What are the 7 classification system? 1. Kingdom 2. Phylum 3. Class 4. Order 5. Family 6. Genus 7. Species
Describe Kingdom? It is broadest level, contains most of organisms, members share few characteristics.
Describe Phylum? Next major taxonomic group. Within the Kingdoms, organisms are divided into phyla by general characteristics. EX. Animal Kingdom, animals with backbones (Vertebrates) are placed in separate phyulum from animals without backbones.
Describe Class? Organisms in phylum are divided into class. EX. birds, mammals and fish all go in their own classes. Among plants, all flowering plants comprise the ANGIOSPERM CLASS. all CONIFERS such as pines and spruces comprise CONIFER CLASS.
Describe Family ? Families divided further from Class, same class by similar characteristics.
Describe Genus? Two or more species that share unique body structures or other characteristics are closely related enough to be placed in a single genus. Genus may include single species.
Describe Species? A species is the most specific level, so it contains the fewest types of organisms. Same species with very similar characteristics.
Describe Kingdom Animalia? This kingdom includes all animals
Describe Phylum Chordata? All vertebrate animals belong to the phylum Chordata.
Describe Class Mammalia? All mammals belong to this class
Describe Order Carnivora? All mammals that eat meat belong jto the order carnivora

Species leo Just a lion
Which kingdom humans belong to? Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, class mammalia, the order primata, the family Hominidae, The genus Homo, Species Sapiens.
What are the FIVE Kingdoms? 1.Animals 2.Plants 3.Monerans 4.Protists 5.Fungi
Explain Animal Kingdom One of two largest kingdom, no cell wall,chlorophyll,photosynthesis. BUT can move, many cells, 1,000,000 species
Explain Plant Kingdom one of two largest kingdom. Can't move, no nervous or sensory system (Execpt Venus Flytrap)

What does Digestive system do? Breaks down food into smaller substance
What does Musculoskeletal system do? Bones support the body muscles and organs
What does respiratory system do? Inhales air, uses t he oxygen in the air to release energy and exhales the carbon dioxide.
What are three cell structures? 1. Nucleus 2. Cytoplasm 3. Cell membrane (plasma membrane)
Explain cell structure, Nucleus controls cellular activity, like brain behind the cell such as DNA
Explain Cell structure, Cytoplasm gel-like substance, composed mostly of water inside the cell membrane and outside the nucleus. Contains many chemicals that carry out the life processes in the cell.
Explain Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane) This thin membrane holds the cell together, protecting the nucleus and cytoplasm
_____ Cell have a firm cell wall that supports and protects the cell. _____ cell don't have such structure. Plant, Animal
____Cell have larger vacuoles (storage areas) than those found in ____ cells Plant Cell, Animal Cell
____ Cells contain centrioles (Cylindrical structures involved in cell division). Most ____ cell and ____ cell don't. Animal, Plant, Fungi
_____Cells have _________which aren't found in ____ Cells. Animal Cells, Lysosomes(sacs of enzymes), plant
Describe 10 plant cellular structures 1.Chloroplasts 2.Cell Wall 3.Nucleus 4.Chromatin 5.Nucleoplasm 6.Ribosome 7.Cytoplasm 8.Mitochondria 9.Cell membrane 10.Vacuole
what is Chloroplast? Contains Chlorophyll, produces food
What is Cell Wall? Protects the cell
What is Nucleus? The "Brain" of the cell
What is Chromatin? Thin Fibers containing genes

What is Metabolism? Chemical processes within a cell that are necessary for life to be maintained
What is Osmosis? Movement of water through the cell membrane
What is Phagocytosis? Acquisition of particles of material from outside of the cell; it's accomplished by surrounding the particles and passing them t hrough the cell membrane
