Study Notes
Respiration in Bacteria
- Occurs in the plasma membrane of bacteria.
- Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water in aerobic respiration using oxygen.
- In anaerobic respiration, other molecules such as nitrate (NO3-) are used.
Reproduction in Bacteria
- Bacteria reproduce both asexually and sexually.
- Sexual reproduction in bacteria was discovered by Blakeslee in Mucor.
Mushroom and Fairy Rings
- Agaricus compestris is an edible mushroom, also known as the white button mushroom.
- The fruiting body of Agaricus arises in concentric rings, called fairy rings or fungal flowers, from the mycelium present in the soil.
Lichens
- Lichens have a composite structure, consisting of two dissimilar organisms in a symbiotic relationship.
- The algal part, called the phycobiont, provides food to the fungi.
- The fungal part, called the mycobiont, provides shelter to the algae.
Mycorrhiza
- It is a symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant.
- Plants provide organic food to the fungus, and in return, the fungus supplies water and mineral nutrients to the plants.
Kingdom Plantae (Eukaryotic, Chlorophyllous Organisms)
- These are chlorophyllous and embryo forming organisms (excluding algae).
- They are mostly non-motile and function as producers in the ecosystem, fixing solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
- Plant cells have cellulosic cell walls and their stored food material is in the form of starch.
Viroids
- These are infectious agents that are known to infect plants only (not animals).
- An example is the potato spindle tuber viroid.
Virion
- An intact, inert, complete virus particle capable of infecting the host, lying outside the host cell in a cell-free environment, is called a virion.
Virusoids
- These are similar to viroids but are located inside the protein coat of a true virus.
- Virusoid RNA can be circular or linear and are non-infectious, as they are replicated only in their host.
Prions/Slow Virus
- Prions are the smallest, proteinaceous infectious particles, i.e., disease-causing agents that can be transmitted from one animal to another.
Plant Kingdom: Producers of the Ecosystem
- Plants are multicellular, photoautotrophic and embryo forming (excluding algae) organisms placed in Kingdom Plantae.
- They have cell walls made up of cellulose and store food in the form of starch (sometimes fat as in seeds).
- Plants are called producers because they have the unique ability to fix solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, supplying energy to other living organisms within the ecosystem.
Plant Kingdom Classification
- The plant kingdom is classified into:
-
Cryptogamae (non-flowering)
- Thallophyta (plant body is not divided into root, stem and leaves)
- Algae
- Bryophyta (embryophytes without vascular tissues)
- Liverworts
- Hornworts
- Mosses
- Pteridophyta (embryo bearing plants which form seeds and contain vascular tissue)
- Ferns
- Thallophyta (plant body is not divided into root, stem and leaves)
-
Phanerogamae (flowering)
- Gymnosperms (naked seed plants)
- Angiosperms (covered seed)
- Monocotyledons
- Dicotyledons
Algae
- These are eukaryotic, autotrophic (holophytic), chlorophyll containing, non-vascular thallophytes.
- They are characterized by the absence of an embryonic stage and the presence of non-jacketed gametangia.
- They are mostly of aquatic habitat (both freshwater and marine).
- The branch of Botany dealing with the study of algae is called Algology or Phycology.
- FE Fritsch is known as the 'Father of Algology'.
Economic Importance of Algae
- Algae have both useful and harmful aspects.
