- characteristics of kingdom Fungi
- cell wall made of chitin, eukaryotic, produce asexually and sexually, hetertophic
- viruses composed of..
- cell wall and RNA
- vaccine
- a weakened pathogen prepared for injection
- pollen
- male sex cell in a plant
- mycelium
- tangled mass that makes up the body of a fungus
- identify prokaryotes
- shape, energy source, movement, gram stain
- hyphae
- thin filaments that make up the fungus
- reproduction of gymnosperm
- cone
- two major changes on Earth that were key to development of life
- present of oxygen and eukaryotic cells
- bacteria and viruses cause diseases by...
- disrupting an organism's equilibrium
- binomial nomenclature
- using genius and species to identify an organism
- Bacteria classification
- bacteria and archaea
- lichen
- relationship between fungus and a photosynthetic organisms.
- secondary growth
- stems increase in width
- protists (classify as animal and plant)
- animal like-move with flagella or cilia, plant like-do not move at alll
- purpose of classification system for organisms
- organize and group species to see what species may be related to others
- annual
- a plant with a one growing season life cycle
- lignin
- makes cell walls strong
- two most specific levels of classification
- genius, species
- commensalism
- one organism benefits off of another while the other one doesnt care
- greenhouse effect
- maintains Earth's temperature range
- retroviruses
- have RNA as their genetic materials
- reprocuction of angiosperm
- flower
- light indeptendent reations in photosythesis
- take the ATP and NADHs from light dependent reactions and change it to high energy sugars
- guard cells
- cells that respond to change in water pressure
- sporophyte
- diploid phase of a plant
- fruit
- ripened ovary that protects the developing seed
- phloem
- moves nutrients from the leaves to rest of plant
- pollination
- pollen is transferred to female part of plant
- mutualism
- when two organisms work together to live
- conjugation
- echange of genetic information between two bactieral cells
- cladogram
- evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms
- biennial
- completes life cycle in 2 years
- protists role in environment
- provide oxygen, food like seaweed, used for medical care
- taxonomy
- science that specializes in the classification of organisms
- stomata
- opening in leaf for gas exchange
- three domains
- bacteria, eukarya, archaea
- food web
- shows the numerous ways of cycles for feeding in an ecosystem
- flow of energy from sun through living things
- sun is absorved by autotrophs, only 1% of sun energy is absorbed. consumer eats plant, only get 10% of that 1%...so on and so on.
- mushroom
- fruiting body
- primaru growth
- growth at tips of roots and shoots
- information used to classify organisms
- external appearance, internal organs, behavior, fossils, growth, development and reproduction
- pressure-flow hypothesis
- a process thought to explain how phloem moves nutrients
- phylogeny
- study of evolutionary relationships among organisms
- food chain
- shows the process of energy moving through animals starting with autotrophs
- vascular tissue
- cells develop for specific functions
- characteristics of Kingdom Plantae
- roors, leaves, stems, reprductive structure
- stem
- connects roots and leaves
- bacteriophage
- a virus that attacks bacteria
- gametophyte
- haploid phase of a plant
- pathogens
- disease causing organisms
- chlorophyll a and b
- attracts sunlight to use for photosynthesis
- transpiration
- plant loses water through its leaves
- leaf
- site of photosythesis
- plant like protists are vital to humans because...
- provide vitamins and minerals, base of many aquatic food chains, produce oxygen through photosythesis
- root
- part of plant that absorbs water and minerals
- xylem
- moves water up from roots
- important role of fungi
- break down dead organisms
- perennial
- flowing plant that lives more than 2 years
- prokaryotes
- lack nucleus
