Module 1
Reproduction, extraction of energy from the surroundings and converting it into sustaining energy, sense changes in their surroundings and respond, contain DNA
What are the four criterion for life?
What is an anaerobic organism?
The majority of photosynthesis on earth is performed by these tiny floating organisms, mostly algae, that produce more than three fourths of the Earth's oxygen.
What is Phytoplankton?
The part of a fungus responsible for extracellular digestion and absorption of the digested food. This is the main part of the fungus.
What is the mycelium?
Classify Me: <Kingdom>
An organism is a multicellular decomposer made up of eukaryotic cells.
What is a fungi?
An idea based on scientific observation that has not yet been tested with a lot of data.
Coccus, bacillus and spirillum
What are the 3 common bacterial shapes?
What is a contractile vacuole?
Hyphae composed of individual cells separated from one another by cell walls.
What are septate hypha?
Classify Me: <Kingdom>
A single-celled consumer made of prokaryotic cells.
What is a bacteria?
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
What are the classification groups in the hierarchical classification scheme, in order?
A temporary union of two organisms for the purpose of DNA Transfer.
What is conjugation?
What is sub-kingdom Protozoa?
A form of asexual reproduction in yeasts where a nucleus reproduces inside a single cell, followed by a section of the cell wall and plasma membrane swelling to form a pouch into which the additional nucleus and some cytoplasm flow. Eventually, the two cells separate when they are close to the same size.
What is budding?
Classify Me: <Phylum>
A member of Kingdom Protista that has no standard body shape, and accomplishes movement via pseudopod.
What is a scarcodina?
A cell that has no distinct, membrane-bounded organelles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
Population growth that is unhindered because of the abundance of resources for an ever-increasing population.
What is exponential growth?
A relationship between two or more species where at least one benefits.
What is mutualism?
A hypha of a parasitic fungus that enters the host's cells, absorbing nutrition directly from the cytoplasm.
What is a haustorium?
Classify Me: <Phylum>
Members of this phylum are mostly found in fresh water, and their most visible feature is that they contain the pigment chlorophyll. They are often referred to as green algae.
What is phylum Chlorophyta?
A type of reproduction in which the resulting offspring are exact genetic copies of the parent cell.
What is asexual reproduction?
Bacteria that can live in an extreme conditions, such as, deep-ocean hydrothermal vents or incredibly brackish seas like the Great Salt Lake.
What are archaebacteria?
The cell wall remains of many dead diatoms clumping together, resulting in a crumbly, abrasive substance.
What is diatomaceous earth?
What is phylum Deuteromycota?
Classify Me: <Phylum>
Members of this phylum are typically called slime molds, behave like fungi when they reproduce, and they behave like colonial protists when they feed.
What is phylum Myxomycota?
