Bot-Classification
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Classification | Arranging organisms into groups based on their phylogenetic relationships |
| Nomenclature | applying names to the groups recognized in classification |
| Biological Classification | Based on the evolutionary relationships that exist among groups of organisms |
| Kingdoms | Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista (Eukarya), Eubacteria (bacteria), Archaebacteria (Archaea) |
| Phylogeny | Evolutionary history of a group of organisms |
| Cladistic Analysis | techniques for inferring evolutionary history by studying the characteristics of a group. |
| Species | basic unit of classification. Morphological- groups of organisms that look alike, Biological-groups of potentially breeding organisms, Phylogenetic-groups of organisms that are similar because they have a common ancestor. |
| Carolous Linnaeus | Swedish botanist in 1750; created the widely adopted system of classification used today. |
| DKPCOFGS | Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| Methods of Plant ID | Expert Determination, Comparison Methods-compare plant with pictures or other plants, Taxonomic keys- list of properties for id based on the process of elimination. |
| Binomial Nomenclature | Generic name- In italics, capitalized and is the name of genus. Specific epithet- also in italics, lowercase, and describes the specific species. Underlined when handwritten. |
| Monocots | Embryo with one cotyledon, pollen with 1 pore, flower parts in multiples of 3, major leaf veins parallel, stem vascular bundles scattered, roots are adventitious, and secondary growth is absent. |
| Dicots | Embryo with 2 cotyledons, pollen with 3 pores, flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5, major leaf veins reticulated, stem vascular bundles in a ring, roots are developed from radicle, and secondary growth is present. |
| Heterotrophic | Can't synthesize it's own food. Relies on organic substances. |
| Autotrophic | Creates its own food through photosynthesis. |
