Plants
What part of the plant is involved in nutrient uptake?
The roots
How does the stigma catch pollen for reproduction?
It is sticky, so the pollen sticks to it.
Veins transport blood to the heart. Arteries transport away from the heart
There are 3 kinds of muscles. What are they?
Cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle
Viruses are...
Prokaryotic
Endospores
non-living
Eukaryotic
Non-living
A plant growing in response to a greenhouse light is known as
Phototropism
The part of the stamen that produces spores that eventually become pollen is known as
The anther
What body systems work to break down food into nutrients and then transport those nutrients to the rest of the body?
Digestive and Circulatory systems
What body systems provide defense from injury and Illness
Integumentary (skin) system and Immune system
Viruses have what in common with common cells
They have an ER
they use Glucose
they have chloroplast
they contain genetic information
they contain genetic information
The transfer of Pollen, the cells containing the sperm cells, to the female part of the plant is known as
Pollination
What's the primary purpose of Transpiration in plants?
To cool off through water evaporation
What body systems interact to provide movement based on an outside stimulis
Nervous system and muscular system
You are shivering outside. What systems are working to keep your warm?
Nervous system and the muscular system
Viruses are not considered alive because they are not made of
cells
A tropism is
a plant's response movement in response to an outside stimulus
After fertilization, what does the ovary develop into?
A fruit
What systems work together to digest sugar intake
Digestive and endocrine systems
Blood pressure increases
-> Receptors in carotids send message to the brain
-> Brain sends message to heart to slow down heart rate.
What two systems are at play here
Circulatory and nervous systems
Some viruses have envelopes that were not made by them. Where did they get these envelopes that cover them?
The host cell
What are guard cells, and what do they do within the plant? Where are they located?
The guard cells regulate the opening and closing of the stomata. They are on the underside of leaves
What are the 5 levels of plants?
Green algae, moss-like plants, ferns, cone-bearing plants, fruit bearing plants
what systems deal with changes in the heart rate for the body
Nervous and circulatory systems
As you hyperventilate, the CO2 levels in your blood would increase. As this happens, it causes your blood pH to increase, causing your blood vessels to constrict and you become dizzy. What two systems are at play here to make you dizzy
Respiratory and circulatory systems
Viruses only attack specific cells becuase
they have specific attachment proteins (glycoproteins) that attach to only specific cells. Ex. Polio attaching to nerve and intenstinal cells
