A | B |
Coccal, Rod-like and Corkscrew like | Bacteria Types |
Gram + | no capsule & thick peptidoglycan membrane |
Gram - | thinner wall buried under a carbohydrate capsule |
Amoeba | has pseudopodia & moves by changing arrangement of actin microfilaments |
Green Algae (chlorophyta) | has chlorophyll b & a, stores energy through starch, chloroplasts |
Red Algae (Rhodophyta) | has red pigment, doesn't store starch |
Brown Algae (Phaeophyta) | store different material for energy, doesn't contain same pigments as plants |
Slime Molds | show evolutionary progress toward cell communication, signal eachother under adverse conditons to form a fruiting body |
Cholera | caused by bacteria in feces contamiated water |
Amoebic Dissentary | caused by amoeba, symptoms include diarrhea b/c interrupts transport |
Euglena | important for light detection (eyespot), causes trypanosome & sleeping sickness |
Water molds (Oomycota) | large gametes, caused potato blight in Ireland |
Diatoms | photosynthetic, form beautiful glass shells, make diatomaceous earth/ scouring materials |
Mycelium | thin, threadlike body made of hyphae, high absorption rate b/c of high surface area |
Basidiomycete | mushroom bearing fungi |
Saprotrophic | absorptive feeding, requires high surface area |
Ascomycete | cup bearing fungi ( have gills on top of body) |
Asci | sexual spores found in gills of ascomycete |
Lichen | mutualistic symbiotic relationship b/n green algae and an ascomycete or a basidiomycete |
Volvox | colonial but independent (not multicellular) |
