Q

What does a fungus grow out of or on

A

It grows on its food compared to a plant which makes its food. It lives on its food in order to digest it and get the nutrients it need to survive. The fungus secretes enzymes out of its body on the food to break down the molecules so they are small enough to. E absorbed by the funguses body. Similar to animals

Q

Do humans put food into their body

A

No

Food is put into the Alimentary canal which is the tube from mouth to anus. And I’m the tube is still outside of the body because the food doesn’t go into the cells. Digestive enzymes are secreted out of the body to break down the food and absorbed the small enough molecules. Similar to a fungus

Q

Evidence that charophyte algae and plants are sister taxa?

A

Protein complexes that are ring like that act as molecular machines. Both charophyte and plants have cell wall. Both are made of cellulose

Strings of structural glucose monosaccharides

Ring like protein complex exports the glucose structural sacharides to outside cell to make cell wall

Q

Fungi live their adult life as haploid or diploid

A

Haploid. Their cells are haploid of their body

The gametes will creat a zygot that immediately undergoes meiosis that then grow from there

Q

Alternation of generation

A

Only for plants. The haploid stage and the diploid stage are multicellular. The sporophyte is the diploid stage

The gametophytes is the haploid stage

Q

Bryophytes

A

Easily see the gametophyte generation and the sporophyte generation

They are very small moss sporophyte on top supported by the gametophyte

Q

Why can’t cells get indefinitely big

A

Because of the surface area to volume ratio. The more volume you have the less surface there is to exchange enough materials for that much volume. Volume increases faster than surface area

Q

How do large multicellular organisms exist. What brings the nutrients to the cells that are deep with the organisms that can’t be reached by diffusion

A

Vessels. Like blood vessels in humans.

Conducted through the vessels is a fluid that is the environment that cells can use to get their nutrients

19
Q

Fungi are made up Tunisia called hapha the collection of these are called what

A

Mycelium

20
Q

Mycelium do what

A

Narrow tubes that run through the food that drastically increase the surface area of contact between the fungus and the food

21
Q

What does the mushroom shaped thing represent on fungi

A

A sexual organ called a fruiting body for producing spores. This makes more fungi. At this point the fungus is already mature

22
Q

Mycorrhizal relationship

A

Fungus root. Myco means fungus

Hypha of fungus go through cell walls of plant but do not pierce the membrane and lay a hand looking surface on the membrane. Like fingers poking a water balloon
This maximizes the surface area to exchange Marie materials between the plant and fungus

Mutualistic symbiosis

23
Q

How can fungi reproduce

A

Sexually or asexually

24
Q

Fertilization of fungi is separated into two ways based on time and the fusion of membrane and nucleus. What are the two different things called

A

Plasmogamy- fusion of cytoplasm temporarily with two nuclei this is a heterokaryotic stage- different nuclei

Karyogamy- the fusion of the two nuclei
Of the cell

Then there is a zygote

25
Q

Adult fungus going through a sexual reproduction is

A

Doesn’t undergo meiosis because it is already haploid so it produces cells that are the same through meiosis and then releases these through spores. These offspring are identical to the parent

26
Q

What are the five major groups of fungi

A
Chytrids which are the basal taxon(1000species)
Zygomycetes(1000)
Glomeromycetes (160 but most widespread)
Ascomycetes (65,000)
Basidiomycetes (30,000)
27
Q

How are chytrids different from the rest of the catergories of fungi

A

They are unicellular
Include yeast.
Some are also aquatic

28
Q

Are plants a true clade

A

Yes. This is also true for plants animals and fungi

29
Q

What did plants evolve from

A

An ancestral green alga

30
Q

What are the two major groups of plants

A

Non vascular and vascular

31
Q

Vascular plants can be split into what two major groups

A

Seedless ie ferns are the most common example does. It produce seeds has free swimming gametes

And

Seed plants

32
Q

Seeded vascular plant ya have what over other plants

A

The most advantage because the seed allows for more adaptive radiation and reproduction

33
Q

What are the two types of seeded plants

A

Gymnosperms ( means naked seed)

And

Angiosperms (chambered seed or vessels)

Angiosperms are the most successful

34
Q

What is the most successful type of plant

A

Angiosperms because they developed flowers fruit double fertilization

35
Q

What is the dominant generation of bryophytes

A

The gametophyte is the dominant generation because it is larger and supports the sporophyte

36
Q

Seedless vascular plants have what dominant generation

A

The sporophyte generation is dominant and is much bigger than the gametophytes. It both are multicellular because of alternation of generations

37
Q

Seeded vascular plants have what dominant generation

A

Sporophyte is the dominant generation and the gametophyte is only a couple cells and within the body of the sporophyte

38
Q

An underutilized seed of a plant is called what

A

An ovule

39
Q

An ovule contains what

A

The gametophyte generation inside it and if the sperm from the male gametophyte then the ovul becomes a seed with a developing embryo

40
Q

Why do plants make flowers

A

To attract animals to help the plants pollinate.

41
Q

4 worls of flowers

A

Carpel female part egg producing device and producing of ovule
Stamen.

Petal
Sepal

42
Q

What is a lichen

A

Symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a microscopic photosynthetic organism

Grow on bare rock

Allows for soil production from the rock by breaking it down along with organic material from the organisms

43
Q

Endophyte

A

A fungus within a plant and the cells. Not the roots mutualistic relationship

Less mortality rate of leaf with endophyte

44
Q

Radial symmetry and bilateral of flowers was proven to ha e more what in one of the symmetries

A

More adaptive radiation in the radial summery because insects can get in easier and brush the appropriate stuff more easily compare to bilateral flowers
