Cell theory

states that all organisms are made of cells and all cells come from preexisting cells

Endosymbiosis Theory

proposes that mitochondria originated when a bacterial cell took up residence inside a eukaryote about 2 billion years ago

Chemical evolution

proposes that the simple molecules present on ancient Earth reacted with one another to create larger

Domains of life

based on ribosomal RNA sequences reveals three domains—Archaea

Bacteria

prokaryotic. They have cell walls made of peptidoglycan

Archaea

prokaryotic and unicellular. They have cell walls made of polysaccharides

Koch’s postulates

used to confirm a causative link between a specific infectious disease and an infectious microbe:

Extremophiles

Bacteria or archaea that live in high‑salt

Oxygen revolution

Cyanobacteria

Phototrophs

use light energy. ATP is produced by cellular respiration

Primary producers

Bacteria and photosynthetic protists are __ in the aquatic food chain

Vascular tissue

specialized for water and nutrient transport

Pollen

When pollen evolved

Seed coat

structure that encloses and protects a developing embryo

Flower evolution

The success of angiosperms in terms of geographical distribution

Hyphae

The filaments that make up a mycelium

Fungal surface area

Because of hyphae this exists

Adaptation

genetic change that occurs over generations in response to natural selection in a population

Acclimatization

accustomed to a new climate in one lifespan

Surface‑area/volume

As a cell gets larger

Homeostasis

maintenance of relatively constant chemical and physical conditions in an animal's cells

Thermoregulation terms

An endotherm produces heat in its own tissue; an ectotherm relies on heat gained from the environment

Cuticle

waxy overcoat

Stomata

Gas exchange is accomplished by this

Fungi’s role

master traders and recyclers in terrestrial ecosystems
