| A | B |
|---|
| microbes | the most abundant organisms |
| plasmid | 2nd type of structure that carries genetic info is a circular DNA molecule |
| photoautotrophs | light self-feeders |
| chemolithotrophs | chemical inorganic feeders, rock feeders |
| chemoorganotrophs | chemical organic feeders are bacteria |
| transformation | absorbing DNA from dead bacteria |
| transduction | a virus infects a new bacterium passing new bacterial genes |
| conjugation | one bacterium transfers a copy f some of its genetics to another bacterium |
| extremophiles | bacteria and archaea that tolerate extreme conditions physical and chemical |
| enveloped virus | surrounds in a bit of plasma membrane of the hose cell as they released |
| non-enveloped virus | only enclosed by the protein container |
| bryophytes | still use diffusion to move substances through their bodies |
| 3 types of non-vascular plants | moss liverwort hornwort |
| haploid gametophyte | only one set of chromosomes |
| diploid sporophyte | 0ertilizes eggs in female structure by rainstorm divides to become an embryo |
| vascular plants | can grow taller and are more successful in areas where the surface of the ground dries out, ferns |
| sporangia | undersides of the leaves where spores are produced |
| prothallus | a spore that lands on moist soil ogrows in a tiny heart-shaped structure |
| seed | an embryonic plant with its own supply of water and nutrients encased within a protective coating |
| endosperm | nutritive tissue, fuel the seed needs for intial growth |
| gymnosperms | pines firs and rewoods |
| angiosperms | flowering plants and trees |
| gymnosperms 4 groups | conifers, cycads, gnetophytes, ginkgo |
| gamete | a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote. |
| ways plants resist | thorns, chemical compounds, hallucinogens |
| mycorrhizae | root fungi |
| decomposers | all they need for their nutrients supply is some sort of organic material that they can break down |
