Seed
The main mode of vegetative growth in fungi, a long, branching filamentous structure of a fungus is known as what?
Hyphae
What are the four major evolutionary innovations in animal forms?
1. multicellularity
2. bilateral symmetry
3. tube within a tube body plan
4. Eucoelomate (true coelom) Body plan
The domain archaea consists of the three main types of bacteria, Extreme thermophiles, extreme halophiles, and methanogens. What type of environment can you find these?
Extreme thermophiles live in extreme heat such as hot springs.
Extreme Halophiles live in environments with high salinity such as the Great Lakes.
Methanogens produce methane and are found in places like hydrothermal vents, wet lands, and the guts of animals.
What illness is caused by each of the following protozoans: Giardia lamblia, Plasmodium Spp, and Trypanosoma Brucei
Giardiasis, Malaria, African Sleeping Sickness
What are the five key traits that appear in nearly all land animals but are absent in the charophyceans?
1. Apical meristems
2. Alternation of Generations
3. Multicellular Embryo that is dependent on the parent plant
4. sporangia that produce walled spores
5. Gametangia that produce gametes
Fungi and plants have been known to engage in symbiotic relationships. What is the name of the fungi that engages in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of plants?
Mycorrhizae
There are three types of symmetry in animals. Name each and describe them.
Spherical - any plane through the center provides mirrored halves (colonial volvox exterior)
Radial symmetry - more than two planes through the longitudinal axis are mirrored halves (there is a top and bottom but no left/right or head/rear)
Bilateral Symmetry - divide along a sagittal plane and the two halves are mirrored portions
Which domain domain does not have peptidoglycans in the cell wall, has ribosomes and RNA polymerase that is very similar to eukaryotes and has introns?
Domain Archaea
A Protozoan has one longitudinal and one equatorial flagella and armor of cellulose plates. Which phylum does it belong to?
Dinoflagellata
Fungi can engage in asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction or both. The phylum Ascomycota engages in both. What are the names of the modes of reproduction for asexual and sexual reproduction?
Asexual - Conidia (Spores)
Sexual - ascocarp (ascus bursts, individual spores thrown)
When you pet a dog and you choose between rubbing his head or scratching the underside of his neck you are choosing between two different sides of which plane?
Frontal plane
Staphylococcus Aureus is placed in a test tube of thioglycolate broth to grow. This medium consumes oxygen and is considered an oxygen poor environment. In it's oxygen consumption it diffuses oxygen out of the broth to sit between the broth and the stopper. This creates an environment in the test tube where oxygen concentration increases closer to the cap. When you look at the Staphylococcus Aureus growth you can see bacteria present where the broth meets the oxygen and all throughout the broth. What category of oxygen metabolism does Staph. Aureus belong to?
Facultative Anaerobes
Oomycota contains Water molds, white rusts, and downy mildews all contain hyphae that absorb nutrients, name there 3 closest relatives.
Diatoms, Golden algae, Brown algae
Describe the process and outcome of double fertilization.
Mushrooms, toadstools, puff balls, and shelf fungi all belong to which phylum?
Basidiomycota
Annelida, Arthropoda, and Chordata are three phylum that exhibit a similar trait. What is this trait?
segmentation
Which bacterial disease is caused by parasitic Actinomycetes and characterized by a chronic skin infection?
Leprosy
The Globigerina is an amoeba with threadlike pseudopodia and a porous shell and performs locomotion by reticulopodia. What Clade does Globingerina belong to?
Forams or Formaniferans
Nonvascular plants have no true vascular system. One group has a simple soft vascular system, while the other two use osmosis and diffusion. All three have no true roots or leaves and live in moist habitats. What are the three groups?
Mosses, liverworts, hornworts
Walking through the park you see trees with green splotches that almost look flaky, later you notice similar green splotches on a brick building. You recognize this as a lichen. What is the organismal partnership that forms lichens?
fungus and photosynthetic partner
A coelom is a fluid filled space that surrounds the gut that contributes to the tube-within-a-tube body plan. What are the benefits of a coelom?
1)Allows flexibility in body cavity
2)Provides space for visceral organs
3)Permits greater size & complexity
