inorganic (CO2)

34
Q

autotrophs get their carbon from

A

CO2

35
Q

A

organic compound

36
Q

what does the digestion of the wood (cellulose) in termites

A

bacteria inside eukaryotes inside the gut

archaea glows

37
Q

explain the coupled reaction between cyanobacteria and ,non sulfur bacteria

A

cyanobacteria is a autotroph and produce glucose and oxygen that non sulfur bacteria use as a carbon source

38
Q

where do we expect to find primary producers in a winogradsky column

A

on top

39
Q

where do we expect to find obligate anaerobes in winogradsky column?

A

bottom

40
Q

body form of microbial eukaryote

associated with forms of locomotion

A

ciliate : have many short cilia for rapid movement and feeding
amoeboid : irregular shape that moves by cytoplasm streaming
flagalette : has flagella for fast movement

41
Q

primary endosymbiosis

A

transferred among various lineages but only arose once (chloroplasts)

42
Q

schizogony

A

multiple fission to daughter cells

happens inside of liver of human

43
Q

phloem vs xylem

A

phloem : conducts products of photosynthesis from leaves

xylem : conducts water and minerals from the soil

44
Q

wide vs thin rings on tree

A
wide = winter and rainy
thin= summer and dry

dependant on how much water

45
Q

microphylls vs megaphylls

A

microphyl is like a flattened leaf

megaphyll go through

1) dichotomous branching
2) overtopping
3) webbing

46
Q

indeterminate vs. determinate

A
indeterminate = stem
determinate = leves
47
Q

monocot

A
one cotyledon 
scattered vascular bundles
parallel leaf veination

mono sperm
48
Q

eudicot

A
two cotyledons
ordered vascular bundles
netted leaf venation
flower parts in 3 or 4
tricuplate
49
Q

sporangium

A

where spores are produced then released

50
Q

sporophyll

A

a leaf that has sporangia

underneath it has sori

51
Q

strobilus

A

stacking of sporophylls into clusters
strobili (cones)
flowers can also be a strobilus

52
Q

heterospory in selaginella

A

strobili at tips of branches

both cones have micro and megasporangia

53
Q

ovule is the

A

megasporangium

54
Q

Three steps of fertilization (gymnosperm)

A

pollen lands on ovulate cone
pollen grows pollen tube
pollen delivers sperm directly within archegonium

55
Q

A

non reproductive parts of a flower

56

63
Q

what does the red pigment do in leaves?

A

acts like a mirror for more photosynthesis

collects suspended aquatic particles around them

ex: plankton

69
Q

filter feeder

A

food separated from water by passage through certain structure
ex: shrimp

70
Q

deposit feeder

A

extract food from sediments by selectively removing digestible particles from soil or water
ex: crab

71
Q

function feeding

A

food brought into mouth with water
water is separated before digestion
ex; fish

72
Q

intracellular digestion vs extracellular digestion

A

intracellular: food items are small, can be taken into individual cells and digested

extracellular : requires to break down large food particles in a cavity

73
Q
