Taxonomy
Binomial Nomenclature
Carl Linnaeus (18th Century)
Genus - Species
3 Domains
Bacteria, Archae, Eukarya
Taxa ( King Phillip Came Over From Spain)
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Domain Bacteria
Single Celled Prokaryotes (no internal Membrane)
Pathogens
Asexual, Conjugation (primitive sexual repro)
Nitrogen fixing
Genetic Engineering
Viruses
Domain Archaea
Single celled prokaryotes (no internal Membrane)
Extromophiles: Methanogens (Methane)
Halogens (Salt loving)
Thermophiles (high temp)
Domain Eukarya
Eukaryotes - Cells with internal membranes
Includes - protista, fungi, plantae, animalia
Some = photosynthetic
Three Domain System of Classification
Based on DNA analysis
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya
Domain Classification - Membrane Enclosed Organelles
Eukaryotes
Domain Classification - Peptidoglycan in cell walls
Bacteria
Domain Classification - Introns
Archaea - Eukaryotes
Introns = noncoding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are spliced out before the RNA molecule is translated into a protein
Protista
Domain Eukarya
Cell walls have nuclei
Widest variety of organisms (many cant be classified elsewhere)
single-celled and primitive multicelled orgs
Both - Heterotroph autotroph
Examples - ameoba, Paramecium, Euglena
Fungi
Eukarya
Heterotrophic
Extracellular digestion (have hydrolytic enzymes)
Absorb nutrients through diffusion
Decomposers
Cell walls are made from chitin not cellulose
Examples - yeast, mold, mushrooms
Plants
Eukarya
Autotrophic
Two Types: Tracheophytes , Bryophyes
Tracheophytes
Have vascular tissue
Bryophytes
No vascular tissue
Gymnosperms
Conebearing
Angiosperms
Flowering
Monocotyledons (corn,grass)
Dicotyledons (peanuts) - two seed leaves
Animals
Heterotrophic - multi cellular - eukaryotes
Most reproduce sexually
dominant diploid stage
9 phyla
9 Animal Phyla - Prince Charles Plays Needles Among Every Child
Porifera - sponges
Cnidaria - jellies
Platyhelminthes - flat worms
Nematoda - Parasitic worms - hook, pin, whip
Annelida - ringed worms (segmented) - earth, rag, leeches
Echinodermata - sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers
Chordata - animals,fish
Germ Layers
Formed by gastrulation in embryonic stage
Complex animals are triploblastic (3 layers)
Ectoderm - skin, nervous system
Endoderm - Viscera and digestive system
Mesoderm - Blood and bones
Primitive animals (sponges/hydra) diploblastic - no mesoderm
Coelom
True fluid-filled body cavity
Arises withing and completely surrounded by mesoderm
Provides space for elaborate organ systems
Divided into Protostome and Deuterostome
Acoelomate
Triploblastic - solid bodies
No cavity between digestive tract and outerbody wall
Platyhelmthes
Pseudocoelomate
False Coelom
body cavity is partly lined by mesoderm
Nematodes (roundworms)
Protostome Coelomate
Primitive
True coelom
first opening in embryo is mouth, second opening - anus
Annelids (earthworms), Mollusk, arthropods
