Questions for Eukarya
List the Eukaryotic Microorganism you have learned.
Eukaryotic microorganism r :
Algae(藻类): phototrophic eukaryotic miroorganisms
Fungi (真菌类) : nonphotosynthetic eukaryotic microorganisms that contain rigid cell walls.
Slime molds (粘液菌): nonphototrophic eukaryotic microorganisms that lack cell walls and that aggregate to form fruiting structures (cellular slime molds) or mass of protoplasm (acellular slime molds)
protozoa(原生动物) : unicellular eukaryotic microorganisms that lack cell walls.

Why do algea have various colors?
因含有各种不同类型的色素但主要为叶绿体,但当所含的其它色素如胡萝卜素较多时则显红色, 或其它颜色。

Rhizopus, Allomyces, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Mucor,
8. How to classify fungi?
Classification of fungi based on:
Morphological properties (形态特征)

10. Give an example of how cellular slime molds go through their various life cycles.
Dictyostelium discoideum, a cellular slime mold life cycles r like below:
Aggregation of amoebas:
无组织性,聚合成像变形虫一样,可运动。
Migration of the slug formed from aggregated amoebas:
由amoebas成链状排列,形状有规则,可移动。
Culmination and formation of the fruiting body
Mature fruiting body
11. How do protozoa distinguish themself from algae, yeast, fungi, and slime molds
protozoa distinguish from algae by their lack of chlorophyll (一般没有叶绿体); distinguish from yeast and other fungi by their mobility and lack of cell wall(是可运动的,无细胞壁); distinguished from slime molds by their lack of fruiting body formation(无子实体).
