protist, plant, fungi

Question 1

any of a diverse taxonomic group and especially a kingdom (Protista syn. Protoctista) of eukaryotic organisms that are unicellular and sometimes colonial or less often multicellular and that typically include the protozoans, most algae, and often some fungi (as slime molds)

Answer 1

Protist

Question 2

an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Answer 2

Heterotroph

Question 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.

Answer 3

Eukaryote

Question 4

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

Answer 4

Decomposer

Question 5

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

Answer 5

Parasite

Question 6

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

Answer 6

Host

Question 7

plural form of fungus.

Answer 7

Fungi

Question 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.

Answer 8

Spore

Question 9

is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria (or both) living among filaments of a fungus in a symbiotic relationship. The combined life form has properties that are very different from the properties of its component organisms. Lichens come in many colors, sizes, and forms

Answer 9

Lichen

Question 10

Simple nonvascular plants Green algae Complex nonvascular plants Bryophyta, mosses Marchantiophyta, liverworts Anthocerotophyta, hornworts

Answer 10

Nonvascular plant

Question 11

lso 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

Answer 11

Vascular plant

Question 12

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

Answer 12

Gymnosperm

Question 13

also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta, are the most diverse group of land plants, with about 350,000 species.

Answer 13

Angiosperm

Question 14

a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms’ activities.

Answer 14

Photosynthesis

Question 15

is the 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.

Answer 15

Cellular respiration

Question 16

s the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.

Answer 16

Transpiration

Question 17

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

Answer 17

Tropism

Question 18

is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms.

Answer 18

Gravitropism

Question 19

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 ).

Answer 19

Phototropism

Question 20

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.

Answer 20

Asexual Reproduction

Question 21

a disease caused by toxoplasmas, transmitted chiefly through undercooked meat, or in soil or cat feces. Symptoms generally pass unremarked in adults, but infection can be dangerous to unborn children.

Answer 21

Toxoplasmosis

Question 22

an intermittent and remittent fever caused by a protozoan parasite that invades the red blood cells. The parasite is transmitted by mosquitoes in many tropical and subtropical regions.

Answer 22

Malaria

Question 23

is a genus of anaerobic flagellated protozoan parasites of the phylum Sarcomastigophora that colonise and reproduce in the small intestines of several vertebrates, causing giardiasis

Answer 23

Giardia
