rotisserie fungi plants Flashcards
an organism that belongs to the kingdom protista.
protist
an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
Heterotroph
are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike prokaryotic, which have no membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryota
an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material.
Decomposer
is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.
parasite
an animal or plant on or in which a parasite or commensurable organism lives.
Host
any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.
Fungi
Spores are single-celled reproductive units produced by many different organisms, including plants, fungi, and bacteria.
Spore
a skin disease in which small pimples or bumps occur close together.
Lichen
The non-vascular plants include mosses, hornets and liverworts, and some algae.
Non-vascular plant
Vascular plants, also known as tracheotomy, 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.
Vascular plant
a plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit. Gymnosperms include the conifers, cycads, and ginkgo.
Gymnosperm
a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel.
Angiosperm
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis
is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
Cellular respiration
f a plant or leaf the exhalation of water vapor through the stomata.
Transpiration
the turning of all or part of an organism in a particular direction in response to an external stimulus.
Tropism
is a coordinated process of differential growth by a plant or fungus in response to gravity pulling on it.
Gravitropism
the orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward the source of light .
Phototropism
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only.
Asexual reproduction
the vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.
Xylem
the vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.
Phloem
