how bacteria communicate form slime | Quorum sensing |
Most ancient eukaryotes are what? | Fossils of red algae |
What is sexual reproduction | Eukaryotes reproduction method which gives greater genetic variability between parents and offspring |
What describes a multicellular functionality / what is the organization of multicellularity | Each specialized cell uses genes that are not expressed in other cells. |

Kingdom first to conquer land | What are Plants |
Plants that do not posses roots | What are moss |
What is Lignin | Chief constituent of wood, that binds to cellulose fibers and hardens and strengthens the cell walls of plants to allow them to extend upward |
These kingdoms share the ability to photosynthesize | Plants, bacteria |
These two plant groups provide their embryos with stored food that can support growth before photosynthesis begins | Angiosperms and gymnosperms |
What is arrival of the pollen grain on the female reproductive part of the plant | Pollination of carpel |
What plants rely on nocturnal bats for pollination | These flowers open at night and are closed during the day |
Underground mycelium is larger than this part of mushroom | the above ground fruiting body |
Photoautotroph to chemoheterotrophic | An animal that can go from photoautotroph to chemoheterotrophic is mycotrophic |
What is xylem | plant tissue specialized for transporting water and dissolved nutrients |
What structure maintain tissue integrity and multicellularity in animals | Most animals produce a fiber-rich extracellular matrix to which their cells can attach |
