Classification
How do we classify organisms? | By their internal and external structures |
What kingdom consists of unicellular organisms without a nucleus? | Moneran Kingdom (bacteria) |
I am multicellular and have chloroplasts to make my own food (photosynthesis). What kingdom do I belong to? | The Plant Kingdom |
I am muticellular and am a heterotroph. What kingdom do I belong to? | The Animal Kingdom |
I love to decompose dead matter and can be very helpful or harmful. What kingdom am I classified into? | The Fungi Kingdom |
I can be a paramecium, amoeba, or a euglena. I am unicellular and have a nucleus. What kingdom do I belong to? | The Protist Kingdom |
Ferns, flowers, trees and moss belong to the kingdom | The Plant Kingdom |
The process that releases oxygen into the atmosphere is | Photosynthesis |
I control the cell and contain genetic information | Nucleus |
Cancer is | Abnormal Cell Division |
The process that takes in oxygen and food to make energy and releases carbon dioxide is called | Respiration |
Why are plant cells different from animal cells? | The contain chloroplast and a cell wall. They can carry out photosynthesis. They have one large vacuole and a green pigment call chlorophyll. |
Scientists utilize this to classify organisms based on their characteristics | Dichotomous Key |
To create a dichotomous key one must | create a question based on an organism's internal or external trait and classify the organism into the appropriate yes or no category |
How would you know if organisms are closely related on an evolutionary tree? | The closer the organisms are on the tree or a branch the more traits they have in common. |
I am mold, yeast and mushrooms, what kingdom do I belong to? | Fungi |
I am helpful and harmful bacteria, what kingdom do I belong to? | Moneran Kingdom |
Organisms that live in or on other organisms and harm them are called | Parasites |
I create my own food by performing photosynthesis and am not a consumer | Autotrophs (plants) |
I cannot create my own food and need to consume plants, animals or both | Heterotrophs (animals) |
I breakdown dead matter and recycle the nutrients back into the environment, what am I classified as? | Decomposer |
A process the produces oxygen and glucose | Photosynthesis |
A process that plant and animal cells perform in their mitochondria, the waste products are excess water and carbon dioxide | Respiration |
