Bio Chapter 1 (Classification) Flashcards
Protoctists Characteristics
Multi or Uni cellular,Have nucleus, may or may not have cell wall and chloroplasts, some feed by photosynthesis
Define classification
The scientific method of dividing organisms into bigger or smaller groups based in their similarities
Define morphology
The study of outward appearance of an animal
Vascular bundles in monocotyledons
Arranged randomly
Characteristics of fungi
Usually multi cellular,produce with spores, have cell wall not made from cellulose have nucleus and no chlorophyll
Name the 5 kingdoms
Plants, animals, fungi, Protoctists, and prokaryot
Name the 5 kingdoms
Plants, animals, fungi, Protoctists, and prokaryot
Are viruses cells
No
Roots of monocotyledons
Grow directly from the stem
Number of petals in monocotyledons
Multiples of 3
What does DNA code
Proteins and Amino acids
Features of viruses
No nucleus, no cytoplasm, no cell membrane
Leaf shape in monocotyledons
Long and narrow
Universally shared features across cells
Cytoplasm, cell membrane, DNA, ribsomes and Enzymes
Define species
A group of animals that can reproduce and have a fertile offspring
Name two types of plants
Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons
Prokaryot charatecerisrics
Single celled, no nucleus, cell wall without cellulose, have no mitochondria
Roots of Dicotyledons
Main root with side roots coming out of it
Why are viruses considered non living
They do not excrete, respire, feed,or grow
Number of petals in Dicotyledons
Multiples of 4 or 5
Leaf veins in Dicotyledons
Branching/networking
Leaf shape in Dicotyledons
Broad
What is the RNA/DNA in virus surrounded by
A coat of protein
Define anatomy
The study if internal structures if an animal through dissection
How do viruses reproduce
By attaching to another living host and using up the resources provided by the body
Characteristics of Plant kingdom
Multicellular, feed by photosynthesis, cell wall made from cellulose, have nucleus and chloroplast
Vascular bundles of Dicotyledons
Arranged in a ring
What do viruses cause
Illness and Disease
Leaf veins in monocotyledons
Parallel
Define caldistics
The process if biological classification
Define binomial system
A system of naming species in which their scientific names are split into two parts
What is dichotomous
Decided by 2
