    Study Notes

    • Prokaryotes are ancient organisms lacking a nucleus and true membrane-bound organelles, including bacteria and Archaea.
    • Prokaryotes can be spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), or spiral-shaped (spirilla).
    • Prokaryotes reproduce asexually mainly through binary fission.
    • Prokaryotes gain genetic diversity through transformations, transductions, and conjugations.
    • Prokaryotes can obtain energy through various methods like phototrophy and chemotrophy.
    • The term "protist" is used to describe diverse eukaryotic organisms that are not animals, fungi, or plants.
    • Protists come in various morphologies, physiologies, and ecologies.
    • Most protists are microscopic and unicellular but some are multicellular like Caulerpa.
    • Fungi are multicellular organisms with a mycelium, which is a mesh of threadlike filaments.
    • Asexual reproduction in fungi occurs through budding or spore production by mitosis.
    • Sexual reproduction in fungi involves fusion of hyphal tips, creating a dikaryotic cell, and subsequent meiosis.
    • Fungi have beneficial partnerships with other organisms through mycorrhiza and lichens.
    • Angiosperms are plants with seeds enclosed in an ovary.
    • Flowers in plants have sepals, petals, pistils, and stamen, and their primary function is to attract pollinators.
    • Fruits in plants aid in dispersal, usually through animals or by wind.
    • Angiosperms undergo double fertilization, where one sperm fertilizes the egg and the other forms the endosperm.
