Unit 2 Test Flashcards
organisms that get food from something else
heterotrophic
a fungal network of thin hyphae
mycelium
what is chitin’s purpose in fungus cell walls
to protect hyphae from digestive enzymes
what part of the fungus grows at the end of the mycelium
the reproductive structures (mushrooms, puffballs)
organisms that digest the bodies of dead organisms
sapbrobes
how does fungi digest their food
by secreting digestive enzymes from the hyphae, the materials are broken down, the hyphae absorb the nutrients, and the extra nutrients are released into the ecosystem
how do fungi sexually reproduce
by releasing spores, allowing for adaptation because of the mixing of genetics
how do fungi asexually reproduce
when the mycelial network is broken apart
a symbiotic relationship between a fungi and a blue green algae or cyanobacteria
lichens
a symbiotic relationship between a fungi and the roots of a certain plant
mycorrhizae
fungi that produce a sack like case (Ascus) during reproduction
sac fungi (ascomycota)
fungi that produce the classic mushroom
club fungi (basidiomycota)
the imperfect, very diverse fungi
deuteromycota
these are all eukaryotic, multicellular, photosynthetic organisms
plants
vascular plants with roots
tracheophytes
mosses and liverworts
bryophytes
the switching between haploid and diploid offspring during a plants’ cycle of reproduction
alternation of generations
bryophyta have root like structures called _________
rhizoids
what do bryophyta need for reproduction
water
how do tracheophytes transport water and nutrients
vascular tissue
examples of seedless vascular plants
mosses and ferns
what reproductive adaptations do seed plants have over seedless plants
seeds and pollen
pollen is the _______ gametophyte
male
seeds are an embryonic _______ and _______
plant, food
