Topic 1 Living Things in the Biosphere Lesson 4 Plants & Animals
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Plants, Animals, Protists and Fungi are all in which Domain? | Eukarya |
| Are plants autotrophs or heterotrophs? | autotrophs |
| Are animals autotrophs or heterotrophs? | heterotrophs |
| Describe movement and plants. | they are anchored to the ground, and do not move |
| Describe movement and animals. | they move around to get food |
| What do plants undergo to obtain food (sugar)? | photosynthesis |
| What is the hint for photosynthesis? | COW ------GO |
| Describe Stoma (Stomata). | they are located under the leaves; they allow water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to move |
| Describe the following plant structure- cell wall. | a strong, rigid wall around the cell |
| Describe the following plant structure- vacuole. | the largest structure in a plant cell; holds water, waste and food |
| Describe the following plant structure- chloroplasts. | this is where the food is made |
| Describe the following plant structure- chlorophyll. | a pigment that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis |
| Describe the following plant structure- leaf. | it is used to capture light energy and gas exchange |
| Describe the following plant structure- stem. | provides support and stores food; connects roots to bring water to the leaves |
| Describe the following plant structure- root. | they absorb water and nutrients; they anchor the plant; they store nutrients |
| What is vascular tissue? | groups of cells that work together to transport water, food and minerals; it strengthens the plant which allows them to grow higher |
| What is the cuticle? | a waxy, waterproof layer that covers leaves and stems |
| What is the phloem? | a type of vascular tissue through which food (sugar) moves |
| What is the xylem? | a type of vascular tissue through which water and minerals move |
| What are nonvascular plants? | they are low growing plants without vascular tissue |
| Where do nonvascular plants live? | they live in wet environments to absorb moisture from their surroundings |
| Why don't nonvascular plants have "true roots"? | their roots are just used to anchor the plants, not for water absorption |
| How are organisms classified? | they are classified according to DNA, body structure and development |
| How are animals classified? | they are classified as either vetebrates or invertebrates |
| What are vertebrates? | animals with a backbone |
| What are invertebrates? | animals without a backbone |
| Most animals are vertebrates or invertebrates? | invertebrates |
| What are the 6 groups of invertebrates? | sponges; cnidarians; worms; mollusks; arthropods; echinoderms |
| What is an exoskeleton? | the support structure of the body is on the outside of the animal |
| What is an endoskeleton? | the support structure of the body is on the inside of the animal |
| In vertebrates, what is the Phylum Cordata? | the nerve cord |
| What are the 3 structures all vertebrates have in common? | the notochord; the nerve cord; the throat pouches |
| Amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic. What does ectothermic mean? | they use their environment to stay warm |
| Birds and mammals are endotherms. What does this mean? | they control their temperature internally |
| What are the 5 major groups of vertebrates? | fish; amphibians; reptiles; birds; mammals |
| Describe mammals. | their body temperature internally regulates; they have hair or fur; they produce milk to feed their young |
| What are adaptations? | characteristics that organisms inherit that help them survive |
| Name some adaptations for movement, in animals. | legs, wings, muscular foot, tube foot, jet propulsions, fins |
| Name some adaptations for conserving water, in animals. | they hold water, they filter water, they get fresh water from food |
