metabolism namely: anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism is called as the constructive or building up phase. This includes assimilation or building up of protoplasm from simple compounds and elements which are end-products of digestion. Photosynthesis in plants is an example of anabolism. Catabolism is the destructive or breaking down phase. This involves the release of energy by breaking food substances through respiration.

Parts of plants Each part of a plant has a very important function. All plants produce flowers for the same reason: to make seeds so another plant can grow. Leaves: These are the parts of the plant where food is made by photosynthesis. Leaves take in carbon dioxide from the air‚ water from the soil‚ and energy from the sunlight. During photosynthesis‚ the leaves use light energy to change carbon dioxide and water into food. (sugar) Flowers: These are the reproductive parts of

Paramecium living in the intestines of termites breaks down the cellulose walls of wood fibers releasing proteins that are absorbed by the termites’ digestive system. Paramecium benefit by having an environment to thrive and they ingest the wood fibers for their own nutrition as well. 2. c. An important ecological effect

eaten by the anemones. The crab benefits because if any predator tries to attack‚ not only can it retract into its shell but the anemone can sting the predator which usually scares it away. Caribbean Example: Ants and Aphids. Aphids when feeding on plants secrete a sweet substance called honeydew‚ this honeydew is loved by ants and as a result they consume it. In exchange for the honeydew‚ the ants provide protection for the aphids from predators such as Ladybugs. Both organisms benefit equally from

Biology 12 3rd Exam Reviewer Exercise 9: The Prokaryotes Prokaryotes are subdivided into archaebacteria and eubacteria. Archaebacteria - no peptidoglycan in cell wall Ex. Halob acterium Eubacteria - has peptidoglycan in cell wall Eubacteria - can be differentiated by Gram staining Gram positive: purple-blue‚ mostly peptidoglycan susceptible to penicillin Gram negative: pink-red‚ less peptidoglycan‚ has lipopolysaccharides‚ susceptible to EDTA Gram negative can be further differentiated into

large and diverse group of simple‚ typically autotrophic organisms‚ ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms‚ such as the giant kelps that grow to 65 meters in length. Most are photosynthetic like plants‚ and "simple" because they lack the many distinct cell and organ types found in land plants. The largest and most complex marine forms are called seaweeds. Though the prokaryotic cyanobacteria are informally referred to as blue-green algae‚ this usage is incorrect [3] since they are regarded
