| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Animal kingdom are divided into these 2 groups: | Vertebrates & Invertebrates |
| Animals without skeleton or backbone | Invertebrates |
| Animals with a skeleton or backbone | Vertebrates |
| 5 Groups of Vertebrates | Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Mammals |
| Characteristics of Fish | Aquatic, cold-blooded, covered with wet and slimy scales, streamlined body for easy movement through water, fins for balance and to control movement, gills for breathing, tetrapods, external fertilization |
| Characteristics of Amphibians | cold-blooded, moist, scaleless skin, external fertilization, larvae use gills while adults use lungs for breathing |
| When limbs are present | tetrapods |
| Characteristics of Reptiles | Cold-blooded, body covered with dry hard scales, live on land, breathe with lungs, internal fertilization, lay shelled eggs |
| Characteristics of Birds | Warm-blooded, feathered and wings, beak for feeding, lungs for breathing, internal fertilization, lay shelled eggs |
| Characteristics of Mammals | Warm-blooded, hair on skin, mammary glands on females for producing milk, lungs for breathing, internal fertilization, embryos develop inside mother's womb |
| Plants are divided into these groups: | Non-flowering plants and Flowering plants |
| 4 Non-Flowering Plant Groups | Algae, Moss, Ferns, Gymnosperms |
| Characteristics of Algae | aquatic, no root, stem or leaf, contains chlorophyll, may be unicellular or multicellular |
| Chlorophyll | photosynthetic pigment or coloring |
| Characteristics of Moss | simple leaves and stems, no roots, reproduces by spres, no vascular tissue, found in damp area |
| Characteristics of Ferns | Have true roots, stems, leaves, and vascular tissue, Reproduce by spores, live in damp places |
| Characteristics of Gymnosperms | Reproduce by producing naked seeds, needle shaped leaves to reduce water loss |
| When seeds devlop in cones, not enclosed by fruit | Naked seed |
| Flowering Plants | Angiosperm |
| Characteristics of Angiosperm | With flowers for reproduction, seeds are produced inside matured ovary |
| 2 Groups of Flowering plants | Dicotyledons and Monocotyledons |
| two cotyledons, netted leaf venation, tap root system | Dicotyledons |
| One cotyledon, parallel leaf venation, fibrous root system | Monocotyledons |
