Animal Transport
In this circulatory system, low pressure limits rapid transport because fluid is not confined to vessels.
What is an open circulatory system?
This vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from roots to leaves.
What is the xylem?
These are the three stages of signal processing in plants.
What is reception, transduction, and response?
This type of immune response responds slowly to primary infections but elicits rapid responses during subsequent infections.
What is adaptive immunity?
This describes the process of shoot growth towards the light.
What is phototropism?
This type of vessel causes a dramatic drop in blood velocity and is optimized for diffusion rather than transport.
What is a capillary?
This is the process by which water evaporates from plant leaves through microscopic openings.
What is transpiration?
This is light-triggered developmental change causing greening in plants.
What is de-etiolation?
This signaling molecule increases vascular permeability, allowing immune cells and proteins to access infected tissues.
What is histamine?
This type of tropism involves growth away from a stimulus
What is a negative tropism?
This protein enables red blood cells to transport oxygen efficiently due to cooperative binding.
What is hemoglobin?
This term describes the movement of large amounts of water through xylem driven by pressure differences rather than diffusion.
What is bulk flow?
This hormone promotes the elongation of shoots.
What is Auxin? (IAA)
In insects, these immune cells combine phagocytosis, secretion of antimicrobial peptides, and encapsulation of large parasites.
What are hemocytes?
These are dense cellular structures found free floating in plant cells that help plant organs respond to gravity.
What are statoliths?
An animal species relies on this type of circulatory system where blood is confined to vessels but pressure is not maintained after gas exchange, limiting targeted delivery to tissues and constraining metabolic activity.
What is single circulation?
This property of water allows pulling forces at the leaf surface to be transmitted down the entire length of the xylem.
What is cohesion?
In de‑etiolation, this type of receptor detects light and initiates a signaling cascade that changes gene expression.
What is phytochrome?
This immune system consists of plasma proteins amplifies immune responses through a cascade that results in pathogen lysis and opsonization.
What is the complement system?
This is a change in growth that is caused by mechanical stimulation. Yes, you will need to spell this correctly!
What is thigmomorphogenesis?
This system is found in insects and supplies oxygen to body cells
What is a tracheal system?
This trade‑off occurs when plants close stomata, balancing water conservation against reduced gas exchange.
What is the trade‑off between transpiration and photosynthesis?
This hormone is involved in the plant response to drought and dormancy.
What is abscisic acid? (ABA)
These are the three main components of the innate immune system.
What are physical barriers, chemical barriers, and cellular responses?
This process determines a plants 24 hour cycle of responses to the environment.
What is circadian rhythm?
