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
