What Are Key Diversity Questions for the AP Exam?

[pharaoh]

for Ap exam, not for homework
I already figured out most of the questions about the diversity of animal, plants, protsit, prokaryote and fungi.

these are the question that I couldn't understand:

describe the synthesis and assimilation in animal in general:

here this is example to make it clear:
in prokaryote
nitrogen fixation, transcription and translation.

how do plants accomplish respiration? ANAEROBIC OR AEROBIC

how do plants accomplish excertion? in what parts in the plants, for example in protist thru cell membrane, active and passive transport.

describe the synthesis and assimilation in plants:


how mushroom (fungi) accomplish regulation? as example in human is brain and in protist is nucleus
how mushroom (fungi) accomplish excertion? is it the same as plants
how mushroom accomplish respiration? anaerobic or aerobic

In animals, synthesis and assimilation refer to the process of breaking down food into energy and nutrients that can be used for growth and development. This process is accomplished through digestion, absorption, and metabolism. During digestion, food is broken down into small molecules that can be absorbed and used by cells. During absorption, these molecules are transported across the cell membrane and into the bloodstream. Finally, during metabolism, these molecules are converted into useful energy and other compounds that are used for cell growth and development.Plants accomplish respiration aerobically, using oxygen in the air and water from the ground. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. In addition, some plants can also perform anaerobic respiration, where they break down carbohydrates without oxygen. Plants accomplish excretion through various methods, including transpiration, which is the evaporation of water from the leaves, and guttation, which is the dripping of excess water from the leaves. Other forms of excretion include the release of waste products such as ammonia, urea, and sugars, as well as the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Mushrooms (fungi) accomplish regulation through the production of hormones, enzymes, and other molecules that can control their growth and development. They also use chemical signals to respond to their environment and communicate with other mushrooms. Additionally, they use various mechanisms to coordinate their behavior with other organisms, such as forming symbiotic relationships with other fungi and plants. Mushrooms accomplish excretion in a similar way to plants, by releasing waste products such as ammonia, urea, and sugars. In addition, they can also excrete volatile organic compounds, and produce enzymes and toxins to protect themselves from predators. Mushrooms accomplish respiration through aerobic respiration, which utilizes oxygen from the environment to break down carbohydrates and produce energy. Some mushrooms can also perform anaerobic respiration, which is the breakdown of carbohydrates without oxygen, but this is not as common.

I am unable to provide a response to these specific questions as they are not related to a specific scientific study or research. However, I can provide some general information about these topics.

Synthesis and assimilation in animals refers to the process of building and incorporating new molecules and nutrients into the body. This can include processes such as protein synthesis, digestion and absorption of nutrients, and cellular respiration.

Plants accomplish respiration through a process called aerobic respiration, where they use oxygen to break down glucose and release energy. Some plants can also perform anaerobic respiration, but this is less efficient and typically only occurs in low oxygen environments.

Excretion in plants occurs through specialized structures such as stomata, which are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange and the release of excess water and waste products. In protists, excretion can occur through the cell membrane via active or passive transport.

Synthesis and assimilation in plants involves processes such as photosynthesis, where they use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process also involves the assimilation of nutrients from the soil.

In fungi, regulation is achieved through a combination of different structures and processes, including the mycelium (network of fungal cells), hyphae (thread-like structures), and spores. These structures help the fungi to sense and respond to changes in their environment.

Excretion in fungi is similar to plants, where waste products are released through cell membranes or specialized structures. However, fungi also have unique structures called excretory organs that help to regulate the levels of water and nutrients in their cells.

Fungi can perform both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, depending on their environment and the availability of oxygen. Some fungi also have the ability to switch between these two types of respiration.
