Term
what characteristics define fungi?
Definition
1)Fungi are heterotropsh
2)Fungi cell walls are composed primarly from modified carbohydrate CHITIN(touch felxible molecule, exoskeleton to some animals)
3)the storage carbohydrate is glycogen like animals
4)do not photosynthsize
5)in most fungi, ZYGOTE IS THE ONLY DIPLOID CELL. some fungi remain haploid throughout most of the life cycle. In other fungi, two individuals fuse together to make a dikaryotic stage in which cells retains two separate nuclei, which are unique to fungi.
6)use exoenzymes secreted by it to break down organic matters, then "eats" by absorbing it
Term
Hyphae?
Definition
Filaments that make up the bulk of multicellular fungus. May enormous number of hyphae that branch rapidly within a food source, growin and absorbing nutrients at the tip.
Term
Mycelium?
Definition
Many hyphae
Term
spores?
Definition
microscopic reproductive cells. spores germinate and give rise to new feeding hyphae. In mold on food, spores make asexual spores called conidia
Term
fruiting body?
Definition
A specialized sexual spore-producing organ such as mushroom, puffball, or truffle
Term
yeasts?
Definition
unicellular fungi. A single-celled fungus that preproduces by budding
Term
four phyla of fungi?
Definition
1)Chytridiomycetes (simplest fungi, produce sexual and asexual spores that have flagella)
2)Zygomycetes(produce thick-walled sexual zygospores)
3)Ascomycetes(produce sexual spores in characteristic sacs)
4)Basidiomyctes(release sexual spores from club-shaped structurs)
Term
what two phylas of fungi are sister?
Definition
Ascomycetes and Basidiomyctes
Term
saproptrophic?
Definition
eat dead species majority of fungi
Term
faclatative parasites?
Definition
live on a living host and dead
Term
lower vs. higher fungi?
Definition
*lower hyphae w/o speta=no cross walls=COENOCOTIC(MULTINUCLATE), w/o fruit zygota(bread)
*higher w/ speta=cross walls, w/fruit(asycomota and basidimyctes)have cup and "fruiting structer")
Term
zygomycetes?
Definition
reproduce asexually from lightweight spores and reproduce sexually when haploid hyphae of different types merge together by conjagational tube(ONLY TIME DIPLOID)making a zygospore then produces spore sac and make hyphae. shrooms. LOWER FUNGI, BREAD MOLDS
Term
ascomycets?
Definition
Sac fungi, some recycle leaves and wood in soil, other form partnerships with photosynthetic organisms and a few carnivores. Can cause ring worm and athletes foot. Pencillum(antibotic) was found in this. Produce a lot of asexual spores, ASCOMYCOMTA
Term
ascomycetes reproduction?
Definition
Reproduce asexually by producing conidia, and sexually by producing acosopres inside a saclike ascus. MERGE UNDERGROUND
Term
basidiomycetes?
Definition
PuffbalLs, stinkhorns,bird's nest fungi. Can be asexual but sexual reproduction most prominent. Basdia lines the gills with dikaryotic cells. Which fuse the dikarytoic cells making a diploid zygote then through meisosi make 4 haploid cells called badiospores.
Term
Lichen?
Definition
Is a duel organism that forms when a fungus, either an ascomycete or a basdiomychete, harbors green algae or cyanobacteria. Using it for support and food from photosynthetic partner. Fungus gives the green algae or cyanobacteria essetnital minerals by enozenzymes. Help with nitrogen fixation. Absorb toxins but cannot excete them. look like mosses
Term
Mycorhizae?
Definition
are associations between funga; hypahe and plant roots. live on roots; helped with the evolution of plants
Term
alternation of generation?
Definition
a multicellular diploid stage alternates with a multicellular haploid stage.
Term
sporophyte?
Definition
diploid generation develops from zygote that forms whena gametes come together at fertilization. At maturity, some cells in the sporophyte undergo meiosis and produce haploid spores.
Term
spores?
Definition
which divide mitotically to form gametophyte
Term
gametophyte?
Definition
produce gametes by mitotic cell division
Term
What is present in testeral plants then algae?
