1.Classification Flashcards
(36 cards)
What are the five kindoms?
Plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, protozoa
Ho many phyla is the animal kingdom split into to?
7, one vetebrate phylum, but rest 6 phyla have no backbones (invertebrates)
After phyla…
Class, order, family, genus, species
What are the 2 largest kingdoms?
Plant and animal kingdoms
Why is classification so useful?
Because it can reflect evolutionary relationships and also for identification.
How do you write the genus and species names?
In Italics and Genus has a capital letter at start.
Classification?
The organisation of living organisms into groups, based on shared features, with the aim of reflecting evolutionary relationships.
Species
A group of interbreeding organisms that produce fertile offspring.
Hybrid
A sterile cross between two separate species.
The evolutionary relationship between organisms is called?
Phylogeny
What makes organisms likely to be related?
If they have similar base sequences in their DNA.
What did traditional classification look at?
Morphology(shape/ structure) and anatomy of organisms.
Mitochondrian(s)
Site of aerobic respiration
Where does Protein synthesis take place in a cell?
Ribosomes
What contains digestive enzymes?
Lysosomes
What do virus particles have?
A protein coat and genetic material within them. Also spikes on outside.
Exoskeleton
A rigid covering for the body in some invertebrate animals, especially arthropods.
Spores
A dormant, reproductive cell formed by certain organisms. They are capable of spreading and reproducing by themselves.
What is used to identify an organism from a group of organims by asking a series of questions?
Dichotomous key
Hierachy
Refers to the classification system we use when large groups are sub-divided into smaller and smaller groups with no overlap between the groups.
Monocotyledons
These are flowering plants where the embryo has a single seed leaf and the leaves are long and thin with veins that are parallel.
Dicotyledons
The flowering plant where the embryo has two seed leaves and the leaves vary greatly in shape and their veins form a large network.
MRS GREN?
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Growth
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition
Nutrition
Taking in organic substances and mineral ions to provide raw materials for growth and tissue repair.
These are absorbed and assimilated.
Plants require CO2, light,water and ions.
Animals need organic material and ions and usually water.
