What is a dimorphic fungi characteristic of?
Pathogenic Fungi
Filamentous Fungi
Mass of hyphae called mycelium; cottony, hairy, velvety texture
What are the crosswalls that may divide hyphae?
Setate
Vegetative Hyphae
Digest and absorb nutrients
Reproductive Hyphae
Produce spores for reproduction
What does the genus Crytococcus produce?

How do fungi primarily reproduce?
Through spores formed on reproductive hyphae
What are asexual spores of fungal reproduction?
Conidia or Sporangiospores
What are the adverse impacts of fungus?
Mycoses, Allergies, Toxin production and destruction of crops and food storages
What are the beneficial impacts of fungus?
Decomposers of dead plants and animals, sources of antibiotics, alcohol, organic acids, and vitamins and used in making foods and in genetic studies
What are common characteristics of all protozoa?
All are heterotrophic and lack a cell wall.
Trophozoite
Motile feeding site
Cyst
The dormant state of protozoa when conditions are unfavorable for growth and feeding

Ciliated Protozoa
Apicomplexa
Protozoa that lack motility except in male gametes.
How is T. Gondii transmitted?
Cat's litter boxes
How are helminiths aquired?
Through ingestion of larvae and eggs in food, form soil or water, or carried by insect vectors
