    Kingdom Exploration Lab Report

    Organism two is yeast, which is apart of the fungi kingdom, evident due to its small circular transparent cells. Organisms in the fungi kingdom are mostly multicellular eukaryotes that reproduce both sexually and asexually. Fungi are also heterotrophs, meaning they gain energy from the consumption of other organisms. Organism three is a Daphnia which is a common water flea with a transparent body. Daphnias are apart of the Animalia kingdom, making it eukarya. Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are also multicellular eukaryotes that are heterotrophs and reproduce sexually. Organism four is a paramecium which is a single-celled eukaryote with an evident nucleus in the center of the cell. Parameciums are apart of the Protista kingdom and are mostly unicellular eukaryotes. Organisms such as parameciums in the Protista kingdom also reproduce both sexually and asexually while also being both heterotrophs and autotrophs. Lastly, organism five, also known as Euglena, is a unicellular eukaryote that is also apart of the Protista kingdom. Euglenas also reproduce asexually and are…

    Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to gain a complete understanding around the rate of cellular respiration within multicellular organisms, also to research and understand how to use a CO2. Background: Living systems require free energy and matter to maintain order, to reproduce, and grow. Energy deficiencies cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels as well. 1 mol of H2O produces 1 mol of CO2 through cellular respiration. Autotrophic organisms capture free energy from the environment through the process of photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.…

    Bottle Mold Research Paper

    The mold is placed into the machine. On one end of the machine there is a reciprocal screw in a heated barrel. The plastic is fed into the barrel, which in turn feeds it into the screw. The first section of the screw holds the plastic together so that it starts to melt. Moving a little further up, the threads on the screw become thinner. This because the barrel is heated and the pieces of plastic are being pushed together and rubber together, the plastic melts. At the tip of the screw there is a piece which holds the plastic in place until enough plastic has been stored to push into the mold and complete the mold. Now that the plastic has been melted, it needs to be injected into the mold before it hardens and dries. Using a hydraulic push, the machine pushes the screw forward at up to 300 psi, blasting the plastic into the mold at an immense rate. Finally, when the product has been cooled, it is removed from the machine.…

    Chapter 21 Fungi Study Guide

    A: Hyphae from different mating types fuse to produce gamete-forming structures known as gametangia. Haploid (N) gametes produced in the gametangia fuse with gametes of the opposite mating type to form diploid (2N) zygotes. These zygotes develop into thick-walled zygospores, which may remain dormant for months. When conditions become favorable, the zygospore germinates, then undergoes meiosis, and new haploid spores are released.…

    Meiosis is an important part of the life cycle that gives rise to the genetic variation in offsprings. Meiosis in fungi differs from those in plants and animals. Fungi are composed of hyphae, which are tubules that make up the frame. These hyphae together form a clump or a mat that is the mycelium (Campbell, 637). The hyphae are key to fungus reproduction. Typically fungi produce large amounts of spores through either sexual or asexual reproduction. Fungal hyphae are normally haploid. When two fungi mate, the hyphae fuse together. The movement of the two fungal nuclei into one cytoplasm is known as dikaryon. Next, the cells go into karyogamy. The two nuclei fuse and provide diploid cells. These newly produced cells then go through mitosis and meiosis that cultivate spores (Campbell, 639). The spores are called ascopores and are found in a saclike structure that is the ascus. The spores germinate and form hyphae (Campbell, 64)…

    Hyphae branch and fuse during growth of the fungus to form a network of cells called a mycelium. During the sexual phase, cell fusion results in the formation of a single-celled, diploid zygote encased in an ascus (plural, asci). Within the ascus, each single-celled zygote undergoes meiosis and gives rise to four haploid cells. These haploid cells then undergo a single round of mitotic division and give rise to a total of eight haploid ascospores with thick cell walls in each ascus. Many of these rod-shaped asci, each with eight ascospores, are held together in a protective, flask-shaped perithecium.…

    Ap Bio- Fungi

    Most fungi are multicellular with eukaryotic cells, but some can be unicellular also, like yeast. Like plants, cells in fungi also have cell walls. But instead of being made of cellulose, it is made of chitin, a more flexible material. In general, fungi will have a basic structure of having a small filament (called hyphae) network that stretches out to invade the material that it will prey on, which is connected to a structure that will produce spores used in reproduction. The hyphae cells can either be septate or coencytic. Septate hyphae cells are separated with little walls that divide the hyphae so each division of the cell has only one nucleus. They also usually have pores that allow ribosomes,…

    The collared lizard is a species found in the Desert Southwest. Male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. Your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. Your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. You predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. To test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. You selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. You placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. Out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. In 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type.…
