True / False Questions

 

1. Algae may directly infect humans and cause disease.

 

2. Algae have a vascular system very similar to that found in plants.

 

3. Recently diatoms have been found to be associated with paralytic shellfish poisoning.

 

4. Protozoans are eukaryotes and as such have a nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

 

5. Protozoans are usually multicellular and found in arid environments.

 

6. Fungi are often capable of locomotion through the use of flagella.
7. Fungus grows well on fruits and many vegetables due to their alkaline pH.
