Final Exam
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mycelium | multicellular fungus composed of rapidly growing individual tubular filaments called hyphae |
| Arbuscular mycorrizae | fungal hyphae enter the root and form arbuscular (treelike) structures |
| Strigolactones | secreted by plant roots; stimulates rapid growth of fungal hyphae towards the root |
| Haustoria | invade the host and tap into the vascular tissues in the root or stem |
| Holoparasites | completely parasitic, do not perform photosynthesis |
| Ectomycorrizae | fungal hyphae wrap around the root but do not penetrate the cells |
| Budding | new individual forms from teh bodies of older animals |
| Regeneration | can replace damaged tissue or form a complete individual |
| Parthenogenesis | development of offspring from an unfertilized egg |
| Gameosis | produces haploid gametes through meitotic cell division |
| Spawning/mating | brings gametes together |
| Fertilization | fusing of gametes |
| Prostaglandins | responsible for pain; dilates blood vessels and interacts with nerve endings |
| Histamine | leads to itching and allergic reactions |
| Cytokines | soluble signaling proteins released by many cell types |
| Lymphocytes | include B cells and T cells, are smaller than phagocytes and are not phagocytitic |
| Cork cambium | produces waxy-walled protective cells |
| Ionotropic receptors | same protein detects and allows/disallows ions |
| Metabotropic receptors | influence proteins which then will influence gates |
| Gibberellins | regulate fruit growth; diffuse through endosperm to surrounding tissue called the aleurone layer |
| Cytokinin | delays senescence |
| Bassinosteroids | elongates cells except root elongation |
| Phototropin | takes in blue light causing phototropism |
| Zeaxanthin | blue light receptor, has to do w/ the light induced opening of the stomata |
| Elicitors | chemicals that trigger plant defenses |
| Phytoalexins | general antibiotics produced by the infected plant that are toxic to many fungi and bacteria |
| Xerophytes | plants adapted to dry environments |
| Halophytes | plants adapted to saline conditions |
| Corpus Luteum | created when egg released from the ovaries |
| Effector cells/plasma cells | carry out the attack on the antigen |
| Memory cells | can create effector/plasma cells on short notice |
| Bulk flow | flow of water and dissolved solutes driven by a gradient of pressure potential over long distances in xylem and phloem |
