What domain do protists and fungi belong to?
Eukarya
What is a protist?
doesnt have all features of a plant animal or fungus
What protist may be similar to ancestors of animal cells?
Choanoflagellates
What animal cell do protists resemble?
collar cells in sponges
What kind of environment will you most likely find protists?
moist if not aquatic
3 adaptations of that arose in protists?
sexual reproductionorganellesmulticellularity
plant like protist?
algae
fungi like protist?
water moldsslime molds
animal like protists?
parameciaamoeba
How are fungi and animals similar?
heterotrophscell walls composed of chitin like exoskeletonsstore carbs as glycogen
main role of fungi?
major decomposers of living world
structures of of fungi
spores, hyphae, mycellium
what role do spores play?
reproductive cells
what is the fruiting body of the fungus
specialized sexual spore producing organ
4 phyla of fungi?
chytridiomyceteszygomycetesascomycetesbasidiomycetes
example of ascomycetes
dutch elm disease, chestnut blight, athletes foot, truffels and morels
examples of basidiomycetes
mushrooms, puffballs, stinkhorns, shelf fungi, birds nest fungi
what is mychorrhizae?
mutually beneficial relationship between fungal hyphae and plant roots.
what are the 3 domains?
bacteriaarchaeaeukarya
what does prokaryote mean?
before the nucleus
characteristics of prokaryotes
Single celled organismsno nucleusno organellesDo have:DNA in ringsribosomescell membranes
whats is unique about archaeans?
look like bacteria but not as diverselive in crazy extreme environments
characteristics of archaea
no nucleusno organellescell wallmembranes allow them to live in huge fluctuations of pH and temperature
how do archaea reproduce?
binary fission
how do methanogens (lithtrophs) get their fuel?
chemical energy
how do halophiles (phototrophs) get their fuel?
the sun
how do thermophiles (organotrophs) get their fuel?
break down organic materials
what are cocci shape
sphericalalone, chains, or clustered
what are bacilli shape
rod single or chains
what is biofilm?
organized colonies of one or several species attached to a surface such as rock or living tissue
how do bacteria reproduce
binary fission
how do bacteria transfer DNA between cells?
tranformationtransductionconjugation
transformation DNA transfer
dead bacteria release DNA into environment that may be taken up by other bacteria and intergrated
transduction DNA transfer
bacteriophage infects bacteria and transfers it to another bacteria
conjugation DNA transfer
physical connection by sex pilus
Plasmid DNA transfer
plasmid can be duplicated and transferred to a new bacteria
endosymbiosis
one species lives inside a host species
why arent viruses alive?
no cells and cannot reproduce on their ownmust infect another cell to be alive
what is a bacteriophage?
a virus that infects and replicates in a bacteriainject their viral genome into cytoplasm
two phases of virus life cycle
lysogeniclytic
lysogenic cycle
viral DNA is inserted in bacterial chromosome and dormant for long periods
lytic cycle
viral DNA replicates using cells machinery, kills the death of host cell
what type of virus is HIV
retrovirus with an RNA genome
HIV characteristics
target immune system
what enzyme does HIV use
reverse transcriptase
what is a prion?
an infectious protein, misshapen version of a normal brain proteincluster together to disrupt brain function
what is a viroid?
small circular RNA molecules that can infect plants
Plant adaptations to succeed on land
stomata, leaves, cuticle, vascular system, lignin, roots
bryophyte improvements
stomata and cuticle
seedless vascular plant improvements
xylem and phloem allow for true roots stems and leaves
sporophyte
diploid
gametophyte
haploid
gymnosperm improvements
pollen grains produce sperm that dont need water
seed
young sporophyte packaged with enough food in tough outer coat
angio sperm improvementes
flowers and fruits help disperse pollen and seeds
xylem
transports water and minerals
phloem
transports nutrients, sugars and horomones
