Biodiversity Flashcards
Why are viruses not alive
- Not made of cells
2. Can’t reproduce on their own
How viruses reproduce
Make host cell make copies of them
Disease caused by virus
Influenza - respiratory symptoms, aches, fever, fatigue
Vaccine
Dead or weakened pathogen
How vaccine works
Prepares body to fight disease in the future
Prokaryotic
Cell with no nucleus
Pathogen
Germ-causes a disease
Antibiotic
Medicine that kills bacteria
Bacteria - Cell Type
Prokaryotic, unicellular
Bacteria - Adaptation
Flagella, helps it move
Bacteria - Reproduction
Asexual (binary fission)
Bacteria - Nutrition
Absorb, photosynthesis
Bacteria - Disease
Strep throat - sore throat, fever
Archaea - Cell Type
Prokaryotic, unicellular
Archaea - Adaptation
Chemosynthesis, helps them get food
Live in harsh environments, can live anywhere
Archaea - Nutrition
Chemosynthesis and other ways
Chemosynthesis
Making food from chemicals
Eukaryotic
Cell that has a nucleus
Penicillin
Antibiotic made by fungi
Fungi - Cell Type
Eukaryotic, mold/mushrooms=multicellular! yeast =unicellular
Fungi - Adaptation
Many ways of reproducing, more offspring
Fungi - Nutrition
All absorb food
Fungi - release energy
Yeast - fermentation, others - cellular respiration
Fungi - Reproduction
Asexual (budding), sexual (spores, fusing hyphae)
Fungi - diseases
Athlete’s foot - itchy, sore skin
Conjugation
Cells trade genetic information
Binary fission
One cell splits into two
Protists - Cell Type
Eukaryotic, mostly unicellular
Protists - Adaptations
Many ways to get energy, can live in many environments
Protists - Reproduction
Sexual (conjugation), Asexual (binary fission)
Protists - Nutrition
Plant-like (algae) = photosynthesis
Animal-like (Protozoa) = eat food
Fungus-like = absorb food
How do protists release energy from glucose?
Cellular respiration
Protists - Diseases
Malaria: fever, chills, kills many people in the world
Plants - Cell Type
Eukaryotic, multicellular
Plants - Adaptations
Stomata, exchange gases and control water loss
Vascular tissue, transport materials
Plants - Reproduction
Sexual - flowers
Asexual, too
Plants - Nutrition
Photosynthesis
Plants - release energy from glucose
Cellular respiration
Stamen
Male part of flower
Pistil
Female part of flower
Pollen
“Dust” that contains sperm
Fertilization
Sperm and egg join
Photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water + sun’s energy —> glucose + oxygen
Cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen —> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Fermentation
Glucose —> carbon dioxide + alcohol + energy
