25
What are clusters of sporangia?
Sori
26
True or false: Spores are a reproductive unit
True
27
What is vascular tissue?
Vascular tissue has tissue that carry water and minerals throughout the plant
28
Does xylem carry water and minerals or light throughout the plant?
xylem carries water and minerals
29
What is the classification hierarchy and its order?
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
30
What is binomial nomenclature?
consists of two words for each organism: Kingdom and Species
31
Who came up with binomial nomenclature?
Carl Linneaus
32
What are the unifying characteristics of the organisms in each of the six kingdoms?
Animalia Plantae Fungi Protista Archaeobacteria Eubacteria
33
How do bacteria reproduce
Binary fission
34
How do the two different kingdoms of bacteria differ?
archaebacteria and eubacteria both differ genetically, in chemical structure, and archaebacteria can live in extreme environments whereas eubacteria cannot
35
How do bacteria assist humans?
they can break down food and water to make nutrients, photo synthesizers contribute oxygen, they give food, and decompose
36
What are viruses made of?
DNA and RNA and a hard, protective shell called a capsule
37
What is the lysogenic cell?
in the lysogenic cell, cells remain inactive for a time, which is when viruses enters cells and integrates its genome into the hosts cell. The genome then replicates during cell division and is passed to the daughter cell
38
What is the lytic cycle?
the lytic cycle happens when a virus needs to get in the organism, attaches to the cell, penetrates the cell and DNA enter endocytosis, capsid is left outside, DNA begins to steal energy from cell to replicate DNA, organelles and enzymes are used by the virus until cells die, the enzyme then cause the cell to burs open and it releases viruses in new cell
39
How are fungi and plants the same?
fungi and plants are both eukaryotic, multicellular, and have similar growing structure
40
How are plants and fungi different?
Plants produce while fungi decompose
41
What are the four categories of plants?
Phylum Bryophyta (mosses), Phylum Pteridophyta (ferns), Phylum Coniferophyta (conifers), and Phylum Anthophyta (angiosperms)
42
How does alternation of generations work in a plant?
The alternation of generations divide the plants into two phases: gametophyte and sporophyte
43
What is the sporophyte stage?
the sporophyte stage is the stage in which the zygote matures, forming spores
44
What is the gametophyte stage?
the gametophyte stage occurs when a haploid spore is produced by meiosis
45
What is the function of a root?
The root functions to anchor the leaf and absorb water and nutrients, and store food
46
What is the function of the stem?
The stem functions to manufacture and support the leaves, it is able to carry out photosynthesis and can be used for storage
47
What is the function of the flower?
the function of the flower is to reproduce
48
What are the different parts of the plant cells?
organelles, chloroplast, cell wall, and intracellular vacuoles
49
What is the difference between monocots and dicots?
monocots: one cotyledon, parallel veins, fibrous roots, and multiples of three dicot: two cotyledons, branching veins, taproot, and multiples of four or five
50
What is the basic chemical reaction of photosynthesis?
photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water molecules to create glucose
51
What are the two phases of photosynthesis?
light-dependent phase and the Calvin cycle
52
What is chlorophyll and what role does it play in photosynthesis?
it absorbs energy from the sun
53
What is pollination?
Pollination transfers pollen from the anther to stigma
54
What is fertilization?
Fertilization happens where several male gametes within pollen grain work together to reproduce with the female gamete
55
What is germination?
Germination is the sprouting of the seed
56
What is an angiosperm?
angiosperms are used for vegetative reproduction
57
What are plant hormones?
plant hormones influence the growth, development and response of a plant
58
What are the different categories of these hormones?
auxins, gibberellins, cytokinin, abscisic acids, and ethylines
59
What is auxin?
promote stem elongation and repress lateral bud growth
60
What are giberellins?
regulate normal plant growth
61
What are cytokinins?
promote lateral bud growth
62
What is abscisic acid?
promotes seed dormacy and causes growth
63
What is ethylene?
stimulates fruit ripening
64
What is a tropism?
occurs when the plant responds to their environment
65
What is phototropism?
a plants response to light
66
What is geotropism?
a plants response to gravity
67
What is chemotropism?
a plants response to chemicals
68
What is thigmotropism?
a plants response to touch
69
What is photoperiodism?
A plants response to the length of darkness.
70
How does photoperiodism impact the plant?
it enables the plant to adapt to a seasonal change
71
What role do minerals play in plant growth?
it supports the plant to complete their life cycle and produce seeds
