This photosynthetic protist causes red tide. dinoflagellate
Dinoflagellate have how many flagella? 2
Impact of dinoflagellate on marine life? kills fish and manatees and can paralyze humans who eat shellfish that eat them.
Golden-brown algae that secrete silica and thus are said to live in glass houses. Diatoms

Zygomycota is also called _________ fungus and its common name is __________ and ___________ ___________. zygote, fruit, bread, mold
The asexual reproduction of zygote fungus. spores land on bread or fruit and open, mycellium starts growing and when it has enough energy it grows stalks with sporangia which contain spores
The sexual reproduction of zygote fungus. When 2 spores grown in the bread or fruit meet and swap DNA forming a zygospore and a new sporangium grows and releases spores.
Ascomycota is also called _________ fungus. sac

Plants first appeared on land approximately _________ MYA. 700
Plants colonize transition zones (shorelines/coasts) __________ MYA 435
What plant colonized the transition zones first? Charaphytes
How much oxygen was in the air during the Cambrian Period? What was the result to insects? 35%, they were much bigger
The first flowering plants appeared in what is now China _____ MYA. 138
Scientific name for flowering plants angiosperms
Photosynthesis formula. water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = glucose + oxygen
2 other types of photosynthesis. C4, CAM
What type of plants use C4 photosynthesis? Plants in the plains without much water
What is C4 photosynthesis? Carbon Dioxide is stored in special cells that minimize water loss and when there is enough water, it photosynthesizes
What type of plants use CAM photosynthesis? Xeric plants (i.e. desert plants)
What is CAM photosynthesis? stomas open during the night and transform carbon dioxide as an acid and during the day it photosynthesizes
The evaporation of water from a plant when it opens its stoma to breathe, get carbon dioxide, and lose water. evapotranspiration
A hydrophytic leaf on a water plant has its stoma where? on top
What holds a hydrophytic leaf solid/unsoggy? sclereid
A Xeriphtic leaf has what protections from the hot, dry climate? very thick upper epidermis, stoma and guard cells are inside pouches on underside of leaf with tiny hairs that protect the stoma and capture water.
What is the name of the tiny hairs on Xeriphitic leaves that protect the stoma and capture water? trichome
Who wrote the first book on carnivorous plants? Darwin
This plant hormone promotes stem elongation, adventitious roots, fruit growth, etc. Auxin
This plant hormone promotes fruit ripening. ethylene
___________ is critical for plants. nitrate
Samara helicopter like seeds
Examples of plant intelligence respond to stimuli in complex ways, optimal root networks, grow branches and leaves due to perceived changes in sunlight, abscise (shed) infected leaves, change sap toxicity when herbivores present, cells communicate, ultrasonic sound when stressed.
Allelopathy = one plant produces chemicals that can inhibit or promote the growth of other plants nearby
Acacia trees do this when heavily grazed. produce gaseous ethylene which travels to the leaves of nearby Acacia trees causing the overproduction of tannins that make the leaves bitter and toxic so the herbivores won't eat it.
