Plant-like VS. Plants
_______________ are classified by their shape.
Bacteria
Most plant like protists are ______celled.
Single celled
How do plant-like protists obtain energy ?
Obtaining energy from sunlight/photosynthesis
How do plant-like protists reproduce?
Binary Fission
Are true stems, roots, and leaves, characteristics of plants or plant-like protists ?
They are characteristics of PLANTS
Plant-like protists are collectively called:
algae
Do plant-like protists take energy/nutrients in or out ?
They take energy/ nutrients out
Do plant-like protists take energy/nutrients in or out?
they take nutrients in
how do plants produce? (three possible answers)
Plants reproduce by means of spores, pollen, or seeds.
They contain chloroplasts, chlorophyll, and have a true nucleus
Plant-like protists
Why do plant-like protist sometimes have a red appearance?
It has more red chloroplasts than green chloroplasts, that makes it appears red instead of green.
What is the exception that makes plant-like protists multicellular?
some live in colonies, making up red, brown (kelp/seaweed), and green algae.
Plant-like protists can make their own energy from the sun or other sources just as plants can, so what does that make them?
It makes them autotrophs
Explain binary fission
It is just dividing themselves into two
Do plants or plant-like protists contain pigments
( carry out photosynthesis)
BOTH (plants and plant-like protists)
What do biologists say originated from ancient green algae?
land plants
Plant-like protists include single-celled ____ and multicellular ____.
Diatoms, seaweed
How do plants get their energy ?
plants use chlorophyll to photosynthesize the Sun's energy into plant energy
Which protist reproduces by spreading asexual spores that form new individuals.
Plant-like protists do
Which is NOT a characteristic of a plant:
a) produce through binary fission
b) specialized reproductive organs
c) photosynthesis
d) eukaryotic
a) produce through binary fission
Which of these cells fuse during sexual reproduction?
Diploid gametes
Haploid gametes
Diploid zygote
Haploid zygote
HAPLOID sperm fuses with a haploid egg to produce a diploid cell called a zygote, which then divides by mitosis to produce a new organism
What does algae contain, and what does it do (HINT:what does it capture) ?
Algae contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that they use to capture the Sun's energy
Do plant-like protists make their own food?
Plant-like protists are called algae. They include single-celled diatoms and multicellular seaweed. Like plants, algae contain chlorophyll and make food by photosynthesis.
Can plants reproduce sexually or asexually ?
Both! They can reproduce sexually or asexually
Which is a autotroph, and explain why
Plant-like protists are autotrophs because they are capable of making their own food through photosynthesis
