Give an example of a human disease caused by each of the following: diplomonads, parabasilids, and trypanosomes.

what rust (puccinia), produces four different types of spores. indicate the ploidy of each spore type: - aecidiospores: - urediniospores: - teliospores: - basidiospores:

34) Which of the following fungal diseases involves an intracellular parasite that partially disables macrophages, allowing for spread beyond the lungs. A) Coccidioidomycosis C) Pneumocystis B) Blastomycosis D) Histoplasmosis 35) Of the following genetic material types seen in viruses, which genetic material type leads to rapid, almost immediate production of viral proteins, followed closely by replication of the genome leading to rapid synthesis of new viruses, which tends to overwhelm the host, as exemplified in a viral disease which causes more than 200,000 deaths of children worldwide each year. A) negative (-) strand single-stranded RNA B) double-stranded RNA D) positive (+) strand single-stranded RNA C) single-stranded DNA

In the following diagram of a black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer), identify the following structures of a multicellular fungus: mycelium, rhizoids, stolon, sporangium, sporangiophore, sporangiospores.   Note: Sample fungus herein is not found in aquatic environment.  Rhizopus stolonifer is a common agent of decomposition of stored foods; they are terrestrial in habitat.

What features of trypanosoma make it fall under the kingdom protista?

Both Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp. reproduce asexually with conidia. How can you tell these organisms apart with a microscope? How about without a microscope?

Anophelesmosquito life cycle: https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/about/life-cycles/anopheles.html   Culexmosquito life cycle: https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/about/life-cycles/culex.html   Look at the life cycle of the two mosquito vectors involved in malaria and West Nile virus transmission. Consider the details of their biology in terms of:  1) habitat of different stages, 2) duration of life cycle, 3) food needs, 4) feeding preferences, 5) how far they disperse. Below write out how each might be a useful aspect to consider in terms of controlling the insect and /or its ability to transmit the disease to humans.   Anopheles 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.   Culex 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1)Why don't all of the yeast do cellular respiration?  2) What are the similarities and differences in the appearance of Aspergillus and Penicillium (form is the organism)

Characteristics of Dientamoeba fragilis include all of the following except: a. This organism is a flagellate with internal flagella b. Transmission is thought to occur through the ingestion of specific helminth eggs c. This organism is pathogenic and tends to be more commonly found in children d. Trophozoites contain a single nucleus, while the cysts contain two nuclei

amoebas Euglenozoa Ciliates of the phylum Ciliophora Apicomplexans For each of the groups listed above, provide one example of a pathogenic protozoan found in the U.S.A
