Answers
♦Symbiotic Relationship » Relationships between living organisms where there is either mutual benefit or one organism benefits from another.
♦ Cotyledons» The cotelydon is the nutritive part of a seed. When you eat legumes (beans, etc.), nearly all of what you're consuming is the cotelydon.
♦ Cryptogams » Cryptogams are plants that do not have well-developed or conspicuous reproductive organs. They have hidden reproductive organs and don’t produce seeds.
♦ Saprophytic » 1. The organism, which grows on dead and decaying material for its growth, is known as saprophyte.
♦ Prokaryotic » Prokaryotes are simple one-celled organisms. They lack membrane-bounded internal organelles including cell nuclei and mitochondria or chloroplasts.
symbiotic relationship is one in which two(or more) organisms help each other to thrive and survive. eg: algae and fungii.
cotyledon-an embryonic leaf in seed-bearing plants, one or more of which are the first leaves to appear from a germinating seed.
cryptogram-A cryptogram is a type of puzzle that consists of a short piece of encrypted text. Generally the cipher used to encrypt the text is simple enough that the cryptogram can be solved by hand. Frequently used are substitution ciphers where each letter is replaced by a different letter or number.
saprophytic-gaining food by absorbing dissolved organic material
especially : obtaining nourishment from the products of organic breakdown and decay
saprophytic fungi
prokaryotic-A prokaryote is usually a unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle. The word prokaryote comes from the Greek πρό "before" and κάρυον "nut or kernel". Prokaryotes are divided into two domains, Archaea and Bacteria
