Archaea, bacteria and viruses are all examples of this type of organism.
What are microorganisms?
100
A microscopic particle that cannot replicate on its own.
What is a virus?
100
Eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as fungi, plants, or animals. Some have cilia.
What are protists?
100
spore-producing organisms that absorb nutrients from the environment.
What are fungi?
100
What characteristics do all plants share?
What is...multicellular eukaryotes, two-stage life cycle, cell wall, large vacuoles, make their own food.
200
hot springs, deep sea vents, and salty lakes. (Hint: which organism does this apply to?)
What are the possible environments of archaea?
200
does not use energy from nutrients; does not maintain homeostasis; can't grow; and does not respond to light, sound, or touch.
Why is a virus considered nonliving?
200
algae
What is an example of a plant-like protists?
200
List characteristics of fungi.
What are eukaryotic cells, nuclei, consumers, decomposers, walls of chitin, and single-celled organisms?
200
a plant organ that consists of an embryo, tissues, and a protective coating.
What is a seed?
300
This organism may be a consumer, decomposer, or producer. They use energy from sunlight to make food, and are often green.
What is bacteria?
300
living thing that a virus or parasite uses for resources or shelter
What is a host?
300
Structures that carry out jobs inside a cell. Ex: chloroplasts make food from the sun's energy.
What are organelles?
300
threadlike fungal filaments made up of many cells that form chains.
What is hyphae?
300
Where would you expect to see a plant that does not have a vascular system?
Low and close to the ground- nonvascular plants depend on diffusion to move water and nutrients.
400
Has no nuclei, single-celled, prokaryotic, no membrane-bound organelles.
What are the characteristics of archaea?
400
virus enters a cell and invades it. The virus's DNA is copied into the new cell. New viruses burst out of the cell, usually killing it and start again.
What is viral replication or the lytic cycle?
400
Many protists have these to remove excess water from the cell.
What do contractile vacuoles do?
400
Fungi that exist mostly in a unicellular state and reproduce by budding are called what?
What are yeasts?
400
male reproductive structure of flowers
Female reproductive structure of flowers
What is the stamen? What is the pistil?
500
one single-celled organism splits into two single-celled organisms.
How do bacteria reproduce using binary fission?
500
The host cell replicates the virus's genetic material
What is the host cell's task during the replication of viruses?
500
a process in which a piece breaks off of an organism and develops into a new individual. Many multicellular protists can reproduce this way.
(Bonus points: What is a second form of asexual reproduction?)
What is fragmentation?
What is binary fission
500
List three major types of fungi and an example of each.
What are zygote fungi (bread mold), sac fungi (morels), and club fungi (mushrooms)?
500
specialized leaves that enclose and protect the flower bud.
