Domain Prokarya
this kingdom lives in very extreme environments
kingdom archaea
Kingdom Protista is very diverse. What is one characteristic all protists share?
Eukaryotic cells: Nuclear membrane & membrane-bound organelles
True or False: ALL plants are autotrophic
TRUE
True or False: ALL Fungi are autotrophic
FALSE
Name one characteristic all animals have in common.
Can move, No cell wall, symmetry, tissues
What is binary fission?
Rapid cell division / asexual reproduction of prokaryotes
Name a common plant-like protist.
Seaweed, algae, kelp
Which major group of plants produce flowers and fruit?
Angiosperms
Fungi spread their gametes in the form of _______.
Spores
Name an animal that has bilateral symmetry
butterfly, humans, cats, ect
What is it called when 2 bacterial cells exchange genetic information in the form of plasmids?
Bacterial Conjugation
Are amoebas heterotrophic or autotrophic?
heterotrophic
Which vascular structure transports WATER up the stems of plants?
Xylem
Fungi play a major role in ecosystems completing the process that recycles nutrients
decomposing
Describe a similarity & difference between birds & reptiles.
Similarity: Both birds and reptiles are vertebrates (have backbones) and most lay eggs.
Difference: Birds are warm-blooded (maintain a relatively constant body temperature), while reptiles are cold-blooded (their body temperature changes with their surroundings).
describe the shape/arrangement of
diplococcus
True or False: ALL protists are heterotrophic
FALSE
What is the purpose of a flower?
To attract pollinators
What is the cell wall of Fungi made of?
Chitin
Explain an example of an ecosystem engineer.
A beaver is an ecosystem engineer because it builds dams that change the flow of water, creating ponds and wetlands that provide habitats for many other species.
Describe the course of treatment for bacteria vs viruses, and explain why.
Bacterial infections: Treated with antibiotics, which kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing by targeting structures or processes such as cell walls.
Viral infections: Often treated with rest and symptom management. Vaccines can help prevent viral infections.
Why? Bacteria are living cells with structures that antibiotics can target. Viruses reproduce inside host cells and lack these structures, so antibiotics are ineffective against them.
Which organelle would you expect a photosynthetic protist to have that a heterotrophic protist would not?
Chloroplast
Name 2 adaptations plants developed overtime making them more complex.
vascular tissue
Roots
Seeds
flowers
fruits
What is the name for the "root-like" system in fungi?
Mycelium / Hyphae ok.
Explain how animals that eat fruit benefit plants and how plants benefit these animals
Animals that eat fruit benefit by getting food, while plants benefit when animals disperse their seeds through their droppings or by carrying them to new locations. This is an example of mutualism, where both organisms benefit.
