Biology - Module 9: Microbiomes & Fungi

Dinoflagellates

Dinoflagellates

Single-celled flagellated eukaryotes that cause red tides.

Cocci

Cocci - The bacterial shape that is described as round.

Prokaryotic

The cell type for bacteria and archaea.

Endospore

A hard structure produced by some bacteria to help it withstand harsh conditions.

Fungi

Multicelled form of fungi which includes hyphae and spores.

Yeasts

Group of organisms that come in a mold form or a yeast form

Brownalgae

.Also known as kelp it is found in medium depths of the ocean

Yeasts

Single-celled form of fungi that reproduces by budding.

Protists

Simplest eukaryotic organisms, usually single-celled.

Capsule

The sticky sugar layer outside of a bacteria that helps with attachment.

Green algae

Closest relative to plants on land; has chlorophyll.

Pili

The hollow tubes a bacteria has for passing genetic material.

Cilia

Protists like paramecium and stentor which move or feed with small projections called cilia.

Chromosome

HIV incorporates its viral DNA into a chromosome of the host cell

Bacteria

Prokaryotic cells that live all over the world.

Lytic

A virus that exits the host cell by bursting out thousands of new virus.

Protozoa

A single-celled protist that usually lives in an aquatic environment

Red

Type of algae that is found at the greatest depths for algae, has the most intricate and beautiful structures.

Horizontal transfer

Bacteria are able to pass genes from one bacteria to a neighboring bacteria by this process.

Envelop

The phospholipid bilayer surrounding a virus that it steals from the cell membrane of the host cell.

Pseudopodia

Method of movement that involves a slow, oozing form of motion with "false feet".

Plants

Some fungi have symbiotic relationships with plants at the roots.

Eukaryotic

The cell type for protists and fungi.

Lysogenic

A virus that incorporates its DNA into the host cell DNA.

Mycellium

Mass of fungal hyphae together.

Chitin

The component of the fungal cell wall that makes it tough.

Mushroom

A fungal reproductive structure which has fungal spores under the cap in the gill slits.

Virus

Smaller than a cell, the ultimate parasite, lives inside a host cell, not considered living

Flagella

Bacteria can only move if they have flagella.

Spores

The fungal reproductive feature that is light and travels well in the air.
