Domains/Kingdoms/Ph
Term | Definition |
---|---|
3 Domains | Eukarya, Bacteria, Archaea |
Eukarya | all organisms that are eukaryotic (have a nucleus in their cells) |
Bacteria | unicellular organisms that are prokaryotic (do not have a nucleus in the cell) and live in “normal” environments |
Archaea | unicellular organisms that are prokaryotic and live in extremely harsh environments. |
4 Kingdoms in Eukarya | Protista, fungi, plant, animals |
Protista | organisms that can be plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like |
Fungi | organisms that are consumers and cannot move |
plant | multicellular organisms that are producers and cannot move |
animal | multicellular organisms that are consumers and can move at some point in their life. |
6 Phyla in the animal kingdom | Cnidarian, Annelid, Mollusks, Echinoderms, Arthropods, Chordates |
Cnidarian | live in the sea, have sack-shaped bodies, radial symmetry, and tentacles |
Annelid | cylindrical, segmented bodies with bilateral symmetry |
Mollusks | soft body, muscular foot, bilateral symmetry, may have a shell |
Echinoderms | spiny or leathery skin over an endoskeleton, radial symmetry |
Arthropods | segmented body with a hard exoskeleton and pairs of jointed legs |
Chordates | internal skeleton, body systems, paired appendages, backbone with spinal cord |
4 Divisions in the plant kingdom | Mosses, Ferns, Conifers, Flowering plants |
Mosses | simple tissues (no organs or systems), reproduce by spores, grow in damp places |
Ferns | have tissues, organs, and systems, underground stems, reproduce by spores |
Conifers | needle-like leaves, reproduce by seeds in cones, evergreen, have tissues, organs, and systems |
Flowering | reproduce by flowers and seeds which grow inside fruit, have tissues, organs, and systems. |
