Term
Definition
Evolutionary tree's _____ show which groups are more primitive or advanced.   Do not  
🗑
Evolutionary trees   reveal the evolutionary history of species and the sequence of speciation events that give rise to them.  
🗑
Clade   a group of organisms believed to have evolved from a common ancestor.  
🗑
Sister Taxa   Closest relatives of another given unit in an evolutionary tree.  
🗑
Basal Taxon   Directly connected to ancestral lineage, oldest species.  
🗑
Branch point   Where lineages diverge.  
🗑
Polytomy   An unresolved pattern of divergence.  
🗑
3 domains of life   Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya.  
🗑
Domain Archaea   Lack membrane bound organelles, don't have a real nucleus, live in extreme environmental conditions, resistant to traditional antibiotics.  
🗑
Domain Bacteria   Lack membrane bound organelles, don't have a real nucleus.  
🗑
Domain Eukarya   have membrane bound organelles, including a nuclear envelope.  
🗑
Taxonomical Catagories   Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Do koalas prefer chocolate or fruit generally speaking.  
🗑
Domain   Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya.  
🗑
Kingdom   Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia.  
🗑
Domain Eukarya   Unicellular -> Protist. Multicellular -> Autotrophs -> Kingdom Plantae OR Multicellular -> Heterotrophs and if they ingest food they are kingdom animalia, if they absorb food they are kingdom fungi.  
🗑
Yeast is a   Unicellular fungus  
🗑
Algae is a   Multicellular protist  
🗑
Animal-like protists   Some protists, such as Trichomonas Vaginalis shown here, move around and hunt for prey like an animal  
🗑
Fungi-like Protists   Some protists, such as the plasmodial slime mold shown here, live as heterotrophs and form sheet like colonies of cells like a fungus.  
🗑
Plant-Like Protists   Some protists, such as the kelp forest shwon here, are multi cellular and photosynthetic like a plant.  
🗑
Photosynthetic groups   Plants (land), Algae (aquatic), Cyanobacteria (aquatic-pond)  
🗑
Protists are an important component of   Plankton  
🗑
Anemone   Protects Dinoflagellate and Clown fish but also gives food leftovers to Clown Fish  
🗑
Clown fish   Urine of clown fish has high concentration of ammonia that Dinoflagellate converts to protein, also cleans anemone.  
🗑
DinoFlagellate   Protist that live in between the cells of the anemone, produces sugars through photosynthesis that feeds the anemone,  
🗑
Cocci   Spherical bacteria  
🗑
Bacilli   Rod Shaped bacteria  
🗑
Spirilli   Spiral shaped bacteria  
🗑
Mutualistic Symbiosis Bacteria   Thousands of species of bacteria live in the intestines of animals helping in digestion and protection.  
🗑
Photosynthesis Bacteria   Cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to produce sugars and release oxygen.  
🗑
Parasitic symbiosis bacteria   Bacteria produce the majority of infectious diseases in humans  
🗑
Nitrogen Fixation and decomposition step 1   Nitrogen gas is "fixed" by soil-dwelling bacteria, producing ammonia and other compounds containing nitrogen.  
🗑
Nitrogen Fixation and decomposition step 2   The nitrogen compounds are further modified by other bacterias into a form that can be taken up by plants and used to build proteins.  
🗑
Nitrogen Fixation and decomposition step 3   Nitrogen moves through the food chain as organisms eat plants and then are themselves eaten.  
🗑
Nitrogen Fixation and decomposition step 4   Animals wastes and dead animals and plants are broken down by soil bacteria that convert the nitrogen in the tissue back into nitrogen gas.  
🗑
Nitrogen is necessary to build all _______, the components of every _______molecule   Amino Acids, Protein.  
🗑
For nitrogen the most important reservoir is ________   Atmosphere.  
🗑
Protists   Disease causing microbes  
🗑
Malaria a Protist-Caused Illness Step 1   Following the bite of a Plasmodium-infected mosquito, malaria-causing protists take up residence in healthy red blood cells.  
🗑
Malaria a Protist-Caused Illness Step 2   Once inside a red blood cell, Plasmodium cells modify the cells, surface proteins, making it difficult for the immune system to fight the malarial infection.  
🗑
Chitin   Makes fungi and plant cell walls  
🗑
Peptidoglycan   make bacteria cell walls  
🗑
Cellulose   Make plant cell walls  
🗑
Heterotrophic   An organisms that cannot fix carbon from inorganic sources but uses organic carbon for growth.  
🗑
Autotrophic   An organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical reactions.  
🗑
Decomposers   An organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material.  
🗑
Mutualist   Organism that benefits from a relationship with another organism that benefits from same relationship.  
🗑
Parasits   An organism that lives in or on another organism and benefits by deriving nutrients at the hosts expense.  
🗑
Structure and ecological role of Bacteria   Capsule, Cell Wall, Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, Chromosome, Plasmid, Pili, Ribosomes, Flagellum, help difestion in intestines, cyanobacteria = photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and some bacteria cause infectious disease.  
🗑
Structure and ecological role of Archaea   Basically same as Bacteria except unicellular, without cell walls, produces slime mold (as a decomposer) and parasitic in the sense they produce malaria mutualistic role in anemones, photosynthetic role in algae  
🗑
Structure and ecological role of Fungi   Hyphae, cell wall, root hair, plasma membrane  
🗑
Structure and ecological role of Protists   producing 70-80% of worlds oxygen, being a main food source for aquatic animals and a major decomposing agent of dead material. Unicellular, and multicellular that contain a nucleus enclosed in a membrane  
🗑
Fungi are decomposers or Symbionts, meaning?   Fungi acquire energy by breaking down the tissues of dead organisms or by absorbing nutrients from living organisms.  
🗑
Fungi are Sessile, meaning?   Fungi are anchored to the organic material on which they feed.  
🗑
Fungi have cell walls made of _______   Chitin.  
🗑
Mycorrhizae   Mycorrhizal fungi grow in association with the roots of plants, receiving sugar from the plant while transferring nitrogen and phosphorus from the soil to the plant.  
🗑
Protists are   All eukaryotes that are not plants, animals or fungi  
🗑


   

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.
