Study Notes
Agaricus bisporus Classification
- Agaricus bisporus is a multicellular organism belonging to the fungi group.
- It has cells with cell walls and nuclei, and obtains nutrients from other organisms, indicating a heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
Plant Embryo Development
- The plumule, a part of a plant embryo, develops into stems and leaves.
- The cotyledon is involved in nutrient storage and early growth.
- The endosperm provides nourishment to the developing embryo.
- The radicle is the embryonic root, developing into the root system.
Plant Tissue Function
- Meristematic tissue is responsible for growth and repair in plants.
- Epidermal tissue forms the outer protective layer.
- Parenchyma tissue provides storage and support.
- Vascular tissue transports water and nutrients.
Skeletal Muscle Sheath
- The endomysium surrounds individual skeletal muscle fibers, binding them together.
- The sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of muscle cells.
- Fascia is a fibrous connective tissue that surrounds groups of muscles.
- The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a network of membrane-bound sacs that store and regulate calcium ions involved in muscle contraction.
Human Tissue Types
- Epithelial tissue covers and lines body surfaces, including skin, cavities, and organs.
- Nerve tissue transmits electrical impulses for communication.
- Connective tissue provides support, protection, and insulation.
- Muscle tissue enables movement.
Muscle Atrophy
- Lack of exercise is the most common cause of muscle atrophy.
- Poor nutrition, genetic conditions, and torn ligaments can also contribute to muscle atrophy.
Algae Groups
- Brown algae includes kelp, gulfweeds, and rockweeds.
- Red tides are caused by dinoflagellates, a group of algae.
Fruit Types
