Protists and Fungi
1. Be able to identify the following list of protists:
a. Spirogyra
b. Euglena
c. Volvox
d. Diatoms
e. dinoflagellates
f. Amoeba
g. Paramecium
h. Giardia
i. Plasmodium
j. Physarum
2. Know how protists are beneficial to ecosystems,
particularly the photosynthetic protists.
3. Know which ones are pathogens and what diseases they
cause.
4. Be familiar with the body structures of fungi (hyphae,
mycelium, mushroom, sporangium) AND what their functions are.
Photosynthesis
1. Know the photosynthesis equation...
Explain how protists fit into the phylogenetic tree of life
Identify the basic structures common to fungi, including: cell
walls, hyphae/mycelium, and spores
Give an overview of the haploid/diploid life cycle of fungi and
compare to the haploid/diploid cycle in animals
Describe the following symbiotic relationships of fungi and
their ecological impacts: • Mycorrhizae • Lichens •
Parasitic/pathogenic fungi
Distinguish between bacteria, protozoa, and fungi based on the
following characteristics: cell size and internal/external
structures (organelles), arrangements of cells, cell wall
composition, motility.

2. Market structures
For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of
firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market
model. Select the matching entry for each dropdown box in the
following table.
Scenario
Number of Firms
Type of Product
Market Model
A large city has lots of small shops where people can buy
sweaters. Each store's sweaters reflect the style of that
particular store. Additionally, some stores use higher-quality yarn
than others, which is reflected...
Yes or no and why ? 1. Many different types of protists will
be present in a sample from a single source..
Provide an example scenario in which the sampling protists would
be used in the study of an environmental science issue?
Identify sources of error during the location and identification of
the protists.
1. For each of the following protists, list and describe the
major structures. What type of locomotion do you think each protist
employs?
A. Euglena
B. Paramecium
C. Giardia
D. Amoeba
E. slime mold
2. Compare the advantages a protist would gain by having a
unicellular, filamentous, or colonial form. Explain the advantages
of each of the three alternatives.
1. With appropriate staining, what structures might be visible
in individual yeast or protozoa cells that would NOT be visible in
individual bacterial cells.
2. Fungi are considered saprophytes. What does the term
“saprophyte” mean, and what does this have to do with the
observation that some fungi, such as Penicillium molds, produce
antibiotics.
3. Parasite infections are less common in industrialized nations
such as the United States. Provide several explanations for
this.
4. Giardia lamblia,
Trichenella,Plasmodium,how readily are each...
1. Identify and describe the function of major organelles and
structures in eukaryotic cells
2. Identify and describe the function of major structures in
bacterial cells
1. Draw a detailed Eukaryotic cell
2. Label the cell and all its structures
3. Write a brief description explaining how 4 organelles (of
your choosing) function and how their functions are
interconnected.
