Quiz Bacteria and Plants/ Plants notes

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Vascular plants   Have tubes that carry liquid inside the plant;has roots,stems,and leaves  
🗑
Veins   lines running through a leaf and carry water  
🗑
Midrib   one vein in the middle of the leaf that is thicker than the rest; gets water from the stem and carries water to the rest of the smaller veins  
🗑
Non-vascular plants   don't have tubes inside them; ex. Moss;Phylum Bryophyta(moss plants)  
🗑
Lichens   NOT plants; actually fungus plus algae;they like places with clean air  
🗑
Pods   Vessel that holds the seeds  
🗑
Angiosperms   Speed container;Phylum Anthophyta(flower plants)  
🗑
Gymnosperms   uncovered seed;Phylum Coniferophyta(Cone plants)  
🗑
Seedless vascular plants   Phylum Pterophyta(wing plants);ferns;make sporangia  
🗑
Sporangia   little spots filled with spores found on the leaves  
🗑
Seeds   contain embryonic plants that are dormant  
🗑
Seedling   little plant that first emerges from the seed  
🗑
Testa   seed coat;comes off when seed is exposed to the water and warmth= germination  
🗑
Hillum   "scar" on seed;place where seed was attached to the mother plant  
🗑
Cotyledons   biggest part of the embryonic plant;provides food to the embryo once the seeds opens and the embryo starts growing into a plant  
🗑
Endosperm   food for the embryo  
🗑
Radicle   embryo's root;has tiny hairs to search for water and nutrients  
🗑
Hypocotyl   embryo's stem;elongates and searches for light  
🗑
Epicotyl   top of the embryo;holds the plumule  
🗑
Plumule   first true leaves of the plant  
🗑
Moncots   1 cotyledon;leaves with veins going up to the top of leaf;no midrib; petals of flowers are in multiples of 3  
🗑
Dicots   2 cotyledons;leaves with a midrib; petals of flowers are in multiples of 4 or 5  
🗑
Stomata   tiny holes on bottom of every leaf;"little mouths";allow important substances to enter the plant through the leaf;take in carbon dioxide;release water and oxygen  
🗑
Guard Cells   2 of them surround each stoma;banana-shaped;open the stoma in the morning to allow carbon dioxide;release water and oxygen  
🗑
Transpiration   process in which the stomata open to the release excess water from the plant  
🗑
Pathogen   organism that causes disease  
🗑
Kingdom Archaebacteria   Archae= "ancient" Most live in extreme environments Methanogens= swamps,sewage,anaerobic environments Prokaryotic Cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan Have some characteristics similar to eukaryotic cells  
🗑
Thermoacidophiles   habit=high acidity soils,hot springs,hydrothermal vents;Archaebateria  
🗑
Methanogens   habit=swamps,sewage,anerobic environments;Archaebacteria  
🗑
Halophiles   "salt lovers"; Dead Sea;Great Salt Lake  
🗑
Kingdom Eubacteria   No agreement exactly how to classify this kingdom Scientific names usual describe characteristics of the cells Parasitic groups= Rickettsiae,Spirochetes,Mycoplasmas  
🗑
Coccus   shape=round or oval  
🗑
Bacillus   shape=rod  
🗑
Spirillum   Shape=tight spiral  
🗑
Spirochete   shape= loose,curvy,wavy,circle  
🗑
Diplo   arrangement=paired  
🗑
Strepto   arrangement=chain  
🗑
Staphylo   arrangement=clusters  
🗑
Capsule   external covering of the cell wall; sticky; helps bacteria adhere to surfaces  
🗑
Cell wall   support;protection;regulates movement in/out  
🗑
Cell membrane/plasma membrane   Bi-layer phospholipids;regulates movement in/out;contains enzymes for metabolism  
🗑
Endosperm   Dormant,tough,and non-reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria  
🗑
Fimbria/fimbriae   outside of the cell wall and capsule;fibrous bristles;used for grasping surfaces or other bacteria  
🗑
Flagellum/flagella   locomotion;strand of protein;single or can be multiple;3 parts:filament,hook,basal body  
🗑
Nuclear area   Non-membrane bound area that contains DNA  
🗑
Pilus/pili   used for attachment and transfer of genetic information between cells;reproduction  
🗑
Plasmid   small circular portions of DNA that are separate from the main chromosomes  
🗑
Ribosome   Non-membrane bound organelle;protein synthesis  
🗑
Virology   the study of viruses  
🗑
Etiology   study of the cause of a disease  
🗑
