Chlorophylls a and b in plastids

Which of the following is a characteristic shared between green algae and plants?

Arthropods have an incomplete digestive track is false. - display segmentation, have an exoskeleton, have a true coelom, and an open circulatory system are all true.

Which of the following statements about arthropods is false?

Squids

Which of the mollusks have a closed circulatory system?

Pollen grain

Which part of a flowering plant is the immature male gameophyte?

plasmogamy

Which process marks the start of the dikaryotic stage (n+n) in the fungal reproductive cycle?

Karyogamy

Which process takes place within the young basidia on the gills of the mushroom before meiosis and the formation of spores?

Excavates

Which protist clade (supergroup) is characterized by their greatly modified mitochondria?

Both groups have free-living gametophytes

Which statement about gymnosperms and angiosperms is FALSE?

Apixomplexans

Which type of protist is responsible for malaria in humans, parasitic to both humans and mosquitoes?

Bees carry pollen to other plants

Why are bees important to the reproductive success of flowering plants?

1) because a seed is further along in its development before it is released to survive on its own whereas a spore is a single cell. 2) A seed contains an abundant food supply. 3) a seed is protectede by a multicellular seed coat

Why are seeds superior to spores?

the vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.

Xylem

the vascular tissue that conducts water and dissolves minerals

Xylem

a unicellular fungus that lives in liquid or moist habitats.

Yeasts

budding

Yeasts produce asexually by _______

a fungal group that is not very pathogenic; complex life cycle consisted on sexual and asexual fungal groups...fungi spend most of their time as haploids; black bread mold; It's very similar to chytrids... but they are not a monophyletic group. Most zygomycotic are decomposers that live in the soil on decaying plants or animals. During sexual reproduction, they produce spores called zygospores. These zygospores are typically produced in spore sacs called zygosporangia.

Zygomycetes

the fertilized egg; it enters a 2-week period of rapid cell division and develops into an embryo

Zygote

Microphylls

_____ are small leaves with a single vascular strand

a) fungus b) spore c) hypha d) karyogamy e) mushrooms!

a) Above is a life cycle from what group of organisms? b) What grows into hyphae? c) what structure is formed as a spore germinates? d) Letter "A" is labeling a zygote. In this life cycle, this is a result of the process called: e) What kind of fungi are basidiomycetes?

a) haploid and diploid b) sporophyte c) egg and sperm (the gametes) d) archegonium e) vascular seedless plant

a) The gametophyte generation is ______ and the sporophyte generation is ______. b) for fern life cycle, the ___________ is the dominant generation c) All plants exhibit an alternation of generations, through the time they spend in each stage and structures can vary. For all of them though, what is the product of the gametophytic generation? d)What is the name of the structure that produce the egg? e) This life cycle is from a ______ ______ _______

a) bilateral symmetry b) Cephalization- which is the evolution of the head with the concentration of the sense organs and nerve cells at the anterior end, increasing the effectiveness of bilateral animal activity to find food, shelter, and mates and to detect enemies. c) yes, this organism possesses a complete digestive system d) an open circulatory system

a) What type of symmetry does this animal (grasshopper) display? b) This organisms (the grasshopper) demonstrates c) Does this organism possess a complete digestive system? d) What kind of circulatory system does this organisms have? e) is this organisms segmented?

a) aquatic b) uniknots c)choanoflagellate d) mitochondria and chloroplasts e) excavata

a. Most protists are: b. Which group is characterized by a triple-gene fusion and either a single flagellum or no flagellum? c. The protist group that seems to be the closest living group to the animal kingdom is: d. Which eukaryotic organelles likely arose from symbiotic relationships between larger cells and bacteria? e. Which protist clade (supergroup) is characterized by their greatly modified mitochondria and a deep oral groove?

par of their lives in a multicellular haploid stage and part in a multicellular diploid stage.

alternation of generations

two flagellum

bikonts

haploid production of male and female gametes because it gives rise to haploid gametes by mitosis

gametophyte generation

Root like structures that some organisms have to help them hold on to rocks.

holdfasts

When nonvascular and most seedless vascular plants produced one type of spore, which gives rise to the gametophyte by mitosis

homospory

A plant structure in which megaspores are formed, such as those of the female cones of pines (egg)/

megasporangium

microscopic protozoans that cause disease in insects

microsporidia

separate male and female reproductive parts in different locations on the same plant.

monoecious

plants probably evolved from a common ancestral green algae.

monophyletic group

toxins produced by fungi - blood diseases - nervous system disorders - kidney damage - liver damage - cancer

mycotoxins

1) Spongocoel 2) Osculum

water passes into the central cavity 1) ________ and flows out the 2)_______

Xylem

which vascular tissues is responsible for conducting water and dissolved minerals in plants?

a sporangium or spore case in which zoospores are produced.

zoosporangium
