Plantae
This part of the plant absorbs minerals and water from the soil.
The roots.
These organisms in the Fungi Kingdom are multicellular and grow in damp soil. They release beneficial nutrients into the earth.
Mushrooms.
Organisms in this kingdom keep their DNA in the cell nucleus. How do we call these organisms?
Eukaryotes.
This is the only kingdom with which type of cell?
Prokaryotic cells.
True or false. Mushrooms are a type of plant.
False.
True or false. Plants are both asexual and sexual organisms.
True.
This organism in the Fungi Kingdom can cause dangerous diseases but also is used for medicine and antibiotics.
Mould.
Name the two organisms we studied in this kingdom.
Protozoa and Algae
What is the most common organism in this kingdom?
Bacteria.
Plants are autotrophs because...
they create their own food through photosynthesis.
What is the function of stomata?
To breathe.
Stomata allow carbon dioxide and oxygen into and out of the leaves.
Fungi are decomposers. This means they perform which type of nutrition?
Heterotrophic.
Organisms in this kingdom are unicellular or multicellular?
Both. Protozoa are unicellular, and algae can be multicellular and unicellular.
How do organisms in this kingdom reproduce?
By cell division.
Asexually.
Name a plant that reproduces sexually, and one that reproduces asexually.
Asexually: onions, garlic, bulbs...
Sexually: Flowers, fruits, plants with seeds...
Why are leaves important in photosynthesis?
They absorb carbon dioxide and energy from the sun.
This organism in the Fungi Kingdom is unicellular and is used to make bread.
Yeast.
Organisms in this kingdom are heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Both. Protozoa are heterotrophic, and algae are normally autotrophic.
Bacteria cells work alone, or as a team?
Why?
Alone, they are unicellular.
They can adapt to and live in harsh or extreme environments.
Name the organism and kingdom.
Bacteria, Monera Kingdom.
Explain the difference between xylem sap and phloem sap.
How do mushrooms reproduce?
With spores.
Name three different methods protozoa use to move.
Cilia, Flagella, Pseudopod.
Name one beneficial bacteria, and one harmful bacteria.
Examples:
Beneficial: Digestion, probiotics, antibiotics
Harmful: conjunctivitis, salmonella, tuberculosis
Explain why algae can be both harmful and beneficial for the water.
Algae perform photosynthesis and expel oxygen. A balanced amount of oxygen is beneficial for the water, but too much is harmful.
