| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Prokayotes | no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, first cell on the planet ie. less complex structurally, ex. bacteria |
| Eukaryotes | has a nucleus that houses DNA, has many membrane bound organelles, ex. animals plants and fungi |
| Signs of life | Metabolism composed of cells homeostasis Respond to stimuli growth and reproduction Populations evolve (individuals can not) Contain both DNA and RNA |
| Homeostasis | body maintains a relatively constant environment such as blood pressure, temperature, pH etc… |
| Hierarchy of living things | Did King Philip Come over From Greece Swimming? Domain -- Kingdom -- Phylum -- Class -- Order -- Genus -- Species |
| Binomial nomenclature | universal structure for identifying living things. (Genus species) Genus is always Capitalised and entire ting is italisied or underlined. |
| domains | Bacteria = bacteria Archaea = Archaea Eukarya = Protista, Plantea, Fungi, Animalia |
| 4 Kingdoms of the domain Eukarya | Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia |
| Protista | Mosty single-celled, some are autotrophs and some are hetertrophs, most do not have cell walls |
| Fungi | Multicellular, saprobes (heterotrophs that decompose things for nutrition) |
| Plantae | Multicellular, autotrophs, have cell walls |
| Animalia | Multicellular, no cell walls |
| Autotrophs | Make their own food usually using sunlight |
| Heterotrophs | Need to eat others (plants or other animals to get nutrition) |
| Bacteria (Domain) | Single celled, prokayotic,only a few cause disease (most are harmless or even beneficial) |
| Archaea (Domain) | Single celled, Prokayotic,sometimes live in extreme enviroments (not harmful can live in or on us) |
| Natural selection requirments | 1. Variation 2. Inheritance 3. High rate of population growth 4. Differential survival and reproduction |
| Selective Pressures | Environmental factors the allows individuals with particular traits to survive and reproduce more in a population |
