| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| who is considered the "father of taxonomy" | Carl Linnaeus |
| how in everyday life do we use classification | everyday things like putting dishes away and organizing school books. |
| Why is it important to have genus and species names for organisms | so everyone is on the same page. even when you are in different parts of the world. |
| What are the seven classification categories | -kingdom -phylum -class -order -family -genus -species |
| is kingdom or species more specific in regard to organisms? | species |
| Organisms are classified based on five specifications.What are they... | 1.Structural Info-Arms, legs, fins(anatomy) 2.Biochemical Info- DNA(Bacteria: no nucleus) 3.Cytological Info- Cell Structure and chromosome number( plants bacteria, fungi) 4.Embrological Info- simlar patterns of development 5.Behavioral Info-matting |
| define heterotrophic and phototrophic | Heterotrophic: depends on other organisms for food Pototrophic: can make their own food |
| Define prokaryote | Lacks a nucleus |
| define eukaryote | has a nucleus |
| which kingdom does algae belong to? | protista |
| List all major characteristics of the 6 Vertebrate classes | They all posses a backbone and are all in the kingdom animala |
| What class contains species that go through metamorphosis? | Amphibia |
| Which kingdoms contain unicellular organisms? | archaebacteria, eubacteria and protista |
| What are the three shapes of bacteria? give examples of each | round (strep), Rod (TB and ecoli), Spiral (leptosporosis) |
| Is ringworm a worm? | nope, a fungus |
| Which kingdom contains organisms that can be both animal and plant like? | protista |
| What are two unique qualities of archaebacteria? give an example | usually live in hostile environments (volcanos, hot springs) and many can grow without oxygen. thermoplasma |
| Define taxonomy | branch of biology that deals with classification and naming of living things. |
| Basic unit of all living things | cells |
| are mammalian cells more likely to have fagella or cilia? | cilia |
| this organelle is considered the control center of the cell | nucleus |
| what are the three parts that make up the cytoskeleton? | Microtubeals, Microfiliments and Microfibers |
| Contains contractile proteins actin and myosin | Microfilaments |
| Known as the fed ex of the cell and produces lysosomes | Golgi apparatus |
| Responsible for detoxification and liver and kidney cell contain a high number of this organelle | peroxisomes |
| the liquid portion of mitochondria | matrix |
| this contains the liquid portion of the cell as well as alll the organelles | cytoplasm |
| Coined the term "cell" | Robert Hook |
| This structure is made up of a phospholipid bilayer containing hydrophilic heads and hydrophhopic tails. | cell membrane |
| Helps cells move through fluids and occcurs singly | fagella |
| this act as the rail road tracks of the cell that enables organelles to travel | microtubeals |
| the liquid portion of the cell | cytosol |
| responsible of synthesizing lipids | smooth er |
| contains ribosomes and is responsible for productin of proteins | |
