Prokaryotes/Viruses
This type of cell lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
These protists are photosynthetic and include organisms like algae.
What are plant-like protists?
These nonvascular plants lack roots and absorb water via osmosis and are typically only one cell thick
What are bryophytes?
This plant hormone triggers fruit ripening.
What is ethylene?
These are the two domains that contain prokaryotes.
What are Bacteria and Archaea?
This fungal structure consists of threadlike filaments that form the body of a fungus.
What are hyphae?
This structure allows seed plants to reproduce without requiring free-standing water.
What is pollen?
This force keeps plants upright by maintaining water pressure inside cells.
What is turgor pressure?
This viral reproductive cycle results in the immediate destruction of the host cell.
What is the lytic cycle?
This process allows fungi to reproduce by producing lightweight reproductive cells that spread easily.
What is spore formation?
These flowering plants have one cotyledon and parallel veins.
What are monocots?
This process is the primary driver of water movement upward through xylem.
What is transpiration?
This common motility structure allows some bacteria to move through aquatic environments.
What is a flagellum?
This type of fungus produces spores inside sac-like structures called asci.
What are sac fungi (Ascomycota)?
This plant tissue is responsible for active cell division of roots and stems.
What is meristematic tissue?
This pigment changes color depending on pH and contributes to red and purple leaf coloration.
What are anthocyanins?
This specialized layer in the cell wall protects bacteria and determines Gram-positive vs. Gram-negative classification.
What is peptidoglycan?
This ecological role of fungi allows them to recycle nutrients back into ecosystems.
What are decomposers?
This unique process in angiosperms produces both a zygote and endosperm.
What is double fertilization?
This hypothesis explains how sugars move through phloem.
What is the pressure-flow hypothesis?
