BIOLOGY 1B Lecture Notes - Lecture 27: Phytophthora Ramorum, Polysaccharide, Chitin
Document Summary
->he will never take questions directly from textbook. ->in lab, we will be keeping a lab notebook, details will be disclosed in lab next week. ->know a lot of the examples-->will help us understand concepts. ->biology important (organismal biology)-->very critical for making future decisions-->important to be an informed citizen. ->this classification scheme persisted through 1930s-->artificial classification technique. ->but for the purposes of this class->fungi considered with plants. ->many organisms: not true fungi-->taken out of fungi classification-->stremenopiles-->cause diseases in plants-->sudden oak death. ->other organisms removed from green plants-->dinoflagellates-->organisms orginally grouped with green plants, now removed. ->have to use generalities to apply to most of organisms in fungi. ->cell wall contains nitrogenous polysaccharide called chitin (found in lobster shell, insects) ->spores: individual cells capable of giving rise to new organisms. ->non-photosynthetic-->cannot take co2 and use light to make complex compound. ->live in their food and secrete enzymes to digest food and absorb the broken down/digested compound.
