protist fungi and plants

Question 1

an organism that belongs to the kingdom protista

Answer 1

protist

Question 2

an organism that gets food by eating other organisms or their byproducts and that cannot make organic compounds from inorganic materials

Answer 2

heterotroph

Question 3

an organism that feeds on an organism of another species (the host) and that usually harms the host; the host never benefits from the presence of the parasite

Answer 3

parasite

Question 4

an organism form which a parasite takes food or shelter

Answer 4

host

Question 5

an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material.

Answer 5

decomposer

Question 6

an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.

Answer 6

Eukaryote

Question 7

an organism whose cells have nuclei rigid cell walls and no chlorophyll and that belongs to the kingdom fungi

Answer 7

fungi

Question 8

typically one-celled, reproductive unit capable of giving rise to a new individual without sexual fusion, characteristic of lower plants, fungi, and protozoans.

Answer 8

spore

Question 9

a simple slow-growing plant that typically forms a low crust like, leaf like, or branching growth on rocks, walls, and trees.

Answer 9

lichen

Question 10

belong to the division Bryophyta, which includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants have no vascular tissue, so the plants cannot retain water or deliver it to other parts of the plant body.

Answer 10

Nonvascular plant

Question 11

also known as tracheophytes and also higher plants, form a large group of plants that are defined as those land plants that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant.

Answer 11

Vascular plant

Question 12

a plant that has seeds unprotected by an ovary or fruit. Gymnosperms include the conifers, cycads, and ginkgo.

Answer 12

Gymnosperm

Question 13

a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel. The angiosperms are a large group and include herbaceous plants, shrubs, grasses, and most trees.

Answer 13

Angiosperm

Question 14

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

Answer 14

Photosynthesis

Question 15

is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. … Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity.

Answer 15

Cellular respiration

Question 16

is the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through pores in their leaves. An example of transpiration is when a plant absorbs water in its roots.

Answer 16

Transpiration

Question 17

the turning of all or part of an organism in a particular direction in response to an external stimulus.

Answer 17

Tropism

Question 18

(also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms.

Answer 18

Gravitropism

Question 19

the orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward the source of light ( positive phototropism ) or away from it ( negative phototropism ).

Answer 19

Phototropism

Question 20

where one cell splits into two

Answer 20

Asexual Reproduction

Question 21

a disease caused by toxoplasmas, transmitted chiefly through under cooked meat, or in soil or cat feces. Symptoms generally pass unremarked in adults, but infection can be dangerous to unborn children.

Answer 21

Toxoplasmosis

Question 22

a disease spread through mosquito

Answer 22

Malaria

Question 23

infection is an intestinal infection marked by abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea and bouts of watery diarrhea. Giardia infection is caused by a microscopic parasite that is found worldwide, especially in areas with poor sanitation and unsafe water.

Answer 23

Giardia
