Question
Answer
Kingdom Monera   (bacteria) – prokaryotes that reproduce Asexually; circular DNA (transcription and translation occur in same place at same time); cell wall made ofpeptidoglycan which contains D-alanine (animal AA have L-configuration**) ;  
🗑
Gram-positive   in monera kingdom- have thick peptidoglycan;  
🗑
Gram-negative   in monera kingdom- have thin peptidoglycan but have additional outer layer;  
🗑
three mechanisms for acquiring new genetic material   transduction(use of lysogenic phage). Transformation, Conjugation (once cell copies DNA => transferred through bridge/ F+ is male)  
🗑
Cyanobacteria   called blue-green algae (NOT same algae from protista); cell wall and have photosynthetic pigments; NO flagella, NO nucleus, NO mito  
🗑
Bacteria, shapes   single loop of DNA; can be round (cocci), rods (bacilli), or spiral (spirilla)  
🗑
Kingdom Protista   unicellular eukaryotes; membrane bound nucleus and organelles  ‑Protozoa – rhizopods (amoebas) move w/ pseudopods; cilliophors move w/ cilia; ex. Paramecium, green algae, Volvox ‑Algae – photosynthetic; ex phytoplankton and euglena (move w/ flagellum)  
🗑
Kingdom Fungi   heterotrophs; may be saprophytic or parasitic; ex yeast, lichen, mushrooms; reproduce sexually (haploid adults) or asexually (spore formation, budding, fragmentation)  
🗑
hyphae   branching filament of fungi, most are divided by septa (perforated w/ holes large enough for organelles), collectively known as mycelium  
🗑
Fungi Classes   zygomycetes (ex. bread mold), basidiomycetes (ex. mushrooms),ascomycetes (ex. sac fungi)  
🗑
Kingdom Plantae   photosynthetic autotrophs; differentiation of tissues (photosynthetic, supportive, vascular, absorptive); alternation of generations (reproduction)  
🗑
Division Bryophyta   simple plants; must live in moist places; gametophyte is dominant; sporophyte develops into archegonium; NO xylem  
🗑
Mosses   division bryophyta primitive; gametophyte and sporophyte grow together  
🗑
Liverworts   division bryophyta leaf-like plant; consists of lower part (rhizoids), middle part (food storage), upper part (photosynthetic)  
🗑
Division Tracheophyta   vascular plants, radial symmetry; grow to great heights; sporophyte dominant  
🗑
Psilophytes   division tracheophyta- most primitive; contain rhizoids instead of roots  
🗑
Lycophyta   division tracheophyta  -club mosses; roots, non-woody  
🗑
Sphenophytes   division tracheophyta - horsetail; roots, hollow-jointed stems  
🗑
Pterophyta   division tracheophyta -fern; evolved from psilopsids, many vascular bundles; sperm are flagellated; grow from rhizome; sporangium is under leaves  
🗑
Division Coniferophyta   gymnosperms, megaspores and microspores; specialized cambium tissue allows for secondary growth; ex:Cycads, pines, spruce, firs – (most are evergreens /nondeciduous  
🗑
gymnosperms   can grow in diameter as well as length  
🗑
megaspores   large female cones  
🗑
microspores   small male cones  
🗑
Division Anthophyta   angiosperms; covered seeds; most abundant of all plants  
🗑
Dicotyledons   net veined leaves  
🗑
Monocotyledons   leaves w/ parallel veins  
🗑
Kingdom Animalia   multicellular, motile, heterotrophic organisms w/ differentiated tissues; most have bilateral symmetry; all employ some form of locomotion  
🗑
Porifera   sponges; two layers of cells; have pores; sessile  
🗑
Cnidarians   jellyfish, coral, hydra; digestive sac sealed at one end; net nerves; two layers of cells (ectoderm/ endoderm); RADIALLY symmetrical  
🗑
cnidoblasts   specialized cells located in the tentacles and bodywalls of coloenterates; interior of cnidoblasts filled with stinging cells (nematocysts)  
🗑
Platyhelminthes   flat worm; bilaterally symmetrical; 3 layers of cells (solid mesoderm); NO circulatory system; nervous system consists of eyes, anterior brain ganglion & longitudinal nerve cords  
🗑
Nematoda   round worms; long digestive tubes & anus; solid mesoderm; NO circulartory system; nerve cords and nerve ring  
🗑
Annelida   earthworms; possess coelom (true body cavity – in mesoderm); well defined systems including nervous, circulatory, and excretory  
🗑
Mollusca   clams; softbodied & posses mantles which secrete calcareous (calcium carbonate); breathe by gills; chambered hearts; nerve chords  
🗑
Class Gastropoda   largest Molluscan class; ex. slugs & snails; characterized by single shell  
🗑
Class Cephalopoda   octopus and squid  
🗑
Arthropoda   insects, spiders, crustaceans (lobster); jointed appendages, chitinous exoskeleton, and open circulatory  
🗑
Echinoderms   starfish; RADIALLY symmetrical; regeneration; evolutionary evidence suggesting a link b/w echinoderms and chordates  
🗑
Chordates   notochord; lancelets & tunicates & amphoxius (not vertebrates because retain notochord)  
🗑
Fish characteristics   possess 2 chambered heart; gills; external fertilization  
🗑
Jawless fish   sucking mouth; retain notochord; primitive (Agnatha)  
🗑
Cartilaginous fish   jaws and teeth; reduced notochord; ex shark (chondrichthys)  
🗑
Bony fish   most prevalent; lack notochord; ex trout (Osteichthys)  
🗑
Amphibia   tadpole; has lungs; 3 chambered heart; external fertilization; eggs are laid in water w/ jelly like secretion  
🗑
Reptiles   lungs; internal fertilization; cold blooded  
🗑
Birds   warm blooded; 4 chambered heart - long Loop of Henle = concentrated urine = uric crystals  
🗑
Mammals   warm blooded; feed offspring w/ milk from mammary glands  
🗑
