Q

advantages of biodiversity

A

supports food security
sustains livelihood through overall genetic diversity
a large number of plants=variety of crops
greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability
healthy ecosystems can withstand disasters
humans have negative effect on biodiversity

Q

features of organisms

A

nutrition= autotrophic(makes own food), heterotrophic(feeds on living)

cell organisation=unicellular, multicellular

cell type= eukaryotes(genetic material surronded by membrane),
prokaryotes(lacking a membrane)

respiration=aerobic, anaerobic

reprodution

movement

16
Q

how many species are there?

A

9-10 million
most known are insects(1 million)

17
Q

plant kingdom

A

species of vegetation
one of the oldest
immobile, autotrophic, multicell, eukaryotic
sexual or asexual
vascular and non vascular

18
Q

fungi

A

unicellular + multicellular
RECYCLING
chitin in their walls, feed of other living things,
reproduce through spores
some have toxins
beneficial ones= penicilin+antibiotics

19
Q

protista

A

primitive of eukaryotes
eukaryotic organisms that are not deemed to be animals, plants, fungi such as protozoa
ex: euglena, amoeba, paramecium, algea
some have organelles that are found in animal cells(mitochondria), while others have organelles that are found in plant cells(chloroplast)

20
Q

monera kingdom(archra+eubacteria)

A

microscopic+prokaryotes
present in all habitats and is made up of single-cell things with no defined nucleus
most bacteria are aerobic and hetetrophic
archea usually anaerobic and metabolism is chemosynthetic
some bacteria are photosynthetic

21
Q

archabacteria

A

cell wall composition= for extreme conditions

archea of methonogon=found in guts of humans and animals

reproduce by binary fission(asexual)

1 circular chromosome

use flagella to move

22
Q

eubacteria

A

considered true bacteria
in every environment
compose human microbiota
ensures our body to function normally

23
Q

human microbiota

A

healthy growth
protect body
help digestion
regulate moods

24
Q

distruption of microbiata

A

know as dysbiosis

results in obesity, dermotits, neurological imbalance, irritable bowel syndrome

cure= probiotics, prebiotcs

25
how do gut bacterias affect our body?
gut-brain= autism, psychiotric disorders, pneumonia, neurodegenerarive disorders heart diesease= hearth failure, atheroscleros thrombiosis gut-skin= psoriosis, acne vulgaris, skin cancer metabolsim=obesity, T2 diabetes, cancer, mitochondrial dysfunction gut-lung=asthma, lung cancer, obstructive pulmonary disease
26
microorganisms on surface...
guard against invasion healing wounds immune syustems produce signaling molecules
27
gut...
harbores the highest amount of microorganisms microbes in gut posses enzymes to digest carbohydrates and extraction of nutrients
28
intestinal microorgnaisms...
produce K2 B12 active role in medication we ingest first to interact with drugs
29
babies???
get microorgansisms from their moms during delivery lactobacilli= in moms vagina= cesarean= colonize baby's intestines to help in digestion of milk after birth microorganism are obtained from diet= breast milk= acquire bacteria from mother's skin that colonize baby's intestines
30
ecosystems 2 components
abiotic(non-living) biotic(living)
31
it takes up ... years to get enough microbes
2
32
tardigrades
micro animal live in water moss algae for over 500 million years survived artic, space, turn into tun= release water this is called cryptobiosis organs protected by sugary gel called trehalose can survive 1000x more radiation than us
33
can plants communicate using the electricity
yes
34
kingdoms are
Archaebacteria (ancient bacteria) Eubacteria (true bacteria) Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia
