control
identical to the experiment being tested except for the aspect of the effect being tested
variable
a quantity whose value may vary over the course of an experiment
dependent variable
reflects the phenomenon under study; what you measure
independent variable
the only factor that varies; what you change
theory
an integrated explination of numerous hypothesis; a logical explination
principal or law
signifies the points of probability on a subject that allows the formation of a law by enterpretation of events that can be recreated.
basic scientific research
exploration typically driven by a researchers curiosity
applied scientific research
research with a goal or purpose
cell
smallest unit of life
genetics
traits passed from one generation to the next
cell biology
encompasses the structures functions and life processes of plant cells
The Kingdom Protista sp.
Protozoans, algae, slime molds, water molds (oomycetes)
The Kindom protista size of sp.
smallet eukaryotes to some of the larges organisms (kelp)
sm-lg
Nutrition of kingdom protista
heterotrophic, autotrophic,and symbiotic
Habitat of Protista
varies
Reproduction of protista
do not develop embryos
Motility of protista
cilia, flagella, changing shape (aeomeba), expelling water, no specific method
The kingdom fungi
chytrids, zygomycota, asomycota, basidiomycota
Algae Nutrition
Mostly autotrophic
Algae produce -% of the O2 in our atomosphere
50-70%
Order in which alga grows from the shore line
green, brown, red
where is there more light?
Green Alga Found
freshwater, some airborne
Gree Alga photosynthetic pigments
chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids
cell wall components of green alga
polyscchariedes, starch, cellulose
Brown Alga Habitat
mostly all marine, salt water
Brown Alga photosynthetic pigments
chloropylls a and c fucoxanthin and other carotenoids
cell walls of brown algae
cellulost, aginic acid, sulfated polysaccharides
red alga habitat
marine and fresthwater
redalga photosynthetic pigments
chlorophyll a, carotenodis, phycobilins
red alga cell wall
cellulose pectin, calcium salts
dinoflagellates
found in marine and frestwater some are airborne
have chlorophylls a and b and catrenoids
cellulose walls or silica shells; sometimes nothing
euglenoids
marine or freshwates, some airborne;
chlorophylls a and b, caroenoids
no cell walls
probable ancestor to true plants
green algae
bryophytes
non-vascular land plants that have tissues and enclosed reproductive systems.
They do not have flowers and do not produce seeds. They reproduce via spores.
Mosses liverworts and horn worts
Bryophyte life cycle
gametophyte is the dominant stage; the sporophyte is smaller and dependent on the gametophyte
xylem
water and dissolved minerals
phloem
sugars
tracheophytes
vascular plants; sporophyte stage is dominant
seedless vascular plants
No seeds;
gametophyte is small but seperate plant
gymnosperms
group of seedless vascular plants; tehir seeds are on cones
angiosperms
group of seedless vascular plants; their seeds are enclosed in fruit
cotyledon
part of the embroy that becomes the plant's first leaves; number of which are used to classify plants
one cotyledon
momocotyledon/monocot
two cotyledonous
dictoledonous/dicot
Other characteristics of monocots
leaves with parallel venation;
flower parts in 3s;
pith in center of root surrounded by xylem and phloem; no vascular cambium
dicot characteristics
leaves with net venation;
flower parts in 4s or 5s
ring of vascular bundles in stem;
no pith;
vascular cambium present
vascular cambium
later meristems responsible for the pants secondary growth
flower
specialized shoot with four circles of modified leaves; sepals, petals, stamens and carpals
stamen
the male reproductive organs that produce microspores
consists of stalk (filament) and sac (anther)
carpals
female sporophylls that produce megaspores and female gametophytes;
the top of the carpal is a sticky stigma that receives pollen;'
stlye leads to the ovary at the base of the carpal
leaves
primary place for photosynthesis;
protection spines thorns and bud scales;
food and water storages
support
asexual reproduction
stems
support for leaves, flowers, and fruit
internal trasnsport
production of new tissue
roots
support and anchorage
absorption and conduction of water and minerals
gas exchange
