Classification
Intro to the Topic of Classification
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define classification | Classification is the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities |
| Who is Carolus Linnaeus? What naming system did he invent? | a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician who formalized binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy" or classification |
| This is referred to as the study of classification | Taxonomy |
| In (Prokaryotes/Eukaryotes) dna floats in the cytoplasm | Prokaryotes. In Prokaryotes, the dna floats in the cytoplasm |
| In (Eukaryotes/Prokaryotes) the organelles are enclosed in the membrane and the DNA is enclosed in the nucleus | Eukaryotes |
| Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are (Prokaryotic/Eukaryotic), while plants, fungi ,animals and protists are (Prokaryotic/Eukaryotic) | Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are Prokaryotic, while plants, fungi, animals and protists are Eukaryotic. |
| (Prokaryotes/Eukaryotes) are only unicellular organisms | Prokaryotes are only unicellular orgnanisms |
| (Prokaryotes/Eukaryotes) can be both multicellular or unicellular organisms | Eukaryotes can be both multicellular or unicellular organisms |
| What are the 5 kingdoms of life | Animalia, plantae, fungi, protista, monera |
| List the 5 kingdoms of life in order of their number of species (ascending) | Monera - 10,000. Protists - 250,000. Fungi - 100, 000. Plantae - 250, 000. Animalia - 1,000, 000. |
| What are autotrophs? | These are organisms that store chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules that they build themselves. Most autotrophs make their "food" through photosynthesis using the energy of the sun |
| What are heterotrophs? | These are organisms that cannot produce their own food so must therefore absorb it |
| This is a type of heterotrophic nutrition, characterized by the internalization (ingestion) and internal processing of gaseous, liquid, or solid food particles | Holozoic nutrition |
| ________________ are living organisms that feed on dead/decaying organisms. | Saprophytes |
| List the 7 characteristics of life | growth and development, obtaining and using energy, homeostasis, reproduction, complex organization, responding to the environment, evolution respiration |
| What are the 7 levels of classification | Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| What is binomial nomenclature? | The system of nomenclature in which two terms ae used to denote a species of living organism, the first one indicating the genus and the second, the specific epithet |
| True or False? - The scientific name for organisms will vary | False. the scientific name for an organism will be the same anywhere, no mater what |
