definition
mastigiophora, sarcodina, ciliophora, apicomplex
Term
mastigiophora
Definition
flagellates; divide by longitudinal division; some lack mitochondria and golgi; most live as single cells; most can form cysts
Term
examples of mastigiophora
Definition
trypanosoma, leishmania, giardia, trichomonas
Term
sarcodina
Definition
amoebas; divide by fission; most can form cysts; ex. entamoeba
Term
ciliophora
Definition
cilliates; can undergo conjugation; divide by fission; most have oral groove and a feeding organelle; most form cysts; most are harmless
Term
apicomplex
Definition
motility is absent (except in male gametes); asexual and sexual stages; all are parasites; ex. plasmodium and taxoplasma
Term
helminths
Definition
eggs and larvae require microscope but adults do not; all are multicellular; highly developed reproductive potential
Term
two major groups of helminths
Definition
flatworms and roundworms
Term
flatworms
Definition
helminths of thin, segmented body
Term
cestodes
Definition
helminth; tapeworm; all hermaphodites
Term
roundworms
Definition
helminth; elongated, cylindrical, unsegemnted bodies; males and females are distinct; nematodes
Term
major lifecycle stages of helminths
Definition
embryo, larval, adult; can only be completed by transmitting an infective from the body of another host (larval development- intermediate host; adulthood and mating - definitve host)
