Flashcards : Fundamentals of Biological Diversity — 24 cartes

Consists solely of bacteria, prokaryotic organisms.

Lack a nucleus, have cell walls, and are usually unicellular.

Bacteria lacking a cell wall, smallest living cells.

Acellular entities requiring a host to replicate.

Small infectious RNA molecules without a protein coat.

Infectious proteins causing neurodegenerative diseases.

Fungi and photosynthetic algae or cyanobacteria.

Photosynthesis and gas exchange.

In stems and leaves, for transport of water and nutrients.

Absorb light energy for converting CO2 and water into glucose.

Cytoplasm, breaks down glucose anaerobically.

Mitochondrial matrix, oxidizes acetyl-CoA.

Produces ATP by creating a proton gradient.

Auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins.

Promote cell elongation and root initiation.

Mitochondria.

Type of reaction catalyzed, e.g., oxidoreductases.

Specific cells or organs with receptors.

Transfer of pollen from anther to stigma.

Fusion of sperm and ovum.

DNA polymerase.

Transcription factors and epigenetic modifications.

Number of individuals per unit area or volume.

Ensures ecosystem stability and resilience.
