BIOL 1002 LSU (Pomarico) Exam 2 (2025) QUESTIONS AND
(DETAILED ANSWERS) WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Alternation of generations - ✔✔A life cycle, typical of plants,
in which a diploid sporophytes (spore-producing) generation
alternates with a haploid gametophyte (gamete-producing)
generation
Angiosperms - ✔✔Flowering plants;
Monocots (grass, grains, lilies) and Dicots
Apical meristems - ✔✔The cluster of meristem cells at the tip
of a shoot or root (or one of their branches)
Ascomycetes - ✔✔(Sac fungi)
Live in decaying vegetation and either form cup-shaped
structures or mushroom-like fruiting.
Reproduce both asexually and sexually.
Ascus - ✔✔A saclike case in which sexual spores are formed
by Ascomycetes
,Basidia - ✔✔a diploid cell, typically club-shaped; produces
basidiospores by meiosis.
Basidiomycetes - ✔✔(Club fungi)
Forms club-shaped reproductive structures
(mushrooms)
Blade - ✔✔The flat part of a leaf
Branch root - ✔✔Off the main taproot; Created when the
pericycle is stimulated by hormones
Bulk flow - ✔✔Water and mineral move together
C HOPKiNS CaFe Mighty Good - ✔✔C, H, O, P, K, N, S, Ca, Fe,
Mg
Macronutrients
, Casparian strip - ✔✔Cell layer coated with a ways coasting;
seal the spaces between endodermal cells to force material to
pass through endodermal cells
Chitin - ✔✔Structural polysaccharide of modified sugars with
strengthen the fungal cell wall
Chlorophyll - ✔✔Green pigment which plays a crucial role in
photosynthesis
Chyrids - ✔✔Oldest known fossil Fungi that lives in water
(require it for reproduction), propels using a single flagellum.
Cohesion - ✔✔- water within xylem tubes sticks together (by
hydrogen bonds). Water molecules in the xylem tube resist
being pulled apart
Cohesion-tension theory - ✔✔How water is pulled up large
plants
