plants Flashcards
characteristics of fungi
eukaryotic
multicellular
chitin
sessile
heterotrophs
warmth, moisture and oxygen for growth
structure of fungi
made up of hyphae
RHIZOIDS, anchor it absorb nutrients
MYCELLIUM, branching filaments
ASCENDING HYPHAE, filaments that grow up ending in reproductive structure
nutrition of fungi
saprophytes, break down materials with enzymes
parasites living off a host
mutualistic, both organisms benefit
pros and cons of fungi
PROS, decomposers, antibiotics, food source, monitor air quality
CONS, can cause disease, destroy food, poisonous
traits of plants
multicellular, eukaryotic. autotrophic, cellulose, lacks mobilty,
plants life cycle
gametophyte, gamete production
sporophyte, diploid or spore production
plant adaptions to land
cuticle and stomata to retain moisture
vascular tissues to move nutrients and water, provide structure
reproduce without water
non vascular plants or bryophytes traits
moss, liverworts, hornworts
no transport system
no vascular tubes to transport nutrients, need moist habitat
no support
no true roots stems or leaves
rely on osmosis
need water for reproduction
gametophyte is dominant
vascular plants or tracheophytes traits
true terrestrial plants
contain vascular tissue, xylem and phloem
cuticle to reduce water loss
difference between xylem and phloem
xylem transports water
phloem transports food and nutrients
traits of sporophyta or seedless plants
have vascular tissue
rhizome instead of stem and leafy fronds
depend on water for reproduction
sporophyte is dominant
traits of gymnosperms
naked seed protected by cones
thin needles for retaining moisture
no water for reproduction
sporophyte is dominant
trait of angiosperms
flowering plants
monocots or dicots
flower is the gametophyte
seeds produced on ovary
can clone themselves
sporophytes is dominant
difference between dicot and monocot
MONOCOT, veins are parallel, vascular bundles complexly arranged, fibrous roots, multiples of three
DICOTS, veins are netlike, vascular bundles in ring, taproot, multiples of 4 or 5
what is a imperfect fungi
they reproduce asexually and have no know process of sexual reproduction, will be reclassified if they have method of reproduction
