Biology Lab Quiz Review

Bacteria

Most are heterotrophic; some are autotrophic, single-celled prokaryotes.

Coccus

Bacteria with a circular shape.

Bacillus

Bacteria with a rod-shaped structure.

Spirillum

Bacteria with a spiral shape.

Protists

The most abundant kingdom, consisting of single-celled eukaryotes like amoeba, paramecium, and euglena.

Plants

Multicellular eukaryotes that are autotrophic and provide oxygen through photosynthesis.

Fungus

Includes molds, mildews, yeast, and mushrooms; they lack a tissue system and are heterotrophic.

Hyphae

Thread-like structures in fungi that act as the equivalent of organs.

Mycelium

The body of the fungus.

Rhizoids

Root-like structures in fungi that anchor the hyphae to the food it grows on

Stolons

Runner-like structures in fungi that help locate additional nutrition.

Sporangium

A spherical spore-bearing structure that releases spores upon maturity.

Autotropic

Organisms that make their own energy and give off oxygen.

Heterotrophic

Organisms that obtain energy from other plants or animals.

Prokaryotic

Cells that lack a nucleus.

Eukaryotic

Cells that have a nucleus.

Ocular Magnification

The magnification power of the ocular lens, which is 10x.

Scanning Magnification

The lowest magnification power of a microscope, which is 4x.

Low Power Magnification

Magnification power of 10x.

High Power Magnification

The highest magnification power of a microscope, which is 40x.

Metric Conversion: 1 meter
