Chp. 1 Bio
Exploring Life
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ecosystem | producers, consumers, decomposers. |
| Producers | Covert solar energy into a form their cell can use(chemical energy). plants, photosyntheric bacteria and protists do this by photosynthesis. |
| Consumers | Depend on energy from the producers through cellular respiration. During every transfer of chemical energy, some is lost as heat. animals |
| Decomposers | such as fungi, bacteria, worms, feed on dead organisms. releasing energy that may be used by other organisms. |
| 2 main kinds of cells | Prokaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Cell |
| Prokaryotic cells | are the simplest and smallest cells. They lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Ex. Bacteria, archea. |
| Eukaryotic cells | are more complex. they have a nucleus containing DNA and membrane bound organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. EX. plants, animals, fungi. |
| Taxonomy | is the branch of bio that names and classifies species and organizes them into a hierarchy of broader groups. 3 domains |
| 3 Domains | Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya |
| Discovery science | involves observation and analysis of data |
| Hypothesis-based science | involves why questions. Observation/question/hypothesis/prediction/test |
| Hypothesis | a possible answer(or educated guess) to the question. |
| Archaea | contains the Archaebacteria, the ancestral bacteria that live in extreme environments. |
| Bacteria | contains the Eubacteria, E Coli. 1) all bacteria are single-celled organims. 2)all bacteria are prokaryotic - they do not have a nucleus or other subcellular structures. |
| Eukarya | all the other organism, Humans. Eukaryotic cells. 4 kingdoms in the cell Kingdom Protista/Kingdom Fungi/Kingdom Plantae/Kingdom Animalia |
| Kingdom Protista | (Apart of Eukarya domain)- diverse group. eg. seaweed, algea, pond life |
| Kingdom Fungi | (apart of Eukarya domain) - single or multicellular decomposing eg. mushrooms, yeast, molds |
| Kingdom Plantea | (Apart of Eukarya domain) - multicellular producers. |
| Kingdom Animalia | (Apart of Eukarya domain) - Multicellular consumers |
