Taxo-nom-nom!
The 8 classification groups in the classification scheme used in Apologia Biology, in order.
What are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species?
A virus uses DNA as its genetic material, but is not alive. This is the reason it is not considered alive.
What is because a virus cannot reproduce on its own?
The male reproductive organ of a flower and the female reproductive organ.
What are the stamen and the carpel?
This is the reason that bryophytes are so small.
What is because they have no vascular tissue?
Not to be confused with the fruiting body, which is usually most visible, this is actually the largest part of a mushroom.
What is the mycelium?
An organism is a single-celled, prokaryotic autotroph that lives in extremely hot environments and belongs to this domain.
What is Domain Archae?
The three common bacterial shapes. In their technical names, please. Hint: brush up on your Latin for spherical, rod-shaped and helical!
What are coccus, bacillus, and spirillum?
A botanist examines a portion of a plant and finds a lot of this type of tissue, which indicates that the plant is still growing.
What is meristematic tissue?
These two structures that transport water and nutrients in vascular plants.
What are the xylem and phloem?
You observe the mycelium of a fungus under a microscope and notice no distinct cell walls but several nuclei. The mycelium is composed of this.
What is nonseptate hyphae?
An organism is a multicellular decomposer made of eukaryotic cells and belongs to this domain and this kingdom.
What are Domain Eukarya and Kingdom Fungi?
Most bacteria use this for locomotion, while their mode of reproduction is by this means.
What are flagella and asexual reproduction?
This is typically on the underside of the leaf, usually making it a lighter shade of green due to the fact that the photosynthesis cells are not as tightly packed there.
What is the spongy mesophyll?
Of the two supporting structures in a vascular plant, this one must be made of living cells in order to be able to do their job.
What is the phloem?
Candida - thrush
What are pathogenic fungi and the malady that they cause?
Entamoeba histolytica, Trypanosoma, Balantidium coli, Plasmodium, and Toxoplasma are examples of these.
What are pathogenic organisms from Kingdom Protista?
Conjugation can significantly affect the growth of a population of bacteria, even though conjugation does not result in offspring. Conjugation uses a small strand of DNA called THIS to pass a trait from one bacterium to another. If the trait that is passed allows the bacteria to survive when they otherwise would not have, then conjugation will increase the population.
What is a plasmid?
What is deciduous?
Two plants are being observed. The first plant produces seed cones and pollen cones. The second plant produces flowers. They are both vascular, but belong to these two different groups of plants, in respective order.
What are gymnosperms and angiosperms?
The forming of this is a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and an alga. The alga produces food for both creatures via photosynthesis, and the fungus supports and protects the alga.
What is a lichen?
This phylum contains fungi that do not have a known mode of sexual reproduction.
What is Phylum Deuteromycota?
Sarcodina: pseudopods,
Zooflagellates: flagella,
Ciliophora: cilia
What is the means of locomotion employed by the organisms in phyla: Sarcodina, Zooflagellates, Ciliophora?
These top the list:
-cotyledons (one has one and the other has two)-flower parts (one has multiples of 3 and the other has multiples of 4 or 5)
What are the differences in monocots and dicots?
The dominant generation in the moss life cycle and the dominant generation in the fern life cycle.
What are gameophyte generation and sporophyte generation?
The forming of this is a mutualistic relationships between a fungus’s mycelium and a plant’s root system. The mycelium takes nutrients from the root, while it collects minerals from the soil and gives it to the root.
What are Mycorrhizae?
