BACTERIA AND ARCHAEA
Organisms that can survive in extreme environments are called...
(extreme environments can be acidic, hot, or not have oxygen)
Archaea
This protist has a glass skeleton and is often used in pesticides because it is so abrasive. They are also really pretty when alive!
diatoms
True or false: all fungi are heterotrophic
True!
These plants produce flowers and their fruits are ovaries that cover their seeds
angiosperms
These animals are the only animals that lack tissue and symmetry
sponges, porifera
True or false: prokaryotic cells contain organized organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria
False
Are protists eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
Eukaryotic because they contain membrane bound organelles
True or false: fungi have vascular tissues that carry water and nutrients throughout it's body
False! This describes vascular plants
Gymnosperms and pteridophytes do NOT produce
flowers or fruits. Gymnosperms produce cones and pteridophytes have spores underneath their leaves.
What are examples of ENDOTHERMIC animals?
Birds and mammals
Flagella and cilia are used for...
movement!
Heterotrophs - they eat other organisms to obtain energy
Cordyceps are a type of ____ fungus that takes over the bodies of ants and other insects
parasitic
What is the purpose of a spiney leaf, like those seen on cacti?
conserve water in a dry environment
This type of animal has a single-loop circulatory system
Fish
True or false: both archaea and bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls
False! Only bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. This is one way to tell the difference between archaea and bacteria.
How do plant-like protists obtain energy?
photosynthesis
True or false: Fungi produce flowers to attract pollinators
False! Fungi reproduce through spreading spores
___ responses are seen when a plant folds itself inward as a way to prevent harm / defend itself
nastic responses
What is the purpose of a phylogenetic tree?
Trace the evolutionary history of an animal. Animals closer together on the tree are more closely related.
According to the theory of endosymbiosis, these two organelles closely resemble prokaryotes
mitochondria and chloroplasts
What is an example of a fungus-like protist?
slime mold
Chitin is found in the fungi's ___ ___
cell walls
This type of plant eats bugs to obtain nitrogen
carnivorous plants
This type of animal has a special feeding organ called a radula as well as a mantle. Examples include snails, octopus, squids, and oysters.
mollusk
