Unit 4 Bio Flashcards
pili
a proteinaceous, polymeric organelle expressed on surface of bacteria. functions include mediation of cell interactions, DNA uptake, and motility
flagella
hairlike structure that acts primarily as an organelle of locomotion in the cells of many organisms
glycocalyx
a network of polysaccharides that project from cellular surfaces of bacteria
capsule
polysaccharide layer that lies outside the cell envelope and part of outer envelope of a bacterial cell
slime
layer of mucus covering body if fish
endospore
formant, tough, non reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria from Firmicute phylum
magnetosome
intracellular structure produced by magneto tactic bacteria, compromise nanoparticles surrounded by lipid bilayer membrane
choanoflagellate
globally distributed group of marine protozoans with a highly distinctive morphology with whip like flagellum and collar of shorter hairs
asymmetric
lack of body pattern or plan
radial symmetry
bodies organized circularly
bilateral symmetry
defined left and right halves
cephalization
localized of sensory structures at anterior of body. encounter environment head first
dorsal
back of body
ventral
front of body
cleavage
rapid cell divisions with no significant growth and produces blastula
blastula
hallow sphere of cells
germ layer
tissue layers
gastrulation
area where blastula invaginates, promotes function of different germ layers. occurs in all organisms except sponges
gastrula
structure formed as result of gastrulation, forms several layers of tissues
endoderm
inner layer, lines primitive digestive tract and liver and lungs in chordates
ectoderm
outer layer, covers surface of embryo and differentiates into epidermis and nervous systems
mesoderm
true third layer of tissue, muscles and most of the organ systems
mesoglea
not. true tissue, translucent non living gelatinous substance between layers
triploblastic
bilaterally symmetrical, endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm
diploblastic
endoderm, ectoderm, mesoglea
blastospore
indentation of endoderm, opening of digestive tract to the outside
