Term | Definition |
---|---|
Natural selection | process that results in the adaptation of an organism to its environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution. |
prokaryotes | lack membrane bound organelles |
oscillatoria | -trichomes -snake-like body |
anabaena | -spiral |
gleocapsa | -clustered |
spirogyra | -common genera of filamentous green algae -grows in running streams of cool fresh water -secretes mucilage -reproduces sexually through conjugation K: plantae S: archaeplastida G: green algae ~snake-like body |
euglena | -lack cell wall (flexible) -motile (has flagella) -made of nutrients determined by current environment K: protista S: excavata G: euglenoids ~small beans |
paramecium | - free-living, freshwater genus - conjugation (stimulates metabolism) K: protista S: chromalveolata G: ciliates ~large beans |
amoeba | - phagocytic -some includes difflugia (shell) K:protista S: amoeboza G: amoeba |
Kingdoms | plantae animalia protista |
Supergroups | archaeplastida excavata amoeboza chromalveolata |
Groups | green algae euglenoids amoeba ciliates |
Domains | eukarya archaea bacteria |
hyphae | slender filament of cytoplasm nuclei enclose by a cell wall |
mycelium | mass of hyphae |
saprobes | obtain food from dead organic matter |
coenocytic hyphae | no cell septa (cell walls) |
chytridiomycota | sexual and asexual spores motile, with posterior flagella |
zygomycota | sexual spores are thick walled resting spores called zygospores |
ascomycota | spores borne internally in a sac called an ascus |
