Question 1

Protist

Answer 1

: any of a diverse taxonomic group and especially a kingdom

Question 2

Heterotroph

Answer 2

an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Question 3

Eukaryote

Answer 3

A eukaryote is any organism whose cells have a cell nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes

Question 4

Decomposer

Answer 4

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition

Question 5

Parasite

Answer 5

n biology, parasitism is a non-mutual relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host. Traditionally parasite primarily meant an organism visible to the naked eye, or a macroparasite

Question 6

Host

Answer 6

a person who receives or entertains other people as guests

Question 7

Fungi

Answer 7

A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms

Question 8

Spore

Answer 8

Question 9

Lichen

Answer 9

A lichen is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi in a symbiotic relationship. The combined lichen has properties different from those of its component organisms

Question 10

Nonvascular plant

Answer 10

Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem. Although non-vascular plants lack these particular tissues, many possess simpler tissues that are specialized for internal transport of wate

Question 11

Vascular plant

Answer 11

Vascular plants, also known as tracheophytes and also higher plants, form a large group of plants that are defined as those land plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant

Question 12

Gymnosperm

Answer 12

The gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that includes conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and gnetophytes. The term “gymnosperm” comes from the Greek composite word γυμνόσπερμος, meaning “naked seeds

Question 13

Angiosperm

Answer 13

Question 14

Photosynthesis

Answer 14

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms’ activities

Question 15

Cellular respiration

Answer 15

is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products

Question 16

Transpiration

Answer 16

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers

Question 17

Tropism

Answer 17

the turning of all or part of an organism in a particular direction in response to an external stimulus

Question 18

Gravitropism

Answer 18

is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity

Question 19

Phototropism

Answer 19

is the growth of an organism which responds to a light stimulus

Question 20

Asexual Reproduction

Answer 20

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes
