a phylogenetic diagram that specifies unique features

Question 3

Archaea

Answer 3

More like us than bacteria. Ancient extremophiles with different cell wall than bacteria and have histones like eukaryotes

Bacteria

Answer 4

unicellular prokaryote, obtains energy all ways and reproduces asexually.
ex. E.coli

Question 5

Extremophile

Answer 5

Likes extreme environments.
Halophile like places with high concentration of salt (Dead Sea)
Thermophiles likes hot climate(Hot Springs)

Bacillus: rod shaped
Spirilla: Spiral

Question 7

Peptidoglycan

Answer 7

different sugar protein in bacteria cell wall.

Question 8

antibiotics

Answer 8

work towards destroying the cell wall and the ribosomes(different than ours)

Question 9

binary fission

Answer 9

asexual reproduction of bacteria, does not use spindle fibers

Question 10

conjugation

Answer 10

pass plasmid through mating bridge pili

Question 11

chemoautotroph

Answer 11

use chemicals like nitrites and H2S for energy

ex. archae in dark caves

Question 12

photoautotroph

Answer 12

use light like plants

Question 13

chemoheterotroph

Answer 13

get energy by eating organic food

Answer 15

dies without O2

Question 16

obligate anaerobe

dies when exposed to O2 (tetanus)

Question 17

bioremediation

Answer 17

waste break down, septic tanks, oil spills

Question 18

Protista

Answer 18

Eukaryote, uni/multi cellular, a/sexual, produce energy all ways.

Question 19

Algae/Seaweed

Answer 19

plant like protista, obtain energy through sunlight (PA)

also used commercially

Question 20

Slime molds

Answer 20

Fungi like protista, don’t do photosynthesis, eat & reproduce like mushrooms, unicellular and multicellular stages

Question 21

Protozoa

Answer 21

animal like protista, unicellular, heterotrophs
ex. paramecium, amoeba, malaria
why we shouldn’t drink water in foreign countries

Fungus

Answer 22

Heterotrophic decomposers

Spores

Answer 23

way of reproducing asexually

Question 24

Mycelium

Answer 24

Long continuous thread of fungus cells made of hyphae

Question 25

Chitin

Answer 25

what the cell wall is made of

Question 26

Plantae

Answer 26

all plants

Question 27

xylem cells

Answer 27

carries water up a plant

Question 28

phloem cells

Answer 28

carries the sugar that the leaves made (plant food)

Question 29

Leaves

Answer 29

CO3 and H2O taken in through

Question 30

cuticle

Answer 30

waxy outer surface of the leaf

Question 31

stomata

Answer 31

pores in leaves where plants "breathe"

Question 32

roots

Answer 32

used to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients for it. Also store sugar and other carbs for other functions

Question 33

fruit

Answer 33

sugar protecting for the seed that helps with dissemination

Question 34

flowers

Answer 34

Help with reproduction of plants, store pollen. Certain flowers shapes and color attracts certain organisms which helps with pollinating
