QuestionAnswer
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
