| Question | Answer |
|---|---|

| why do biologists NOT use local names for organisms? | b/c they are different throughout the world |
| what is the first part of a scientific name called? | genus |
| why is an organism classified in a particular genus? | b/c it's similar in structure to organisms in that genus. |
| what is the second part of a scientific name called? | species |

| How are plants different from animals? | photosynthesis |
| What are some examples of fungi? | yeast, molds, mushrooms |

| Zoology | The study of Animals |
| Taxonomy | the study of classification (grouping) |

| Ecology | the study of the relationship of organisms to their environment |
| Herpetology | the study of reptiles |
| Aristotle | Called the father of zoology |
| Taxonomy consists of two major aspects | Classification and Bi-Nomial Nomenclature |
| Classification- | deals with arranging or grouping organisms into specific categories |
| Bi-Nomial Nomenclature | deals with the scientific naming of each organism classified |
| Monera - | single celled (microscopic) with no Nucleus |
| Protista - | Single celled (microscopic ) with a nucleus |
| Fungi - | plant-like, many celled, but have no chlorophyll for photosynthesis |
| Plant - | many celled, have leaves, stems, roots and chlorophyll |
| Animal - | many celled, most move about, and eat other plants and animals |
| My Pet Frog Pees Alot! stands for - | Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plant, Animal |
| Animal Kingdom can be divided into 2 major groups - | Vertibrates and invertibrates |
