25
what is a eukaryote that is not a plant, animal, or fungus
protist
26
are protist usually unicellular or multicellular
multicellular
27
are animal-like or plant-like protist motile
animal-like
28
are animal-like protist hetero or autotrophs
heterotrophs
29
moves using pseudopodia
amoebas
30
how do amoebas reproduce
binary fission
31
how do paramecium move
using cilia
32
how do paramecium reproduce
sexually
33
move using flagella
flagellates
34
contractile vacuole
vacuole that contracts to expell water from protist from water movement into the organism due to osmosis
35
euglena
single cell flagellates, hetero and auto, have an eye spot, both plant and animal like
36
multicellular protist made of all one type of cell
fungus like protist
37
protists found in moist areas
fungus like protists
38
can some protists be pathogens?
yes
39
are fungi multicellular or unicellular
multicellular except for yeast
40
what are the threads that fungi are made of
hyphae
41
hyphae intertwine to form ____
mycelium
42
how do fungi reproduce
sexually and asexually
43
fungi take in food through _____
absorption, digest food outside of their body then absorb the nutrients
44
what are fungi's cell walls made of
chitin
45
what are the types of asexual reproduction that fungi use
budding, spores, binary fission
46
budding
organism grows a part of its main body and now growth eventually breaks off to become a new organism
47
spores
reproductive cell that can develop into a new organism
48
are plants multi or unicellular
multi
49
are plants eu or prokaryotic
eu
50
what are plant's cell walls made of
cellulose
51
are plants motile or non motile
non motile
52
phototropism
growing toward the light
53
gravitropism
growing toward center of gravity (roots growing down)
54
cuticle
waxy coating on top of leaves to prevent evaporation and water loss
55
green algae
aquatic (fresh and salt), protist, absorb water and nutrients through osmosis and diffusion, similar to first plants
56
what were the first plants like
lived in water and were similar to today's green algae
57
bryophytes
first plants on land, live in damp environments, no vascular tissue (can't draw water up more than 1m) move water + nutrients through osmosis and diffusion
58
mosses, hornworts, liverworts are all examples of
bryophytes
59
vascular plants
plants with tube like cells that transport water, food, and other material
60
xylem
moves water up
61
what are tree rings formed out of
dead xylem
62
phloem
moves sugar and nutrients down plant
63
are ferns seedless or seed
seedless
64
seed
plant embryo and food with protective coating
65
two types of seed plants
gymo and angiosperms
66
gymosperms
non-flowering, produce cones
67
angiosperms
flowering, seeds protected by fruit
68
two types of angiosperms
monocot and dicot
69
monocot
one cotyledon (seed leaf)
70
cotyledon
seed leaf
71
dicot
two cotyledons (seed leaves)
72
sporophyte
spore producing
73
how do plants reproduce
sexually
74
gametophyte
gamete producing
75
do flowers have male or female parts
both
76
female parts of the flower
carpel
77
male parts of the flower
stamen
78
angiosperm reproduction
anther releases pollen, pollen sticks to stigma of another flower or the same flower and pollen travels to the ovule where it finds an egg
79
self fertilization
anther releases pollen and pollen sticks to stigma of the same flower
80
ovary
female reproductive organ of a flower
81
annual flower
lives for one year
82
biennial flower
lives for two years
83
perennial flower
comes back year after year
84
how can pollen spread to other flowers
wind, pollinators
85
exoskeleton
hard parts on outside, no bones, inside, skeleton made of chitin
86
endoskeleton
hard parts on inside, skeleton and bone structure
87
vertebrates
have spine/backbone
88
invertebrates
no backbone
89
asymmetry
sides are not the same
90
bilateral symmetry
sides are the same
91
radial symmetry
has a center, same no matter how you split it
