  • what are the two common pond of algae?
    • Euglena
    • Volvox
  • it is cause of human infections
    prototheca
  • phycotoxins produced by
    dinoflagellates
  • it is motile, feeding, dividing stage.
    trophozoite
  • it is used for locomotion & feeding
    pseudopodia
  • it is non-motile, dormant, survival stage
    cyst
  • photosynthesis eukaryotic organisms
    algae
  • it is cause of malaria
    plasmodium spp.
  • it is causes amebic dysentery
    entamoeba histolytica
    • have no visible means of locomotion
    • plasmodium spp. = cause of malaria
    sporozoa
  • unicellular non-photosynthesis eukaryotes, most are free lving
    protozoa
    • move by means of hairlike cilia
    • balantidium coli = cause of balantidiasis
    cillates
    • move by means of whiplike flagella
    • giardia intestinalis = causes of giardiasis
    flagellates
  • are fungi growing as a unicellular
    yeast
  • mushroom toadstool are spore-bearing fruiting bodies of fungi
  • are fungi form in multicellular fibers called hypae
    mold
  • (filaments) forms of mycelium
    hypae
  • it is body or vegative structure of a fungus, term for a mass of fungal filament
    mycelium
  • have cross walls called septa
    septate hypae
  • do not contain septa
    coenocytic or aseptate hypae
  • it is formed when hypae fragment
    arthroconidia (arthrospores)
  • spores that are not enclosed in a sac but produced at the tips or side of the hypa
    conidiospore
  • it is produced from a vegetative mother cell budding
    blastospores
  • develop within a sporangium sac at hypal tip
    sporangiospore
  • must infect host cells to complete life cycle
    endoparasitic fungi
  • it is for host invasion
    polar tube
  • the portion of a hypa that obtains nutrients
    vegetative hypha
  • the portion concerned with reproduction
    aerial hypha
  • multicellular masses
    mold
  • is a yeast used in baking
    saccharomyces cerevisiae
  • is the yeast most frequently isolated from human clinical specimens
    candida albicans
  • FUNGAL DISEASE:
    • systematic mycoses = deep within the body
    • subcuteneous mycoses = beneath the skin
    • cutaneous mycoses = affect hair, skin, and nails
    • superficial mycoses = localized (e.g, hair shafts)
    • opportunistic mycoses = fungi harmless in normal habitat but pathogenic in a composed host
  • DIMORPHIC FUNGI
    • a few fungi, including some pathogens, can live as either yeast or moulds, depending on growth conditions. This phenomenon is known dimophism
  • FUNGI : FLESHY FUNGI
    • they consist of a network of filaments or strands (the mycelium) that grows in soil or on rotting logs
    • these fungi include mushrooms, toadstool, puffballs, and bracket fungi
  • what can produced of candida
    candidaiasis
  • a yeast (a type of fungus) commonly found on the skin and in the body, including the mouth, throat, gut and vagina
    candida
  • it is called flatworms
    platyhelminthes
  • it is called roundworm
    nematodes
  • transmission can occur through ingestion of eggs, skin penetration by larvae, or vector-mediated transmission
    helminths
  • FLATWORMS
    • flatworms (phylum platyhelminthes)
    • very thin, often segmented body plan
    • divided into cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes (flukes)
