Plants and Animals

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
products of photosynthesis   oxygen and glucose  
🗑
raw materials of photosynthesis (starting materials)   carbon dioxide and water  
🗑
products of respiration   carbon dioxide, water, and energy  
🗑
raw materials of respiration   glucose and oxygen  
🗑
define: photosynthesis   the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.  
🗑
organelle in photosynthesis   Chloroplasts  
🗑
organelle for respiration   Mitochondria  
🗑
equation for photosynthesis   6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2  
🗑
formula for glucose   C6H12O6  
🗑
characteristics of all plants   multicellular, chlorophyll, cellulose cell wall, roots or root structures, eukaryotic, adapted to nearly every environment, immobile, most have cuticle or waxy protective layer, need water, light, minerals, nutrients and CO2.  
🗑
difference between vascular and non-vascular plants   vascular(internal, tube-like structures:xylem and phloem) and non-vascular (no tubes)  
🗑
gymnosperms   seed-producing plants that includes conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and Gnetales. The term "gymnosperm" comes from the Greek meaning "naked seeds", after the unenclosed condition of their seeds (called ovules in their unfertilized state).  
🗑
conifers   Typical examples of conifers include cedars, Douglas-firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauri, larches, pines, hemlocks, redwoods, spruces, and yews  
🗑
angiosperms   flowering plants, Angiosperms are seed-producing plants  
🗑
examples of cold-blooded animals   reptiles, amphibians, fish (turtles, snakes, clownfish)  
🗑
examples of crustaceans   lobsters, crabs, shrimp, barnacles  
🗑
examples of seedless vascular plants   whisk ferns, horsetails, ferns, club mosses  
🗑
producers   bottom of the food chain, grass, wheat (plants) and phytoplankton  
🗑
decomposers   mushrooms, fungi, earthworms  
🗑
arthropods   characteristics: sheds exoskeleton to grow, paired jointed appendages, segmented bodies, bilateral symmetry, circulatory system is open and dorsal (on the back), nervous system is ventral (belly)  
🗑
characteristics of mollusks   unsegmented soft body most have internal or external shell have a mantle - a fold in the body wall that secretes the hard prtesctive shell muscular foot and/or tentacles have a radula - a toothed structure used to grate food two pairs of gills  
🗑
Characteristics of sponges (Porifera)   exoskeleton, respiration through diffusion of oxygen from flow of oxygen through the body, mainly immobile  
🗑
