Examples of fungi are Penicillium, yeast and mushrooms. Plants are multicellular and carry out photosynthesis. The cells are eukaryotic, have cell walls made of cellulose and vacuoles containing cell sap. Also, they have chloroplasts containing photosynthetic pigments. The main plant phyla include mosses, liverworts, ferns and conifers.
1) Monocots are shorts for “Monocotyledons” which means plants whose embryo has one cotyledon; whereas, Eudicots (Eudicotyledons) carry embryo with 2 cotyledons. The cotyledons of eudicots supply nutrients for seedlings, but the cotyledons of monocots store some nutrients and act as a transfer tissue for nutrients stored elsewhere. Five key features are typically used to distinguish monocots from eudicots; a seed, arrangement of vascular tissue in roots, stems, and leaves, and number of flower parts. The seed has the reproductive structures that are protected from drying out, have male and female gametophytes which are reduced in size. In young dicot stems and stems (usually the upright, vertical portion of a plant transports substances to and the leaves) that do not increase in thickness, xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex.
How does the “Cotesia” protect its worm in young tobacco hornworms? A: The mother wasp injects the eggs as part of a soupy mix. The eggs depend on the soup for their survival: if you take out the eggs, clean off the soup, and then put them directly into a caterpillar, the host's immune system rages full tilt and mummifies the eggs. The parasite survives thanks to millions of viruses swimming in the soup. 6.
From where were the toads imported? 4. Why were the toads imported? To eat all the cane grubs and beetles 5. The term used to describe the sexual clasping of amphibians proceeding egg laying and fertilization is called _______________.
Spider (Agelenopsis) 5. Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) ------____________________________________________________________________ Interactions and Adaptations: 1 animal & 1 plant adaptation that is used for energy · the fly uses waste from other animals for food/energy. · the plant gets water from the creek and helps the plant grow. 1 plant & 1 animal adaptation for protection or survival · the ducks is able to hold its breath underwater for a longer amount of time so it can collect bugs. · the plant has poison on it so scavengers do not eat it.

The mucous tube insulates and prevents the glow worm from dehydration. At night inside the tube it moves back and forth breaking through the tube to repair its web or to feed on trapped insects. During the day the glow worm hides inside its safety haven to avoid daylight predators. Ironically the glow worm is not actually a worm but a larvae. Early settlers from the British Isles applied the common name 'glow worm' as a substitute for the English glow worm Lampyris noctiluca, which was actually a beetle.
The Effects of the Invading Tawny Crazy Ants Ecology is the branch in biology that deals with the interactions between organisms and their environment. Tawny crazy ants are an example of ecology by the way they impact ecosystems as invasive species due to the absence of natural predators, pathogens and competitors (Kronauer, 2014). These invasive ant species were found in Texas around 2002 commonly known as tawny (Rasberry) ants and now classified as Nylanderia fulva (Ant, 2013). Tawny crazy ants affect ecosystems as an invasive species. The Red Imported Fire Ants, Solenopsis invicta, are being successfully outcompeted and even displaced by the crazy ants (Gotzek et al., 2012).
Plants are the producers for an ecosystem. They photosynthesise carbon dioxide and water and produce energy in the form of carbohydrates and other molecules. Photosynthesis requires water, and plants gain water from the soil using mineral ions such as nitrate produced by the nitrifying bacteria. Hydrolysis of ATP releases energy for processes such as active transport of the nitrate ions (and others such as potassium etc) from the soil into root hair cells, a process that lowers water potential and is used to draw water into the plant from the soil. In leaves, photosynthesis involves the photolysis of water, a process that involves the attachment of two electrons to a magnesium ion in chlorophyll and the production of hydrogen ions from the breakdown of water.
3) What does the taproot system do? Often stores organic nutrients that the plant consumes during flowering and fruit production. 4) Why are root crops such as carrots, turnips, and sugar beets harvested before they flower? Because the taproot system stores organic nutrients in the root part. 5) What is the system where no roots stand out as the main one?
