Term
What are the three types of life cycles
Definition
Zygotic- is accomplished by spores with sporangia A zygotic meiosis is a meiosis of a zygote immediately after karyogamy, which is the fusion of two cell nuclei. This way, the organism ends its diploid phase and produces several haploid cells. These cells divide mitotically to form either larger, multicellular individuals, or more haploid cells. Two opposite types of gametes (e.g., male and female) from these individuals or cells fuse to become a zygote.

Gametic- Egg Sperm

Sporic
Term

Term
Four characteristics specific to prokaryotes
Definition
Size - Eukaryotic cells are about 10 times larger than prokaryotic cells.

Location of genetic material - Prokaryotic cells have it in the nucleoid region with no nuclear membrane.

No Organelles

Reproduction - Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission

DNA - Prokaryotes have circular DNA.
Term
What are the two different types of cells found within an anabaena colony
Definition
Heterocyst's- Nitrogen Fixation
Akinetes- Survive hot temps
Term
what is the difference between obligate and facultative anaerobes
Definition
Our muscles usually have oxygen available to them....but they can make do without oxygen...hence their faculties still operate without oxygen (but really they would rather have oxygen). Obligate anerobes _must_ be in an anaerobic environment...they die if oxygen is there. It's not just that they can function without oxygen, it's that they must be in a place with no oxygen.
