Classification Flashcards
(48 cards)
what are the requirements of life
respiration
irritability
nourish
growth/development
excrete
reproduce
what is respiration
- chemical reaction
- extracts energy from nutrients
what is irritability
(movement + sensibility) responds to stimuli
what is nourish
(nutrition) method of obtaining food
what is excretion
producing waist (CO2)
what is reproduction
asexual and sexual
what is growth
to increase in size
what is classification
placing living organisms into groups
why do we classification things
to better study and understand organisms
how do we classify organisms
- by morphology
- by anatomy
- by genetic sequencing
- by protein composition
what is a taxonomist
scientists that work in classification (taxonomy)
what is the order of classification
kingdom
phylum
class
order
family
genus
species
what are the five kingdoms
fungi
prokaryotes
protoctista
plants
animals
points on fungi
- cells have cell wall, but not photosynthesis
- are decomposers
eg. yeast, mushrooms
points on prokaryotes
- AKA bacteria, no nucleus
eg. tuberculosis
points on protoctista
- unicellular, have cell wall and a nuclues
eg. amoeba
points on plants
- do photosynthesis
- have cell wall and are multicellular
eg. sunflower
points on animals
- multicellular
eg. humans, mice
what are the phylum’s of plants
A) mosses/ bryophytes: short, no roots, live in moist environments
B) ferns/ filicinophyta: spores under leaves called sporangia, fronds
C) conifers/ gymnosperms: make cones and spiky leaves
D) angiosperms: make flowers
what are the phylum’s for animals
A) chordata: spinal cord
B) arthropoda: have exoskeleton
what are the classes of chordata + describe the table
reptiles
mammals
aves
amphibians
fish
what are the classes for arthropoda + descibe the table
insects
arachnids
crustacea
myriapods
