Angiosperms
In angiosperms ______ is the dominant generation.
What is (are) sporophytes?
The inhibition of auxiliary buds by apical buds.
A symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit in some capacity.
EX: (from finding nemo) sea anemone and clownfish
What is Mutualism?
This plant hormone was discovered in the 1960s in a study investigating the abscission seen in cotton plants. It is important for the plant's reaction to stress. It causes stomatal closure, maintains bud dormancy, and stimulates antifreeze production.
What is Abscisic Acid (ABA)?
This type of growth curve represents logistic growth and is seen in k strategists.
What is an S-shaped growth curve?
Type of fruit that results from a single flower that has several separate carpels.
What is (are) Aggregate fruits (ex:raspberry)?
What is the evaporation of water in stomata?
The measure of the total biomass accumulation in a given time period. Estimated by comparing the net flux of CO2 and O2 in an ecosystem, as they are both essential for photosynthesis.
What is the Net ecosystem production (NEP)?
NEP = gross primary production (GPP) - total respiration of all organisms in given ecosystem (Rt)
This plant hormone was first discovered in a fungus, that infected rice plants causing them to grow to massive sizes and topple over (foolish little seedling). We now know this hormone is also involved in pollen tube growth, seed germination, and promotes flowering.
What is/are Gibberellins?
Maximum number of individuals that the environment can sustain.
What is carrying capacity?
This (type of) species has staminate and carpellate flowers on separate plants.
What is (are) dioecious plants?
This long-distance vascular tissue system moves sugar molecules made from Photosynthesis and transports them throughout the plant.
What is the Phloem?
Largest terrestrial biome on Earth, it has cold winters and somewhat hot summers. Precipitation varies depending on location; some have periodic droughts, but most near the coast are wet. Animals include migratory and residential birds and large mammals such as moose, brown bears, and Siberian tigers.
What is a Northern Coniferous Forest?
A Venus fly trap reacts to a bug
What is positive thigmotropism?
Species that grows exponentially (producing a J-shaped growth curve) in the right environment. Results in a temporary large increase in pop. size. Examples include fish and insects.
What is/are r-strategists?
After the ___ has reproduced to form 8 nuclei, it is partitioned into an embryo sac.
What is a megaspore?
This type of angiosperm has a fibrous root system, one cotyledon, parallel veins, and a scattered vascular system.
What is (are) monocots?
What is turnover?
This plant hormone is involved in phototropism and builds up on the SHADED side of the plant, triggering growth on that side.
What is Auxin?
(In an effort to help you with the calculations for this unit, this question will not be worded in typical Jeopardy fashion)
A Population's growth rate is equal to 10 dN/dt. What is that population's per capita rate of increase?
10 rN
dN/dt = B - D
rN = dN/dt
The process/es required before the formation of gametes from sporophytes can occur.
What is Meiosis and Mitosis?
A plant has both Gene A and B but is lacking gene C. Its flowers will be ___.
(What is) sepal - petal - petal - sepal
Formed from the calcium carbonate skeletons of others, this starts out as an Atoll. It requires high oxygen concentrations and a solid substrate for attachment but can live in both warm photic zones and colder, deeper waters.
What is a coral reef?
Gas produced by all parts of a plant. In cases of injury the plant will increase its production of said hormone. Auxin can also trigger further production of this.
Draw a type II survivorship curve.
Should be linear line
type II means equal rates of survivorship at all ages. Typical of birds, small mammals, and some reptiles.
