Exam 3 Flashcards
what is the primary storage polysaccharide in fungus
glycogen
in most fungi, karagomy does not immediately plasmogamy, which means
- fusion of cytoplasm occurs without immediate fusion of nuclei
- results in cell containing two distinct nuclei/dikaryotic cells
in what order do fungi process food compared to animals
digest externally
absorption
what happens in the small intestine of animals
- digestion: enzymes (chemical digestion) break particles into smaller components
- absorption: villi increase the surface area to help absorb particles through cells walls and bloodstream
- transport: nutrients enter bloodstream and transported to various cells and tissues
- movement: muscular contraction
all fungi are
- heterotrophic
- have cells walls with chitin
- reproduce sexually or asexually through spores
- have network of hyphae that form mycelium to absorb nutrients
what structure in fungi is for nutrient absorption and is made of thread like filaments
hyphae
in plants, what is produced by meiosis
haploid spores
- diploid cells in sporophyte generation divide to produce four haploid spores
what type of symbiosis benefits one organism while harming the other
parasitism
what is the plant structure that transports water
xylem
how do animals with an incomplete digestive track process food
- ingestion thru mouth
- digestion and absorption occur in central cavity
- nutrients absorbed directly thru into cells of central cavity
- undigested food expelled thru same opening (mouth)
- two way digestive system (one opening)
what is parthenogenesis in animals
form of asexual reproduction in which egg develops into organism with fertilized by sperm
what is karyogamy
- fusion of two nuclei
- follows plasmogamy
- sexual reproduction
- two haploid nuclei fuse to form diploid nucleus
bacterium living in underground septic tank thrives by absorbing organic compounds from decomposing wastes, what is it
- saprophytic bacteria
- bacillus, pseudomonas
- chemoheterotroph
what is/are examples of asexual reproduction in plants
- rhizomes
- stolon
- tubers
what is the asexual form of reproduction in animals
- budding
- fission
- fragmentation
- parthenogenesis
- regeneration
unlike eukaryotes and archaea, bacterial cell walls contain unique substance called
peptidoglycan
which component is found in fungal cell walls that provide strength
chitin
particular species of protist obtained chloroplast via secondary endosymbiosis, you know this because the chloroplast
because chloroplast typically have four membranes
