Biology 110-12 . 1. What are the five kingdoms and give a brief description of each kingdom? Answer: Monera- Single celled prokaryotes;bacteria Protista - Mostly single celled eukaryotes; Photoautotrophs (algae) and heterotrophs (protozoa) Fungi-Multicellular eukaryotes that feed by extracellular digestion and absorption Heterotrophs: includes decomposers‚ many pathogens and parasites Plantae-Multicellular photosynthetic autotrophs producers Animalia- Diverse multicellular heterotrophs Range from

which gains protection from living among the poisonous tentacles of the sea anemone‚ but offers no known benefit to its host. A common and widespread symbiosis occurs between terrestrial plants and fungi that colonize their roots; this is called "mycorrhizae.” Unlike pathogenic fungi that cause disease‚ mycorrhizal fungi benefit the plant in several ways. These fungi germinate from spores in the soil to form thin threadlike structures called hyphae‚ which grow into the roots of plants. Once the roots

Predator - Prey Relationships The relationship between predators and their prey is an intricate and complicated relationship; covering a great area of scientific knowledge. This paper will examine the different relationships between predator and prey; focusing on the symbiotic relations between organisms‚ the wide range of defense mechanisms that are utilized by various examples of prey‚ and the influence between predators and prey concerning evolution and population structure. Symbiosis is

2.1 Improved plant material for establishing successful teak plantations For planting‚ teak vegetative material comes from seeds or vegetative propagation (clones). Careless selection of plant material is one of the main causes of plantation failure. There has been considerable progress in producing improved seed from seed areas and orchards‚ increasing the overall quality of plants used for many projects. To obtain considerable genetic gains in shorter time clonal propagation has shown to be an

INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN THE SPECIES INTERACTION BETWEEN PLANTS AND ANIMALS: Animals are depending upon plants for their food shelter and also for various things. ANIMALS HELP PLANTS IN DIFFERENT WAYS 1.Many animals are involved in the pollination in plants. 2.Fruits and seeds of many plants are dispersed by animals 3.Decomposers convert organic substances into inorganic substances so that plants can absorb them easily. SPECIES INTERACTION All types of relationship between organisms can

INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY The purpose of this document is to introduce root words and their definitions. These words play a vital role in Biology because many scientific terms are based on these words. Because these root words are Greek or Latin in origin‚ their meanings have remained consistent throughout time. By becoming familiar with root words and their definitions you can determine general meanings of many terms by simply applying these root word definitions. For example‚ the

"In every sense‚ a standing rain forest supplies more economic wealth than if it were cleared yet deforestation continues at an alarming rate." (Tropical Rain Forest Coalition‚ 1996). Rain Forests have played a significant role in shaping modern biology. The destruction of the rain forests will determine the fate of all species humans plants and animals. Many people do not understand the long- term consequences of losing the earth’s rain forests. They have provided all living beings with many