Definition
1)Leaves capture solar energy
2)Root system that anchor plants and absorb water
3)Cuticle, which is waxy coat that minimizes water loss from aerial parts of a plant
4)Stomata, specialized spores in the leave and steams(vascular). When open, stomata enable the plant to exchange gases(especially CO2 and O2) with the atmosphere. In dry weather, plants reduce water loss by closing the pores.
4)Ligin, strengthens support walls. Ligin enables plants to grow tall and upwright to form branches, an important adaption in the intense competition for sunlight.(wood)
6)Vascular tissue that transports water and nutrients throughout the bodies of most plants.(Xylem-conducts water and dissolved minerals from the root up to leaves, and Phloem-transports sugars produced from photosynthesis to the nongreen parts of the plant, like the roots)VEINS
Term
Main groups of land plants?
Definition
Bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, gymnosperms, and angiosperms
Term
Bryophytes?
Definition
seedless, nonvascular(no veins), small compact. Water and nutrients move through the plant by diffusion or osmosis. Ligens hardens the plant, but does not provide support to allow it become large. No leave or roots, just a thylas. Rhizoids are hairlike extension that cover bryophyte lower surface to anchor and absorb water and minerals. types (mosses-closely related to vascular, liverworts(hepto), hornworts. produce antheridum(sperm) and achrodium(eggs)
Term
bryophytes reproduction?
Definition
Asexually and sexually. Sexually-sporophyte=spores=
gametophye(male or antheradium haploid(sperm at top) and female or archagonia haploid(eggs at the bottom) separated=
gametes= archognia splashes which lets flagella sperm go to the egg by a chemical signals down chemical gradient=
zygote=diploid protected by gametophyte tissue=
young sporophyte is produced!
Term
Seedless vascular?
Definition
Seedless vascular have xylem and phloem but do not produce seeds! Kinds are true ferns(fronds), club mosses(lycopods), horsetaisl(coils), and whisk ferns(have rhizomes not roots).
Term
Seedless vascular reproduction?
Definition
Sexually, mature sporophyte(main apperance) produce haploid spores by meosis in collection of sporoangia on the underside of each frond. Once shed, spores germinate and develop into gametophyte that produce gametes by mitotic cell division. the flagelleta sperm need water to to reach egg cell. which fuses gametes to make a zygote(diploid) and which dicides mitocally and forms sporophyte
Term
gymnosperms?
Definition
Naked seed plants, CHRISTMAS TREE. Have pollen grains that produce sperm cells, seed that allow plant embryo to have nutrients inside outer coat, both of these allow gymnosperms to live in dry climates. Confier(christmas trees, need like), Cycads(tropical and suntropic areas, looks like big ferns but have cones), Ginkgo(fan shapped leaves, remained unchanged for 80 million years. has fleshy seeds, living fossil)NAKED SEED, TWO DIFFERENT CONES(SEED CONE AND POLLON CONE)
Term
Two vascular plants produce seeds and pollen?
Definition
gymnosperms and angiosperms(peach pit, covering not naked)
Term
GYMNOSPERM reproduction?
Definition
Produce pollen and seed in the cone. Large female cones bear two sporangia called ovules, on upper surface of each scale. Through meiosis, each ovule produces FOUR haploid structers called MEGASPORE(female gametophyte, has the eggs). MICRSPORES(male gametophyte, has sperm or pollen grains). POLLENTUBE in female gametophyte allows two hapolid sperm cells, (one disintengrates) in a haploid egg.
Making zygote first cell sporophyte generation.
Term
Angiosperms?
Definition
are flowering plants, seed plants, make fruit that contain the seed. Monoco,(lilies, bananas) Dicoto(beans, sunflower)
Term
Angiosperm reproduction?
Definition
like gymnosperms but inside the plant, and rely on a pollinator(bees, wind, etc.) for dispersal.
Term
Coevolution?
Definition
in which a genetic change in one species selects for subsequent change in another.
Term
advantages in water?
Definition
live by water, sunlight can pennerturate, not much change in temp. in water, less gases in water, contains more oxygen and hydrogen more work, metabolism faster on land more evolution
Term
desiccation?
Definition
drying out of a living organism, such as when aquatic animals are taken out of water, or when plants are exposed to sunlight or drought. Ecologists frequently study and assess various organisms' susceptibility to desiccation.
