Unit 9/10 Classification Flashcards
(53 cards)
1
Q
Taxonomists
A
- Scientists that identify and name organisms
2
Q
Benefits of classifying
A
- Accurately/ uniformly name organisms
- Prevents misnomers
3
Q
Classifying language
A
- Uses same language: Latin + some Greek for all names
- Latin names understood by all taxonomists
4
Q
Aristotle
A
- 1st taxonomist
- Divided organisms into plants + animals, then subdivided by habitat
5
Q
Carolus Linnaeus
A
- Father of Taxonomy
- Classified organisms by their structure
- Developed the modern naming system: binomial nomenclature
6
Q
Binomial Nomenclature
A
- Two word name (Genus, species)
- Capitalize Genus not species
7
Q
Standardized naming
A
- Italicized in print
- Underlined when writing
8
Q
Taxon (Taxa-plural)
A
- A category into which related organisms are placed
- Hierarchy of groups/ taxa from broadest to most specific
9
Q
Hierarchy- Taxonomic Groups
A
- Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Did King Philip come over for great sex?
10
Q
Domain definition
A
- The broadest, least specific, most inclusive taxon
11
Q
Species definition
A
- Most specific taxon
12
Q
3 Domains
A
- Archaea and Eubacteria:
Unicellular prokaryotes
(No nucleus/ membrane bound organelles). - Eukarya: More complex and have a nucleus + membrane bound organelles
13
Q
Eubacteria
A
- Some may cause disease, and are decomposers
- LIVE ANYWHERE
- Commercially important in making dairy like cheese
14
Q
What Domain’s the first to evolve?
A
- Eubacteria (prokaryotes found in all habitats except harsh ones)
15
Q
Archaebacteria
A
- Live in harsh environments
- Vvv hot, acidic, salty places
16
Q
Kingdoms in the Domain Eukarya
A
- Protista
- Fungi
- Plantae
- Animalia
17
Q
Protista
A
- Live in moist or wet environments
- Cell walls made of cellulose
18
Q
Fungi
A
- Multicellular except yeast
- Absorptive heterotrophs (digest food outside body then absorb it)
- Cell walls made of chitin
19
Q
Plantae
A
- Multicellular
- Autotrophic
- Photosynthesis
- Cell walls made of cellulose
20
Q
-ose
A
- Sugar
21
Q
3 Plant Divisions
A
- Bryophytes
- Gymnosperm
- Angiosperm
22
Q
Bryophytes
A
- Mosses: have no vessels for moving water to the leaves
23
Q
Gymnosperm
A
- Conifers + pine trees: cones
24
Q
Angiosperm
A
- All flowering plants
25
When did Dino's exist?
- Dino's existed when there were no flowers, only pine trees.
26
Classification
- Arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities
- Aka taxonomy
27
Protista Cell type
Eukaryote
28
Bacteria cell outer boundary
Cell wall
29
Protista cell outer boundary
Cell membrane or wall
30
Bacteria number of cells
Unicellular (1)
31
Protista number of cells
Both but usually unicellular
32
Fungi number of cells
Both, mostly multicellular
33
Bacteria reproduction
Binary fission
34
Protista reproduction
Mitosis and sexual reproduction
35
Fungi reproduction
Sporulation, sexual, and asexual
36
Plant reproduction
Sexual
37
Bacteria getting energy
Heterotroph and Autotroph
38
Protista getting energy
Heterotroph and Autotroph
39
3 examples of Protista
Paramecium, amoeba, and algae
40
Monera
- First and least complex kingdom that includes archaebacteria and eubacteria
41
Arthropods
Insects in the animal kingdom that have segmented legs
42
Lysogenic cycle
- When a virus infects a cell which eventually bursts, releasing newly assembled viruses
43
What're the cold and the flu caused by?
A virus
44
What do u not use against a virus?
- Don't use antibiotics, because viruses aren't living
45
What do u use against viruses?
Vaccines made from destroyed or weakened forms of a virus
46
Which 2 kingdoms produce sexually?
Plants and animals
47
Where's the sperm located in plants?
- A pollen grain which fertilizes an egg
48
Where's pollen located in a plant?
- The tip of the stamen, the male part of the flower
49
Stamen
Male part of the flower
50
Ovules are the same things as
Eggs
51
What 2 things to ferns and mosses need to reproduce?
- Ferns and mosses use water to reproduce and sometimes need wind to carry spores
52
When does pollination occur?
- Pollination occurs when pollen from the anther is deposited on the pistil, which can happen by birds, insects, and wind.
53
Koch's Postulates
The disease must be taken from the infected host and injected into the healthy host and must match the original host culture
