Q

Penicillin

A

Antibiotic made by fungi

20
Q

Fungi - Cell Type

A

Eukaryotic, mold/mushrooms=multicellular! yeast =unicellular

21
Q

Fungi - Adaptation

A

Many ways of reproducing, more offspring

22
Q

Fungi - Nutrition

A

All absorb food

23
Q

Fungi - release energy

A

Yeast - fermentation, others - cellular respiration

24
Q

Fungi - Reproduction

A

Asexual (budding), sexual (spores, fusing hyphae)

25
Fungi - diseases
Athlete's foot - itchy, sore skin
26
Conjugation
Cells trade genetic information
27
Binary fission
One cell splits into two
28
Protists - Cell Type
Eukaryotic, mostly unicellular
29
Protists - Adaptations
Many ways to get energy, can live in many environments
30
Protists - Reproduction
Sexual (conjugation), Asexual (binary fission)
31
Protists - Nutrition
Plant-like (algae) = photosynthesis Animal-like (Protozoa) = eat food Fungus-like = absorb food
32
How do protists release energy from glucose?
Cellular respiration
33
Protists - Diseases
Malaria: fever, chills, kills many people in the world
34
Plants - Cell Type
Eukaryotic, multicellular
35
Plants - Adaptations
Stomata, exchange gases and control water loss | Vascular tissue, transport materials
36
Plants - Reproduction
Sexual - flowers | Asexual, too
37
Plants - Nutrition
Photosynthesis
38
Plants - release energy from glucose
Cellular respiration
39
Stamen
Male part of flower
40
Pistil
Female part of flower
41
Pollen
"Dust" that contains sperm
42
Fertilization
Sperm and egg join
43
Photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water + sun's energy ---> glucose + oxygen
44
Cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + energy
45
Fermentation
Glucose ---> carbon dioxide + alcohol + energy
