Bacteria/Viruses/ Protists
Describe the cell type and structure of bacteria cells.
prokaryote, unicellular
How do fungi obtain food?
heterotroph, hyphae into food source
How do animals obtain food and what are the three kinds of roles they can play in a food web?
heterotroph, herbivore, carvivore, onmivore
Why do squid have large eyes?
to see in the dark
Describe one way we SEE diversity in animal movement.
type- limbs-skeletal system
What does a virus need to multiply?
a host
What role to plants play in nature?
provide O2!
What organ system in animals is involved in obtaining O2 and getting rid of CO2 in animals? Why is it important?
respiratory, cellular respiration
How do chromatophores help the squid?
camouflage
Describe one way that animal-like, plant-like and fungi-like protists differ.
food- auto-plant-like heterotroph-animal-like, fungi-like, movement for animal-like, spores for fungi-like...
What is one characteristic that all protists have in common?
they need water/wet environments to live
What do vascular plants use to reproduce?
pollen and seeds
What is the ultimate goal of living things? why?
reproduction, pass on genes!
Describe TWO adaptations that help squid catch prey.
tentacles, arms, suckers, beak, ...
Why is biological diversity important for a population?
healthier- different responses to environment
What is sexual reproduction in bacteria called and how does it work?
conjugation- they pass genetic material through a bridge from cell to cell
Name two ways that seeds can be dispersed and explain why dispersal is good.
various- wind, water, animals, explosion...
less competition!
Name TWO reasons why it is important for animals to be able to move.
food, protection, reproduction, homeostasis
What about the body shape/structure of the squid assits it with movement?
shape- torpedo, fins- steering, siphon- power
Name one thing that CREATES biological diversity.
adaptation/evolution, sexual reproduction/meiosis/ genetics/
Why are viruses NOT living?
no cells, no true reproduction, no ability to make energy using food, no waste
How do fungi have a mutualistic relationship with plants?
Fungi give water and nutrients to plants, plant sends food for fungi
Name and describe two types of symmetry in animals and give examples of each.
radial- many lines through center split body into equal parts- starfish
bilateral- one line down the middle splits body into equal parts- squid!
Explain how the squid has an adapted "shell" and why this is helplful.
pen! gives structure but is light and flexible so it can move!
Why is biological diversity important for an ecosystem?
eveything has a niche so there are enough resources for all!
