Classification Gr 5
Classification Grade 5 VA Mr. G. 877863 mles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Process | An event, action, or changes that bring about a result - example digestion |
| Photosynthesis (Fotosíntesis) | The conversion of sunlight into chemical energy (sugar) in plants and some protists |
| Reproduce (Reprodúzcase) | To create new off spring |
| Classify (clasificar) | To put into groups according to similarities and differences, traits, characteristics, and properties |
| Germinate (germinacion) | When a dormant seed starts to grow, 30,000 year old seeds have been germinated! |
| Conifer, evergreen (Conífera) | Plants that have needles instead of leaves - stay green all year |
| Structure (Estructura) | Any part of a plant, animal, or object |
| Roots (Raíces) | The structures in a plant that anchor it to the ground and absorb nutrients and water |
| Stem | The plant part that supports the leaves and provides a highway for the movement of water and nutrients |
| Leaves (hojas) | The part of a plant where most photosynthesis occurs |
| Sepal (sépalo) | Just below the flower petals, the sepals protect the flower before it opens |
| Petal (pétalo) | The "pretty" part of a flower - attracts insects |
| Stamen (estambre) | The male part of a flower- easy to remember because of the "men," produces pollen which contains the sperm |
| Pistil (pistilo) | The female part of a flower, generally in the center |
| Ovary (ovario) | The place in a plant where fertilization takes place and the seeds develop |
| Kingdom | The most general or broad category of the classification system developed by Carolus Linnaeus |
| Animalia | One of the 5 kingdoms, these organisms eat to get energy |
| Invertebrate | Organisms without backbones |
| Vertebrate, scientific name chordata | Organisms with backbones |
| Moneran | One of the 5 kingdoms, microscopic, uni-cellular (one cell), bacteria, reproduce asexually |
| Protista | A kingdom of microscopic organisms that can have characteristics of both plants and/or animals- examples amoeba & paramcia |
| Fungi | One of the 5 kingdoms, gathers energy from the item it grows on, is a decomposer, reproduces with spores |
| Examples of the fungi kingdom, that are decomposers, reproduces with spores | Mushroom, Mold, Yeast, Slime Mold |
| Plantae | One of the 5 kingdoms, producers that use Chlorophyll to convert sunlight into chemical energy (sugar) |
| Vascular | Plants that have a "drinking straw," or well developed water transport system, therefore they can grow tall- examples ferns, grasses, trees |
| Non-vascular | Plants that do not have a "drinking straw," or well developed water transport system, therefore they are very low to the ground - examples mosses, liverworts |
| American Dogwood | The state tree of VA, Cornus Florida |
| Pitcher Plant Venus Fly Trap | Carnivorous plants that catch insects as well as get nutrients from the soil |
| Fern (helechos) horsetail (colas de caballo) | A vascular plant that reproduces with spores |
| Moss (musgos) | A non-vascular plant that reproduces with spores |
| Liverwort | A non-vascular plant found in wet environments and reproduces with spores |
| Chlorophyll (Clorofila) | The chemical in plants that converts sunlight to chemical energy (sugars) |
| Pollen (polen) | Formed on the stamen, contains the sperm cells |
| Sperm (Esperma) | Male reproductive cell found in the pollen of plants |
| Dormant (Inactivo) | Like hibernation, inactive, but alive - seeds can be dormant for 30,000 years and still germinate |
| Deciduous | Plants that drop their leaves in the fall |
| Spore (esporangios) | Reproductive cells of ferns, mosses, liverworts, mushrooms, mold, and yeast - reproduction does not require a male and female - the spore is both |
| Unicellular | Made up of only one cell |
| Organism (Organismo) | An individual living thing. |
| Chloroplasts | Cell part that contains Chlorophyll that turns sunlight into food/ energy, mostly located in plant leaves |
| What is the name of the chemical inside of chloroplasts that turn light into energy? | Chlorophyll |
| Response | The ability to react to changes in surroundings |
| Respiration | Converting stored food (sugars) into energy |
| What is a species? (especie) | The narrowest group in the classification system of living things |
| Describe what harmful fungi can do to you? | They can cause diseases or allergies, examples athlete's foot |
| What are the 5 types of vertebrates? (vertrados) | Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals |
| Name 2 types of invertebrates (invertrados) | Sponges, anthropods |
| What helpful fungi can do for you and the world? | They can be used to make medicine, penicillin comes from bread mold! |
| Why do scientists classify living things? | Scientists classify living things to help them understand how they might be related and to make it easier to study them. |
| How do scientists classify living things? | Scientists classify living things by looking at similarities and differences in functions and structures. |
| The study of classification is called what? | Taxonomy |
| What are the seven levels of in which all living things are classified? | Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| Can two organisms in the same family be in different kingdoms? | No Copyright © 2012 S Gissendanner Free for personal and classroom use |
