Term
symbiotically
Definition
a realationship where both organisms benefit
Term
phototroph
Definition
food is made through the process of photosynthesis
Term
chemotroph
Definition
energy is gather from chemical reaction
Term
heterotrophs
Definition
an organism that feeds on others for energy
Term
eukaryotes
Definition
a cell which has it's organelles and DNA contained by membranes
Term
prokaryotes
Definition
a cells who's organelles and DNA is freely floating around the cytoplasm
Term
antibiotics
Definition
a sustance produces by bacteria that prevents other microrganisms form growing there
Term
haploid
Definition
the eneration of which the cells only have 1/2 of the chromosomes
Term
diploid
Definition
the generation in which all chromosome are produced
Term
sporophyte
Definition
produces spores. created form gametes. diploid generation
Term
gametophyte
Definition
produces gametes. creates from spores. aploid generation
Term
alteration of generations
Definition
when plants grow as haploids for one part of their life then continue to grow and and become diploid for the second generation
Term
homologous
Definition
when different animals have the same bone structure but use them in different ways
Term
biodiversity
Definition
a range of species living within the same area
Term
phylogeny
Definition
the evoloution history of a species
Term
natural selction
Definition
a process where the fittest survive. organisms with benefitial traits will survive and replace the old animals. if conditions change the better adapted will be able to last and survive. organisms that dont adapt will eventually become exsinct.
Term
nucleiod
Definition
the concentrateed region in which the DNA floats about in prokaryotes
Term
cilia
Definition
hair like structures found around the edge of the cell which act like boat oars to allow the cells to move
Term
Amoebas
Definition
a type of protist which projects it's cytoplasm to move and engolf it's food
Term
cellulose
Definition
a sugar like substance which is found in the cell walls and help keep the cells in rigid shape. water is needed to keep them rigid because the water presses out against the cell walls.
Term
flagellum
Definition
a tail like structure that some bacteria have to allow it to move throughout water.
Term
Zooflagellates
Definition
a group of protists which have atleast one falgellum.
heterotrophic- feed on other live proists
Term
ciliates
Definition
protists with cilia.
rigid shape
live in fresha and salt water
foodvacuole. lysosome enzyme breaks down it's food.
Term
zygotes
Definition
when the first 2 cells have fused together to become the first cell of the offspring
Term
gametes
Definition
cells with only 1/2 the DNA from their parent cells. will fuse togeher to create the offspring.
Term
saprobes
Definition
food is gathered by absorbing decaying matter. decomposers. type of fungi
Term
mycelium
Definition
the fine filaments when they are a tangled mass
Term
hyphae
Definition
fine filaments that absorbe nutrients from it's food source.
they have cell walls
Term
spores
Definition
single reproductive cell;
DNA coated in a cellwall and cell membrane for protection from the elements;
only 1/2 the chromosomes therefore haploid
Term
fermentation
Definition
cellular anaerobe respiration of yeast producing alcohol and CO2. sugar molecules are broken down by enzymes for energy.
Term
conjugation
Definition
unfavourable conditions of the bacteria cells--> cells reproduce sexually.bacteria cells connect through pili then exchange DNA and and the DNa is incorporated into the offsprings DNA-->evolution-->survival in unfavourable conditions
Term
Xylem and Phloem
Definition
cells which transfer nutrients and water up and down the plants
Term
stamen
Definition
the male organ of a flower
Term
antha
Definition
part of the male organ on a flower. it produces pollen grains. each pollen grain contains a sperm cell.
Term
filament
Definition
the bottom part of the male organ on a flower.it holds the anther up
Term
carpel
Definition
the female part of the flower.
Term
stigma
Definition
the tip of the female organ
Term
stigma
Definition
the tip of the female organ
Term
ovary
Definition
part of the female organ in a flower.found at the base of the carpel. it produces ovule.
Term
receptacle and pedicel
Definition
part of the flower. found atthe tip of the stem before the petals. the receptacle is just below the ovary
Term
Bryophte
Definition
the division for nonvascular plants
Term
Bryophte
Definition
the division for nonvascular plants
Term
tracheophytes
Definition
the division for vascular plants
Term
the order of classifications
Definition
kingdom, phylum/division, class, order, fimily, genus, species
Term
descibes ebacteria and areachbacteria kingdoms
Definition
prokaryote.
areachbacteria has been around longer
single cells
asexual
shape and prefix
Term
describe the protists kingdom
Definition
single celled
eubacteria
asexual
animal like fungus like and plants like
include algae
Term
describe the fungi kingdom
Definition
multicellular
saprobes
classifies by how they reproduce; sac like clublike imperect and caselike
Term

non vascular and vascular
spore producing and seed producing
geneosperm and angiosperm
