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 are the main differences between fungi and plants or animals?

Describe how the rose black spot fungus affects plants.

Explain the role of vectors in the transmission of protists.

What are the symptoms of malaria in humans?

What methods can be used to prevent the spread of diseases caused by protists?
