Taxonomy and Ecology
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Primary Succession | Begins in area with BARE GROUND. No living things formed yet. |
| Secondary Succession | Begins after existing ecosystem has been disturbed, not destroyed. |
| Taxonomy | System that names different species. (Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.) |
| Eubacteria | Type: Prokaryote Structure: Cells walls WITH peptidoglycan #: Unicellular Mode: Autotroph |
| Archaebacteria | Type: Prokaryote Structures: Cell walls WITHOUT peptidoglycan #: Unicellular Mode: Autotroph or Heterotroph |
| Protista | Type: Eukaryote Structures: Cell walls of cellulose in some; some have chloroplasts #: Most unicellular; some colonial; some multicellular Mode: Autotroph or Heterotroph |
| Fungi | Type: Eukaryote Structures: Cell walls of chitin #: Most multicellular; some unicellular Mode: Heterotroph |
| Plantae | Type: Eukaryote Structures: Cell walls of cellulose; chloroplasts #: Multicellular Mode: Autotroph |
| Animalia | Type: Eukaryote Structures: No cell walls or chloroplasts #: Multicellular Mode: Heterotroph |
| Viruses | Segments of DNA and RNA contained in a capsid. Smaller than prokaryotes and can only be seen through an electron microscope. |
| Amoebas | Shapeless protists; live in hypotonic environments |
| Flagellates | Protozoans that move by propelling their flagella |
| Ciliates | Protozoans use cilia to move by beating back and forth |
| Sporozoans | Parasitic protozoans that produce spores |
| Mycelium | Interwoven map underneath fungi |
| Hyphae | Vegetative "roots" of fungi; constructed of tiny filaments |
| Euglenoids | Unicellular, aquatic protists that have both animal and plant like characteristics |
| Diatoms | Protists that has unique shape, decorated with grooves and spores |
| Dinoflagellates | Gonyaulax catenella (red tide) |
| Bryophytes | Nonvascular plants; they have no roots (ex. moss) |
| Pteridophytes | Seedless vascular plants; reproduce through spore droppings (ex. ferns) |
| Gymnosperms | Certain vascular plants that contain seeds; naked seeds not enclosed in a sealed container (ex. pinecones) |
| Angiosperms | Certain vascular plants that contain seeds; produce seeds in sealed structure (ex. any fruit or flower) |
| Stamen | "male" parts of a flower |
| Pistil | "female" parts of a flower |
| Anther | produces pollen |
| Filament | supports anther |
| Petals | attracts birds and insects to flower |
| Sepals | protects flower before it opens |
| Receptacle | base of flower |
| Stem | transports water and food |
| Stigma | "sticky stigma" catches pollen for reproduction |
| Style | passage for pollen tube |
| Ovary | becomes the fruit |
| Transformation | Bacterium takes of foreign DNA from its surroundings (bacteria reproduction) |
| Transduction | viruses carry bacterial genes from one bacterium to another (bacteria reproduction) |
| Conjugation | two temporarily joined bacteria directly transfer genetic material (bacteria reproduction) |
| Lytic Cycle | Adsorption, penetration, replication, maturation, release (viral reproduction) |
| Lysogenic Cycle | Adsorption, penetration, integration, replication, induction, synthesis, assembly, release (viral reproduction) |
| Protozoans | Animal-like protists |
