Exam Questions and Answers
What are the three practical categories of protists? - ANSWER-Animal-like protists,
which are heterotrophs and have the ability to move.
Plant-like protists, which are autotrophs that photosynthesize.
Fungi-like protists, which are heterotrophs, and they have cells with cell walls and
reproduce by forming spores.
Why are protists no longer classified as a single Kingdom? - ANSWER-some
species resemble plant-like, fungi like, or animal like organisms
How do protists move? What are the movement parts/methods called? - ANSWER-
Cilia and flagella
Can you label major parts of a paramecium and a euglena? - ANSWER-
What are some diseases caused by protists? - ANSWER-Trypanosoma protozoa
cause Chagas disease and sleeping sickness. Giardia protozoa cause giardiasis,
and Plasmodium protozoa cause malaria.
vascular - ANSWER-The vascular plants include all seed-bearing plants (the
gymnosperms and angiosperms) and the pteridophytes (including the ferns,
lycophytes, and horsetails). Also called tracheophyte.
non-vascular - ANSWER-Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system
consisting of xylem and phloem. Although non-vascular plants lack these particular
tissues, many possess simpler tissues that are specialized for internal transport of
water.
gametophyte generation - ANSWER-makes gametes
sporophyte
generation - ANSWER-makes spores
haploid - ANSWER-1 set of chromosomes
diploid - ANSWER-2 sets of chromosomes
spore - ANSWER-unprotected embryo
seed - ANSWER-protected embryo
cone - ANSWER-containing the reproductive organs of certain nonflowering plants.
, fruit - ANSWER-what ever the ovule turns into
flower - ANSWER-used for seed dispersal and is what the ovaries become
role of water in plant evolution - ANSWER-Had to stay close to water so they didn't
dry,
what does it mean when we say "in non-vascular plants there is dominance of
gametophyte generation" - ANSWER-that gametophytes are the adult
In gymnosperms and angiosperms what tissue is haploid? What tissue is diploid? -
ANSWER-gymnosperm seed: a diploid embryo, haploid seed food tissue, and diploid
seed coat tissue
What is special about conifer bark? - ANSWER-It is fire resistant
What can we learn from growth rings of trees? - ANSWER-How old the tree is and
the environmental disasters that the tree experienced
Which parts of a flower are male - ANSWER-the stamen (Anther and Filament)
which parts of a flower are female - ANSWER-the Carpel (Stigma, Style, Ovaries)
What are the benefits to a plant of seeds? flowers? fruits? - ANSWER-seeds allow
the embryo to be dominate for a long period of times while it waits for the right time
to grow. Flowers help attract pollinators and help fertilize plants. Fruits help with
dispersal.
What parts of the flower grow into fruits? - ANSWER-the fertilized ovule
How are some ways that humans use fungi? - ANSWER-to digest food
What are some fungal diseases? - ANSWER-Ringworm
What important relationship do some plants and fungi have? What is exchanged in
the
relationship? - ANSWER-They attach onto roots of plants and help with gathering
minerals and water for the plant. In return in the plant gives it food
What are lichens? - ANSWER-a symbiosis between 2 different organisms
fossils/fossilization - ANSWER-fossils are preserved remains of organisms that were
present in the past
vestigial structures - ANSWER-a structure that no longer has a purpose. a relic from
the past
homologous structures - ANSWER-Different structure same purpose.
