eukaryotic cell than within a prokaryotic cell‚ and many of these structures‚ like the nucleus‚ increase the efficiency of functions by confining them within smaller spaces within the huge cell‚ or with communication and movement within the cell. In fungi‚ the sporocarp (also known as fruiting body or fruit body) is a multicellular structure on which spore-producing structures‚ such as basidia or asci‚ are borne. The fruiting body is part of the sexual phase of a fungal life cycle‚ with the rest of

1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites Bacteria are a single celled organism that multiplies by themselves. The majority of bacteria’s are harmless and beneficial to the human body but some can cause infectious diseases. A bacterium usually affects one part of the body and doesn’t spread across or through the body. Bacterial infections are normally treated with a cause of antibiotics Viruses are made up of genes and proteins that spread throughout the body

called phyla. Traditionally‚ textbooks from the United States used a system of six kingdoms. A fungus (/ˈfʌŋɡəs/; plural: fungi[3] or funguses[4]) is any member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds(British English: moulds)‚ as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom‚ Fungi‚ which is separate from plants‚ animals‚protists‚ and bacteria. One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that

Francesca Firmin 256 – Causes and spread of infection 1. – Understand the cause of infection. 1.1 – Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Answer to 1.1 – The difference between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites are: Bacteria – Bacteria is a single celled organism‚ bacteria have evolved to be in any environment and can be found in any substance/surface and also in the human body‚ only 1% of bacteria is actually harmful. It’s bad or infectious bacteria that

Viruses‚ Fungi and Parasites A. Bacteria. A bacterium is a living thing made up of a single cell (unlike fungi that are multi celled). They are not plants or animals. Because they are single celled they very small‚ however they have a fast multiplication rate which leads to normally millions of them together. B. Viruses. Viruses are small (too small to be seen under a light microscope)‚ and infectious‚ they can only replicate inside of living cells of organisms (like bacteria‚ fungi‚ animals and

31 Fungi Though fungal divisions have traditionally been based on modes of sexual reproduction‚ molecular considerations are becoming more important. Consequently‚ no emphasis has been placed on the vagaries of sexual and asexual reproduction among various fungi in this Test Bank. Instead‚ new questions assess students’ abilities to think logically about fungal morphology‚ genetics‚ and ecology. Two new sets of scenario questions deal with the biology of microsporidians and chytrids‚ fungi thought

1. How do fungi obtain food? Once obtained‚ how is the method that fungi use to digest food similar to how animals digest food? How is it different? a. Fungi obtain their food by absorption from their surroundings such as soil‚ living and dead plant/animal material. Animals digest food by consuming them and digest them through their digestive systems in their bodies. Fungi on the other hand‚ excrete digestive enzymes onto the food and digest them outside of their system. Then they use hyphae to

Protista- Mostly single celled eukaryotes. Fungi- Multicellular eukaryotes that feed by extracellular digestion and absorption. Plantae- Multicellular photosynthetic autotrophs; producers. Animalia- Diverse multicellular heterotrophs. 2. Who developed the binomial system of nomenclature (genus and species)? -Binomial System

What are amylases? Amylases are enzymes that break down starch or glycogen. Amylases are produced by a variety of living organisms‚ ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. Bacteria and fungi secrete amylases to the outside of their cells to carry out extracellular digestion. When they have broken down the insoluble starch‚ the soluble end products such as (glucose or maltose) are absorbed into their cells. Amylases are classified based on how they break down starch molecules i. α-amylase
