A dumpster for Eukaryotes
If it is not a plant, animal, or fungi it must be a
What is a Protist?
The science of classifying organisms
This female reproductive structure is only found in angiosperms and becomes the fruit that encases and protects the embryos (seeds)
What is the ovary?
In Ferns, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms this is the dominate generation
What is the Sporophyte?
The three stages of Fungal sexual reproduction
What are Plasmogamy, karyogamy, and Meiosis?
These are heterotrophic fungi like organisms (but lack chitin in their cell walls) that can be single-cell organisms (cellular) or aggregate together to form multicellular organisms (plasmodial)
What are slime molds?
The field of organizing and classifying organisms based on evolutionary relationships
What is Systematics?
In plants haploid gametes are produced via this type of cell division
What is mitosis?
In ferns these structures produce spores and are on the underside of the leaves
What are sori?
Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, Chytridiomycota, Glomeromycota, Zygomycota
What are the five major groups of Fungi?
A form of asexual reproduction where an outgrowth of a part of a cell leads to a separation from the original animal into two individuals
What is budding?
Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
What are the 3 domains of life?
In plants haploid spores are produced via this type of cell division
What is meiosis?
The multicellular stage of the plant that gives rise to haploid gametes or spores
What is the gametophyte?
This type of fungi has specialized fungal hyphae that penetrate the outer cells of plant root
What are arbuscular mycorrhizae?
A group of predominantly aquatic, photosynthetic, and nucleus-bearing organisms that lack the true roots, stems, leaves, and specialized multicellular reproductive structures of plants.
What are algae?
Applying the simplest, most obvious way with the least number of steps
What is Parsimony?
A primitive leaf that develops in the zygote; monocots have one, and dicots have two
What are cotyledons?
The multicellular diploid stage in plants that is formed after the fusion of male and female gametes
What is the sporophyte?
When two haploid nuclei coexist in a single cell
What is Dikaryotic?
A diverse group of mostly microscopic organisms that drift in marine and freshwater systems and serve as a food source for larger aquatic organisms
What are plankton?
DAILY DOUBLE
1. Biological structures having similar or corresponding functions but not from the same evolutionary origin
2. Parallel structures in diverse organisms that have a common ancestor
What is 1. Analogy and 2. Homology?
DAILY DOUBLE
1. This carries water and nutrients from the roots up through the plant
2. This carries sugars, proteins, and other solutes (photosynthates, hormones) throughout the plant from sources to sinks
What is 1. Xylem and 2. Phloem?
These structures anchor mosses to substrates
What are rhizoids?
The structures that produce spores in Fungi
What are fruiting bodies?
