whats the correct sequence ofrom the most ot hte least comprehensive of the taxonomic levels
domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
nonadaptive
when a species doesnt adapt so it dies?? or when it cant adapt
homologous
same ancestor with similar structures
analogous
different ancestor but with similar structures
polyphletic
having multiple ancestors
monophyletic
having one ancestor
what structure is the outermost component of a bacterium
peptidoglycan, capsule
what is the function of the bacteriums capsule
protect cell surafce and glue cell to some surfaces
how are protists alike
the are all eukaryotes
the cholorplasts of modern plants are thought to have been derived according to which sequence
endosymbiosis
in a prokaryotic gram positive cell the cell wall has....
2 layers with a cell membrane adn a thick wall of peptioglycin
in a prokariotic gram positive cell the endospore is..
formed under harsh environmental conditions to preotect the bacteria for hundreds of years until conditions improve
in a prokaryotic gram positive cell the flagellum is..
aid in mobility especially when nutrients are limited
sex pilus in prokaryotic gram positive cells are
allow transfer from one cell to another ( shorter than flagellum and more in number)
capsule in a prokaryotic gram posotive cell
This layer of polysaccharide (sometimes proteins) protects the bacterial cell and is often associated with pathogenic bacteria because it serves as a barrier against phagocytosis by white blood cells.
is word is capitialized and you need to know what taxon level it is, what is it
genus (genus is always capitalized)
what are some characteristics of peptidoglycan
network of polysaccharide molecules linked otgether by protein cross links. cell walls of archea lack it and many species of bacteria have a cell wall composed of it and others have a thin layer with other materials ( gram-negative and gram-positive)
what kind of relationship exists between lyme disease and humans
spead through bite of infected tick. leison followed by maliase fever fatigue pain stiff neck and headache
the largest seaweed belongs to which group
Macrocystis pyrifera, brown algae, giant kelp
what makes certian red algae appear red
the red pigments called phycobilins
the largest seaweed belongs to which group
Macrocystis pyrifera, brown algae, giant kelp
which group of organisms represent the common ancestor of all photosynthetic plastids found in eukaryotes
cyanobacteria or blue green algae
what is a paramecium
ciliate wiht a complex digestive system like a gullet and intake channel for bacteria and food particles. reproduction is by fission
in ciliates, the process that produces genetic variation through the exchange of nuclei is..
conjugation
what are found in angiosperms
flowering, pollinated by natural events, ovules enclosed in carpel, mature to become fruit
what makes angiosperms so successful
use of flowers, pollenation from animals, insect pollinators, pollen grains can be carried passively by the wind
the main way pine tress pine trees disperse their offspring
through wind blown seeds
what does the stamen consist of
male parts that produce the pollen. anther at the tip that has the pollen
what cahracteristic do green algae hav
eukaryotic
what characteristic do mosses hav
vascular
what characteristic do ferns hav
seeds
what characteristic do gmynosperms hav
produce seeds
what characteristic does angiosperms hav
they have flowers
what characteristic do gmynosperms hav
produce seeds
what distinguishes animal heterotrophy from fungal heterotrophy
only animals derive nutrition from ingesting their prey
whats the primary role of a mushroom's underground mycelium
absorbing nutrients
in separate fungi, what structures allow cytoplasmic streaming to distribute needed nutirents, synthesized compounds and organelles throughout the hyphae
pores in septal walls
what do fungi and anthropods have in common
both groups use chitin for the construction of protective coats
the symbiotic associations involving roots and soil fungi are considered...
symbiotic mycorrihzae
the ascomyceyes get their name from which aspect of their life
the ascus that is a characteristic sexual reproduction tool where the zygote forms
chemicals, secreted by soil fungi, that inhibit the growth of bacteria are known as...
antibiotics
how are mushrooms and toadstools classfied
fungi with gills
lichens are symbiotic associations of fungi and ...
a photosynthetic partner
an evolutionary adaptation that increases exposure of a plant to light in a dense forest is...
apical dominance
in sac fungi, karyogamy and meiosis occur in
ascus or ascocarp
which part of the plant absorbs most of the water and minerals taken up from the soil
roots, apical meristem
the photosynthetic symbiont of a lichen is often a..
ascomycetes
what does vascular plant tissue include
strands of specialized cylindrical or elongated cells that form a network throughout the plant. this includes sieve tube members, sieve plates, tracheids, vessel elements, comapnion cells,
a person working with plants may remove apical dominance by doing what
pruning
one important difference between anatomy of roots and the anatomy of leaves is that...
a waxy cuticle covers leaves but is absent in roots
what effect does "pinching back" have on a houseplant
it produces a plant that will grow fuller
in leaves, choloroplasts are found in
cytoplasm of cell in the palisade mesophyll
wood consists of
accumulated secondary xylem, vascular cambium, cork cambium(bark)
pores on the leaf surface that function in gas exchange are called...
stoma
root hairs are most important to a plant because they
increase the surface area and absorb the nutrients and water for the rest of the plant
whats the order of floral organs from the outside to the inside of a complete flower?
sepal, petals, stamen(contains male parts and on top is anther), carpel (contains female parts like ovary style and stigma)
what plant hormones are associated with cell division
auxin, cytokinins,
auxin
promotes stem elongation and growth; forms sdventitous roots; inhibits leaf abcission, promotes cell division, induces ethylene production, promotes lateral bud dormacy
gibberellins
promotes stem elongation, stimulates enzyme production in germinating seeds
cytokinins
stimulates cell division but only in presence of auxin, promotes choloroplast development; delays leaf aging; promotes bud formation
etylene
controls leaf, flower, and fruit abscission, promotes fruit ripening
abscisic acid
controls stomatal closure, some control of seed dormacy, inhibits effects of other hormones
etylene
controls leaf, flower, and fruit abscission, promotes fruit ripening
