Question 1
The Jack-O-Lantern mushroom (
Omphalatus illudens
) can easily be confused with prized Chanterelle mushrooms due to their bright orange color, though you should never eat wild mushrooms unless you are
absolutely sure of their identity. Interestingly Jack-O-Lantern mushroom can bioluminescence, possibly attracting nighttime insects to spread their spores.
a. Name the phylum where you would place this organism. (0.5 pt) Basidiomycota
b. Upon what characteristic can you see here to base your decision? (0.5 pt)
I
t's a mushroom, which is a club fungi
c. What toxin does this mushroom contain and what symptoms would you experience letting you know you are not eating Chanterelles? (1 pt)
lludin M and illudin S and you will feel nauseous and vomit.
Question 2
While the first antibiotic was made from the fungus Penicillium
, some species of Penicillium
have been found to produce cholesterol lowering compounds. Name 1 of the species of Penicillium
(give the full scientific name –written properly) that produces such compounds. (0.5 pt each)
a. Scientific name:
Penicillium compactum
b. Why are these compounds important?
Compactim is a cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor and affects HMG-CoA reductase.
Question 3
When making brie or camembert cheese, the initial cheese curd is packed into molds, washed, salted, and then inoculated with a fungus. The fungus will impart flavor as it further digests the young cheese and
forms the rind of the cheese. Name one species of fungi (give the full scientific name –written properly) that is used in making brie. In which phylum does it belong? (0.5 pt each)
a. Scientific Name:
P. camemberti
b. Phylum:
Ascomycota
Question 4
Name one ecological role that Fungi play in the environment. Explain why this is important. (1 pt each)
Breaking down other dead organisms into nutrients. This helps recycle the dead organism back into the environment.
Question 5
Although lichens and slime molds are not true fungi, we often study them along with fungal groups. What characteristics of these groups align them with Fungi? (1 pt each)
a. Lichens:
Are actually a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. b. Slime molds:
These also form sporangia. Question 6
a. What is the mechanism that leads to coral bleaching? (1 pt)
Bleaching is caused by algal blooms, which can devastate reefs.
b. Why is coral bleaching such a dire problem? (1 pt)
Many many species of fish, critters, and plants live there. They will have no place to live without corals.
Question 7
All worms are not created equal, nor do they belong to the same phyla.
i. Phyla = Annelida
ii. Phyla = Diplopoda
iii. Phyla = Platyhelminthes
a. Name 2
of the “worms” shown above with their phylum. Be sure to indicate which worm
you are naming in your answer <i, ii, and/or iii>. (0.5 pt each)
ii) millipede iii) flatworm b. Describe how movement differs in the 2 phyla that you named. (2 pts)
One of them has legs, while the other has flaps it uses to glide through the water
Question 8
Crinoids do not look much like the other organisms in their phylum. (0.5 pt each)
a. To what phylum do they belong?
Crinoidea
b. Name one key reason why they are placed in this phylum and not in another group?

Dinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists. Dinoflagellates are bioluminescent, but only at night. During the day, they carry out photosynthesis similar to other autotrophs. At night, however, they bioluminesce every time they are disturbed. They are often seen in the wakes of ships at night. While the reason for this bioluminescence is not fully understood, many scientists concur that it is a form of self-defense. If small fish begin to feed upon the protists, the protists will begin to bioluminesce. These flashes of light in the dark water can alert larger fish and draw them towards the small fish, upon which they prey. By making the small fish vulnerable, the dinoflagellates are able to protect themselves.
Based on the information above, a researcher decides to design an experiment in which she is testing how long it takes for dinoflagellates to recover after different amounts of disturbance. She maintains 10 containers of dinoflagellates with similar temperature, salinity and…
