Question
Answer
Branch of biology concerned with identifying, describing, and naming organisms.   Taxonomy  
🗑
The scientific name of an organism, the first part of which designates the genus and the second part of which designates the specific epithet.   Binomial nomenclature  
🗑
Why are the scientific names in Latin?   The natural groups classification reflects the evolutionary history of organisms and the development of DNA sequencing helped create more accurate classifications.  
🗑
List the classification Hierarchy   Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species  
🗑
Which is the most inclusive and least inclusive of the classification hierarchy?   Most Inclusive: Domain Least Inclusive: Species  
🗑
List the 3 domains and the four kingdoms in one of the domains.   Domains: Bacteria Archeae Eukarya: Plant Animal Protists Fungi  
🗑
Traits that are found in a common ancestor and its descendants.   Ancestral traits  
🗑
Structural, physiological, or behavioral trait that is present in a specific lineage and is not present in the common ancestor for several related lineages.   Derived traits  
🗑
A diagram that indicates common ancestors and lines of descent among a group of organisms   Phylogenetic tree  
🗑
A structure that is similar in different types of organisms because these organisms are from a common ancestor.   Homologous structure  
🗑
Structure that has a similar function in separate lineages but differs in anatomy and ancestry.   Analogous structure  
🗑
What three traits are used to categorize a virus?   Capsid: outer layer some enveloped by membrane; others naked Nucleic acid pore: DNA or RNA Shape: polyhedral, helical, spherical  
🗑
What is an obligate intercellular parasite?   Viruses, which cannot replicate outside a living cell  
🗑
What is a bacteriophage?   Viruses that infect bacterial cells  
🗑
The virus takes over the operation of the bacterium immediately upon entering it and subsequently destroys the bacterium.   Lytic cycle  
🗑
The virus incorporates its DNA into that of a bacterium; occurs preliminary to the lytic cycle   Lysogenic cycle  
🗑
What are the five stages of the lytic cycle?   1. Attachment 2. Penetration 3. Biosynthesis 4. Maturation 5. Release  
🗑
Organism that lacks a membrane bound nucleus and the membranous organelles typical of eukaryotes. Movement by some type of flagella   Prokaryote  
🗑
Extrachromosomal ring of accessory DNA in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.   Plasmid  
🗑
How do bacteria replicate?   Binary fission  
🗑
Three methods of genetic recombination   1. Conjugation 2. Transformation 3. Transduction  
🗑
Three shapes of bacteria   Spirillum (spiral shaped) Bacilli (rod-shaped) Cocci (spherical)  
🗑
Decomposers that break down organic matter from dead organisms   Saprotroph  
🗑
What is another term for a parasite that causes a disease?   Pathogen  
🗑
What type of bacteria is photoautotrophic?   Cyanobacteria  
🗑
Three types of living conditions of archaea (extremophiles)   1. Methanogens (obligate anaerobes) found in swamps, marshes, intestinal tracts 2. Halophiles: require high salt concentrations 3. Thermoacidophiles: thrive in extremely hot, acidic environments (hot springs, geysers, thermal vents, and volcanoes.  
🗑
What type of green algae uses conjugation tubes?   Spirogyra  
🗑
Used to make agar, capsules for vitamins, anti drying agent for baked goods, jellies, and desserts to set rapidly.   Red algae  
🗑
Used filtering agents, sound proofing materials, and polishing abrasives such as those found in silver polish and toothpaste.   Diatoms  
🗑
"Red tide". Causes massive fish kills, releases powerful neurotoxin (saxitoxin), can cause shellfish poisoning (respiratory paralysis)   Overgrowth of dinoflagellates  
🗑
Micro-nucleus is used for in ciliates (paramecium)?   Reproduction  
🗑
Macro-nucleus is used for in ciliates (paramecium)?   Metabolism  
🗑
What organism is responsible for Malaria?   Plasmodium  
🗑
What organism is responsible for Toxoplasmosis?   Toxoplasma (apicomplexan)  
🗑
What organism is responsible for Vaginitis?   Parabasalids  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
