What are more abundant? gymnosperms or angiosperms?
angiosperms

What is the definition of absorptive heterotrophy. Aka how fungi get their energy.
digestion happening OUTSIDE of the organism
100
Where does the nutrient absorbtion happen on a hyphae?
The tip

What are the three main types of bryophytes?
Moss, hornwort, liverworts
remember the bryophytes are nonvascular

pollen
200
What is a single celled fungi called?
Yeast!
200
What are the two types of hyphae?
Coenocytic and Septate
300
Are nonvasuclar land plants sporphyte or gametophyte dominant?
Gametophyte
300
What is the most abundant gymnosperm?
conifer
300
What is the difference between an imperfect vs an incomplete flower?
imperfect: can be missing any whorl
incomplete: missing the carpel or the stamen
300
What is a faculative parasite? How does it differ from an obligate parasite?
A faculative parasite can grow on living organsims but also grow on their own. As opposed to an obligate parasite that grows on a specific host.

Give an example of fungi acting as a predator to an animal.
Various answers to be accepted; for example: fungi can use hyphae to get a small animal trapped, and then secrete enzymes to break it down and eat it.

What is the advantage of having large leaves?
More surface area = more sunlight
400
Are (most) vasuclar or nonvasuclar plants heterosporous?
vascular
400
In an angiosperm.. the seeds are enclosed in ____
fruits

Multicellular fungi have hyphae. Hyphae have many functions like: containing the cytoplasm (including the nuclei containing the genetic material), and can become bound together to form complex structures. What is the other important function of hyphae?
They absorb nutrients from the environment and transport them to the thallus (fungal body)
400
Give an example of mutualistic fungi.
Many answers could be accepted. For example: Plants and fungi, plants give fungi carbohydrates in return for water and nutrients.

What does the xylem transport in a plant? What about phloem?
xylem: water
phloem: sugars
500
Explain how a homosporous plant produce eggs/ sperm. Give an example of a homosporous plant.
The sporophyte -> single type of spore -> single gametophyte -> egg or sperm
some ferns or horsetails

From inside to outside: name the four whorls in a perfect flower.
carpel, stamen, petals, sepals
500
How does the growth and nutrition strategy of most fungi facilitate their ability to decompose and consume other organisms?
fungi are not limited by size of food because they secrete enzymes to break down large food molecules and absorb these food molecules through absorptive heterotrophy

In dimorphic fungi..how does the fungi go from singlecellular -> multicellular
An environmental trigger
