Document Summary

2: describe the endosymbiotic theory of the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts and the evidence supporting this theory. [knowledge, comprehension: list the groups of eukaryotes that include some species that are microbial, and others that are not. Identify the definitive and intermediate hosts of a parasite, provided with life cycle information. [analysis: explain why it can be difficult to treat infections caused by eukaryotic microbes using chemotherapeutic drugs (compared to treating bacterial infections). Identify a pathogen/parasite (or type), provided relevant information. 3: describe characteristics specific to fungal cells (including structure, growth, reproduction, physiology). [knowledge, comprehension: describe fungal dimorphism, listing examples of dimorphic fungal pathogens. [comprehension: describe major ways in which fungi affect human health (infections [mycoses], toxicoses, allergies). [comprehension, analysis: describe what is meant by systemic, subcutaneous, cutaneous, superficial and mucocutaneous mycoses. [comprehension: describe the different types of dermatophytes that can cause dermatomycoses (tineas or ringworm).
