Period 3A Plant VS. Fungi

Guess what the stinkiiest plant in the world is the Reflessia. It is red with yellow spots. It has a whole in the middle in which desposites its stench. Okay that was a fun fact now here is a fact about plants around the world.
Did you know that plants to reproduce they drop seeds that fall to the ground and grow or blow away and grow somewhere else. Also the leaves/needles of a plant shade the dry from drying out. Last but not least plants use water and sunlight to create there own food in which is like a sugar substance.
Thats it for the fun facts on plants.

per. 3A Plants vs. Fungi

Question two, by Marlaina.

Q:How do plants and fungi get their nutrients?

A:Fungi gets their nutrients from hyphae. The hyphae is an individual filaments that contains cyptoplasm and one or more nuclei. Also enzymes digest the food.

Plants get their nutrients from the sunlight. They get energy through their roots.

Question one , by Brianna

Q: What adaptations/structures do plants and fungi have that help them survive in different environments?

A: Adaptations that help a plant survive is chlorophyll. This captures energy from sunlight. Another adaptations is chloroplasts. A plant needs a cuticle. This prevents the plant from drying out. A plant also needs a vacuole which stores water. The cell membrane surrounds a plant cell while the cell was supports the plant cell.

Adaptations that help fingi survive is the nonmotile organism. This obtains food by decomposing matter.

This is what I learned about the adaptations that plants and fungi have to help them survive!

Period 2A: Plants vs Fungi

2. Q. How do plants and fungi get their food?
A. Plants get their food from four main sources...
1. soil,
2. sunlight,
3. water,
4. carbon dioxide.
While fungi gets theirs differently...
1. Saprophytic fungi uses dead matter.
2. Parasetic fungi gets their's from living organisms by taking nutrients.

Period 2A

1. Q: What adaptations do plants and fungi have that help them to survive in different envirements?
A: plants survive by getting energy from the sunlight to make food, carbon dioxide and water. plants are producers. fungi survives by needing water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. they need organic material and moisture. they live almost everywhere. they reach new areas through spores and carried by winds. spores are nessecary to find new food sources.

Period 2A: Plants vs. Fungi

Plants:
3. Plants first create spore. This is the sporophyte stage. Then in the gametophytes stage, eggs are produced and fertilizled. Spores are made again to start the cycle over.

Fungi:
3. The Fungi has spore producing parts. The Fungi has to be in a living organism in order to produce. Once the Fungi is in a living organism, it reproduces and the fungi multiplies.

*Allele- a certain trait or characteristic; usually designated by a letter (N for neck length)

*Big letters are dominant alleles; small letters are recessive alleles (N= long neck; n=short neck)

*Genotype- what you get when two alleles are put together from a mother and a father to create a certain characteristic or trait in the offspring(baby). They have to be the same letter but can be both big (dominant-NN), both small(recesive-nn), or one big and one small (Nn)

*Phenotype- the characteristic or trait that we see. Determined by the alleles that are present.

NN- the phenotype is long neck because both alleles are dominant

Nn- the phenotype is long neck because the dominant allele is always stronger

nn- the phenotype is short neck because both alleles are recessive

This is a link for a galxies webquest that periods 4B and 5B will working on next week (1/19). Check it out and take a look at it.

Advanced homework

Homework for Periods 2A, 3A, and 6B: Revise your previous assignment with a better definition of "Domain" and examples of each of the three recognized Domains. You can use this link for assistance:

http://www.biology.iupui.edu/biocourses/n100/2k43domainnotes.html

The "Previous Slide"

Here are the categories you are to define:

Didn’t King Philip Come Over For Great Spaghetti? (that’s my mnemonic, you can create your own if you like). And the categories are:

Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

Homework for Periods 2A, 3A, and 6B

Define each of the categories from the previous slide. Then use this classification scheme to classify the following organisms:
*Bottlenose dolphin
*Sago palm
*Pfiesteria piscicida (an algae that can cause red tide)

*List and briefly describe the three domains of organisms.

Due on 1/11 if I see you on an A-Day and 1/12 if I see you on B-Day

Upcoming Assignments/Close of second nine weeks

Advanced Classes:
