Classification Test
Science test, and could be very hard.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Domain | -The highest rank of organisms in a biological taxonomy -It divides all cellular life form into three groups. Archaea Bacteria Eukarya |
| Domain - Archaea | -Unicellular -Prokaryotes – no nuclear membrane -Found in extreme environments (Salty water Volcanic hot springs) -Kingdom: Archaebacteria -3 types...heat loving, salt loving, methane making |
| Domain - Bacteria | -Found everywhere -Unicellular -Prokaryotes – no nucleus Example: Streptococcus (the bacteria that causes strep throat) -Kingdom: Eubacteria |
| Domain - Eukarya | -Found everywhere -Most of the world’s living things. -Eukaryotes – cell has a nucleus Example: Humans, a tree Kingdom: Protista, Fungi, Animalia and Plantae |
| Kingdom Eubacteria | -True bacteria -Prokaryotic -Unicellular -Autotrophs and Heterotroph -Spherical or rod-shaped -Found in soil, rocks, oceans, snow and living organisms |
| Kingdom Archaeabacteria | -Differs from other bacteria -Prokaryotic -Unicellular -Autotroph and Heterotroph -Found in hydrothermal vents |
| Kingdom - Protista | -Cannot be classified as animal, plant or fungus. -Eukaryotes -Most are unicellular -Autotroph and Heterotroph Ex: (A)slime mold, (B)protozoa, (C)primitive algae |
| Kingdom - Fungi | -Multicellular -Eukaryotes -Nongreen -Reproduce with spores -All heterotrophs – consumers--break down substances and absorb the nutrients -Do not move Ex: yeast (A), mushrooms (B), ringworm (C) |
| Kingdom - Plantae | -Multicellular -Eukaryotes -Most live on land -Autotrophs – producer, makes its own food -Provides food for heterotrophs. |
| Kingdom - Animalia | -Multicellular -Eukaryotes -Live everywhere -Can move -Respond to their environment -Heterotrophs - consumers |
| mnemonics for taxonomic hierarchy | Dear King Phillip Come Over For Good Spaghetti`. |
| Annelids | Bilateral symmetry Segmented bodies Live in moist areas Ex: Leaches and worms |
| Chordates | Backbone Bilateral symmetry Have a digestive, circulatory and nervous system Ex: humans, fish |
| Arthropods | Segmented body Exoskeleton Invertebrate Jointed Appendages Ex: centipedes, spiders, crustaceans |
| Echinoderm | Radial symmetry--mirror image Invertebrate Live in the ocean Some have spiny skin Ex: sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumber |
| Cnidaria | Radial symmetry Aquatic organisms Most have tentacles Some have stinging cells Only 1 digestive opening No internal organs Ex: Jellyfish |
| Molluscs | Most have a shell Invertebrate Muscular foot and/or tentacles Soft bodies Not segmented Ex: octopus, snails |
| List the 8 levels of classification in the correct order below. The largest group should be on top. | Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species |
| What are the names of the 3 domains? | Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. |
| What are the types of cells the 3 domains are? | Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
| What kingdoms are Archaea-Prokaryotes? | Archaebacteria |
| What kingdoms are Bacteria-Prokaryotes? | Eubacteria |
| What kingdoms are Eukaryote-Eukaryotes? | Protista Fungi Animalia Plantae |
| How do animals, Plant, Protist, and Fungi get their food? | Heterotroph, photosynthesis Autotroph, Heterotroph autotroph, and Heterotroph. |
| Which kingdom is has mostly unicellular cells? | Protists. |
| How does fungi reproduce? | With spores. |
| Which organisms belong in the phylum mollusca? | Organisms with shells, snails, clams. |
| Which organisms belong in the phylum Cnidaria? | Jelly like animals, jellyfish |
| Which organisms belong in the phylum Chordates? | Me, fish, birds. Organisms that can move, and are vertebrates. |
| What does classify mean? | To sort something due to its characteristics. To simplify something. |
| What is another name for “scientific name”? | Binomial nomenclature |
| What is one difference between plants and animals? | Plants can make there own food (autotroph). Animals have to intake food (heterotroph). |
| What does Autotroph mean? | Autotroph: Make their own food. |
| What does Heterotroph mean? | Heterotroph: Get food from outside world. Breakdown food, and also take in nutrients. |
| How do scientists classify organisms? | They use the Taxonomic hierarchy. |
| What does vertebrate mean? | Definition: It means backbone and/or spine. |
| Name a vertebrate animal and an invertebrate animal. | Snail, and birds. |
| Plants are divided into what instead of phyla | Division, Non vascular and Vascular (Xylem and Phloem) |
| Non Vascular characteristics | No true roots, stems or leaves Reproduce with spores Found in moist shady areas Example: Moss |
| Vascular Plants broken into... | Seed Plants or seedless plants |
| Seedless Plants | Vascular tissue No seeds...use spores to reproduce Have stems, roots, and leaves Grow in moist shady areas Example: Ferns |
| Seed Plants | Broken down into Gymnosperms and Angiosperms |
| Gymnosperm Plants | Have exposed seeds |
| Angiosperms Plants | Seeds are in fruit |
| Gymnosperms--conifer trees Characteristics | Needle like leaves Produce cones |
| Angiosperms--fruit trees or plants Characteristics | Produce flowers Form a fruit to protect the seed |
