Question 1

Protist

Answer 1

an organism that belongs to the king protista

Question 2

Heterotroph

Answer 2

are organism that cannot make their on food

Question 3

Eukaryote

Answer 3

an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.

Question 4

Decomposer

Answer 4

an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material.

Question 5

Parasite

Answer 5

an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other’s expense.

Question 6

Host

Answer 6

an animal or plant on or in which a parasite or commensal organism lives.

Question 7

Fungi

Answer 7

any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.

Question 8

Spore

Answer 8

a minute, typically one-celled, reproductive unit capable of giving rise to a new individual without sexual fusion, characteristic of lower plants, fungi, and protozoans.

Question 9

Lichen

Answer 9

a simple slow-growing plant that typically forms a low crusty, leaflike, or branching growth on rocks, walls, and trees.

Question 10

Nonvascular plant

Answer 10

Nonvascular Plants Defined. Nonvascular plants belong to the division Bryophyta, which includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants have no vascular tissue, so the plants cannot retain water or deliver it to other parts of the plant body.

Question 11

Vascular plant

Answer 11

a plant that is characterized by the presence of conducting tissue.

Question 12

Gymnosperm

Answer 12

a plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit. Gymnosperms include the conifers, cycads, and ginkgo.

Question 13

Angiosperm

Answer 13

a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel. The angiosperms are a large group and include herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees.

Question 14

Giardia

Answer 14

An intestinal infection caused by a giardia parasite.

Question 15

. Malaria

Answer 15

A disease caused by a plasmodium parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes.

Question 16

Toxoplasmosis

Answer 16

A disease that results from infection with the Toxoplasma gondii parasite.

Question 17

Asexual Reproduction

Answer 17

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.

Question 18

Phototropism

Answer 18

the orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward the source of light ( positive phototropism ) or away from it ( negative phototropism ).

Question 19

Gravitropism

Answer 19

Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a coordinated process of differential growth by a plant or fungus in response to gravity pulling on it. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms.

Question 20

Tropism

Answer 20

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

Question 21

Transpiration

Answer 21

(of a plant or leaf) the exhalation of water vapor through the stomata.

Question 22

Cellular respiration

Answer 22

Cellular respiration 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 23

Photosynthesis

Answer 23

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
