BIO Lab 3: Plant Community ecology/ cells Flashcards
Def of Species richness
number of species per unit area
quadrat
use to measure the square area m^2
What happens with the effect of the slope facing
number of species of forbs
What’s the transect method
set length that is placed
What are woody plants
trees or shrubs
What is herbaceous
nonwoody plants
Def of Forbs
herbaceous plants that aren’t grasses
Def of Simple leaves
leaves with a single leaf
Compound leafs def
2 or more leafs
Def of stomata
leaves with specialized openings
def of transpiration
leaf with water vapor also lost leaf openings in process
Prokaryotes
bacteria and generally bacteria-like organisms called archaeans
What is Plasma membrane made out of
Prokaryotes
What is in the cytosol
plasma membrane made with a phospholipid bilayer with proteins surrounded
What is DNA
cytosol in bacterium surrounds the cell’s circular loop
What Ribosome
in cytosol made of protein and RNA
What is a cell wall and how do they differ among different types of cells?
It is the thick and rigid structure with a fixed shape.
What is a petiole
the stalks that joins a leaf to a stem; leafstalk.
What does it mean for a plant to have opposite leaves?
two leaves arise from the stem at the same level (at the same node), on opposite sides of the stem
What are stomata plants and what are they used for?
to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
What is lab 3 about
Using quadrat method to determine species richness and eveness
