Q

facultative vs obligate parasites

A

obligate: require host to grow and complete life cycle
faculative: do not require host

111
Q

parasitic plants obtaining carbon

obtain from hosts instead of photosynthesis
parasites tap into host vascular tissue with haustoria
can attach to roots or stems

112
Q

haustorium

A

rootlike absorbing organ
can arise from root or stem tissue
allow parasites to tap into vascular tissue

ex:
- mistletoe: tree branch parasite
- wood betony: grass root parasite

118
Q

parasitic plants and biodiversity

A

may be important food for animals
parasitism can prevent competitive species from dominating

large trees do not mean old forest

122
Q

mycoheterotrophic plants
