GCSE Biology - How A Mushroom Can Kill You - Fungal and Protist Disease #35

The video tutorial explains fungi and protists, both eukaryotic organisms. Fungi can be unicellular or multicellular, with examples like yeast and mushrooms. Fungi can cause diseases such as rose black spot, which affects plant leaves. Protists are mostly unicellular and can be parasites, often spread by vectors like mosquitoes. Malaria is a disease caused by a parasitic protist, transmitted by mosquitoes. Prevention includes reducing mosquito populations and using repellents.

What is a unique characteristic of fungi compared to plants and animals?

• They are prokaryotic.

• They can be unicellular or multicellular.

• They are only multicellular.

• They are only unicellular.

What is the primary method by which rose black spot spreads?

• Through direct contact with other plants.

• By insects carrying the spores.

• Via water or wind.

• Through animal vectors.

Which of the following is a method to control the spread of rose black spot?

• Increasing sunlight exposure.

• Watering the plants more frequently.

• Applying fungicides.

• Using insecticides.

How are most protists classified in terms of cellular structure?

• Unicellular.

• Non-eukaryotic.

• Multicellular.

• Prokaryotic.

What is a common method to prevent the spread of malaria?

• Using antibiotics.
