The science of sorting living things into categories?
Classification
A group of similar organisms in a genus that can reproduce more of their own kind?
Species
An animal that has a backbone?
Vertebrate
Containing plant tissue through which water and food move?
Vascular
Containing no plant tissue through which water and food move?
Nonvascular
An animal that does not have a backbone?
Invertebrate
What are the classification of a group from broadest to narrowest?
- Kingdom
- Phylum
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
How many kingdoms are organisms divided into?
Six
What are the three major kingdoms?
- Animal Kingdom
- Plant Kingdom
- Fungus Kingdom
How are plants and animals alike?
Both kingdoms (plants and animals) include only multicellular organisms.
What two major groups are animals divided into?
Vertebrates and Invertebrates
How do animals obtain energy?
Animals must consume other organisms to get energy.
Which phylum do vertebrates belong to?
Phylum Chordata
Names some examples of vertebrates.
Fish, snake, and cow
Names some examples of invertebrates.
Sponge, dragonfly, jellyfish
How are plants separated?
Nonvascular and Vascular - the difference between these is based on how plants transport water, nutrients and waste.
Which two groups are vascular plants separated into?
Seed plants and seedless plants
What is the function of vascular tissue?
Carries water and nutrients up from the plant’s roots to its leaves.
How do nonvascular plants get water?
Misses transport water and other substances directly from the ground into their cells.
How do seedless plants reproduce?
Seedless plants produce spores. A spore is a single cell that can develop into a new plant exactly like the one that produced it.
What are two types of seeded plants?
Gymnosperms and angiosperms
What are gymnosperms?
Is a seed plant that does not produce a flower.
What are angiosperms?
Is a seeded plant that produces flowers.
