Exam 3

TermDefinition
Excavata Monophyletic super group: diplomonads, parabasalids, and euglenozoans
Diplomonads Mitochondria called mitosomes, parasites, two nuclei, and multiple flagella, anaerobic
Parabasalids Hydrogensomes, anaerobic
Euglenozoans Kinetoplastids and euglenids
Kintoplastids Mitochondrion that contains DNA called a kinetoplast, parasites
Euglenid Pocket at one end from which one or two flagella emerge, photosynthesize, also heterotrophic (phagocytosis)
SAR Monophyletic super group: stramenopiles, alveolates, rhizarians
Stramenopiles Red algae, hair flagellum Diatoms, oomycetes, and brown algae
Diatoms Unicellular algae, glass-like wall (silicon dioxide), abudant photosynthetic organism
Brown Algae Multicellular, analogous to plants, photosynthetic
Oomycetes Fungi, cellulose walls, no longer have plastids or perform photosynthesis
Alveolates Red algae, membrane-enclosed sacs under the plasma membrane Flagellates, apicomplexans, and cilia
Dinoflagellates Cellulose plates, majority are heterotrophic, "red tide"
Apicomplexans Parasites, apex that contains cell pentrating organelles, modified plastid, not photosynthetic, sexual and asexual, requires hosts for reproductive completion
Ciliates Named for cilia that enable movement, micronuclei and macronuclei, conjugation
Rhizarians Amoebas, feed by pseudopodia Radiolarians, forams, and cercozoans
Radiolarians Internal silica skeletons
Forams Porous shells called tests (calcium carbonate), also photosynthetic
Cercozoans Amoboid and flagellated protists, heterotrophs chlorarachniophytes=mixotrophic
Archaeplastida Red and green algae
Red Algae Multicellular, photosynthetic, no flagellated gametes, reproduce sexually
Green Algae Charophytes and chlorophytes Defense mechanisms: Colony formation, formation of multicellular bodies, repeated nuclei division
Charophytes Closely related to plants
Chlorophytes Unicellular, photosynthetic
Unikonta Amoebozoans and opisthokonts
Amoebozoans Amoebas with lobe or tube-shaped psuedopodia Tubulinids, slime molds, and entamoebas
Tubulinids Unicellular, heterotrophs
Slime molds Plasmodial: single mass of cytoplasm, undivided by plasma membrane, many nuclei, mitotic division without cytokinesis Cellular: aggregated cells separated by individual plasma membranes, reproduce asexually
Entamoebas Symbiotic parasites, dysentery
Opisthokonts Nucleariids and choanoflagellates
Sporopollenin Prevents exposed zygotes from drying out
Alternation of generation Type of life cycle, multicellular forms that give rise to each other in turn
Gametophyte Produced from mitosis of hapliod gametes that fuse during fertilization
Sporophyte Multicellular diploid that results from mitotic division of the zygote, sporangia that produce spores through meiosis
Spores Haploids that result from meiosis of mature sporophyte
Cycle Gametophyte, sporophyte, spore, gametophyte
Cuticle Waterproofing wax, prevents excess water loss
Stomata Specialized pores, support photosynthetic gas exchange
Mycorrhizal fungi Form extensive networks od filaments through the soil and transfer nutrients to their symbiotic plant partner
Spores fossil evidence 470 million years ago
Vascular tissue/Vascular plants Cells joined into tubes to transport water and nutrients through the plant body Clade: lycophytes, monilophytes, seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms)
Nonvascular plants/Bryophytes Lack extensive transport systems Don't form a clade
Lycophytes Club mosses and their relatives
Monilophytes Ferns and their relatives
Bryophytes Haploid gametophytes are the dominant life cycle stage Spore dispered, spore germinates, gametophye grows, archegonium produces one egg and antheridium produces many flagellated sperm (water), arachegonia fertilized, embryo develops into sporophyte
Vascular plants Dominate life stage is sporophytes Spore dispered, spore germinates, gametophye grows, archegonium produces one egg and antheridium produces many flagellated sperm (water), arachegonia fertilized, embryo develops into sporophyte
Xylem Conducts most of the water and minerals Tracheids carry up from the roots, lignified
Phloem Distribute sugars, aminoa acids, and organic products
Roots Roots in vascular sporphytes, rhizoids in nonvasvular bryophytes
Leaves Microphylls: all and only the lycophtes, small spine-shaped leaves supported by a single strand of vascular tissue (410 mya) Megaphylls: all other vascular plants, leaves with highly branched vascular system (370 mya)
Sporophylls Modified leaves that bear sporangia
Seedless vascular Majority are homosporous: one type of sporophyll bearing one type of sporangium that produces one type of spore (bisexual) Hetersporous: Two types of sporophylls, mega produce female micro produce male
Ovule Megaspotangium, megaspore, and their integuments Female gametophyte develops from a megaspore and produces one or more eggs
Pollen grain microscope that consists of a male gametophye and the sporopellenin wall
Seed Embryo with a food supply packaged in a protective coat derived from the integuments, multicellular (spores are single-celled)
Seed plant evolutoin Key adaptations: miniaturizaation of their gametophyte, advent of a seed as resistant disperisble stage in the life cycle, and the appearance of pollen as an airborne agent that brings gametes together
Gymnosperms Microsporocytes divide by meiosis (pollen), pollen reaches ovule, pollen germinates and travels to megasporocyte, megasporocyte undergoes meiosis (megaspore), megaspore develops (female gametophyte), fertilization occurs, ovule becomes seed
Gymnosperm diversity Cycadophyta (large cones and plam leaves), Ginkgophyta (flagellate sperm), Gnetophyta, Coniferophyta (conifers, woody cones)
Angiosperm Adaptations: flowers and fruits
Flower Unique angiosperm structure that is specialized for sexual reproduction Sepals (green, enclose flower), petals (attract pollinators), stamens (microsporophylls), carpels (megasporophylls)
Stamens Consists of filament (stalk), anther (terminal sac where pollen is produced)
Carpels Stigma (sticky recieves pollen), style (leads from the stigma to the base of the carpel), ovary (at base of the carpel contains one or more femal gametophytes) Pistil is a single carpel
Fruit Mature and thickened ovary wall
Angiosperm life cycle Megasporocyte divides (meiosis, female gameteophyte), microsporocyte divides (meiosis, four microspores), microspore becomes pollen, pollen tube elongates down style, double fertilization(two sperm), zygote develops into seed, seed germinates (sporophyte)
Angiosperm diversity Basal angiosperms (first diverged), magnoliids (typically spiral), monocots (one cotyledon, seed leaves), eudicots (true dicots), dicots (two cotyledon, seed leaves)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
