Biology (Upcat Aggreview II) Flashcards
characterized by the struggle to obtain a common resource that is needed by competing organism to survive
competition
an organism (predator) feeds to another (prey)
predation
relationship in which both organisms benefit
mutualism
relationship in which one organism benefits and one organism is neither benefited nor harmed
commensalism
relationship in which one organim benefits at the cost of other
parasitism
a branch of biological science that deals with the identification, classification, and nomenclature of organisms according to their established natural relationships
taxanomy
classification that uses two names
binomial nomenclature
1st being genus or generic name (being capitalied)
and 2nd being the species name or epiphet (in small letters)
Hierarchy of Biological Classification
Domain- kingdom-phyum-class-order-family-genus-species
- prehistoric bacteria
- 1st inhabbitant of Earth
ex. ) methanogens: Bacteria that can live in high concentrations of methane
Archaebacteria
- 1st true bacteria
- descendants of Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
-organisms with membrane and bound organelles
Eukarya
- prokaryotic cell organization
- arkaebacteria and eubacteria
Monera
- eukaryotic organism
- different forms:
a. algae- plant like
b. protozoans- animal-like
c. slime and water molds- fungal-like
protista
- eukaryotic organism
- immobile
- chitin cell walls (chitin fibrous substance)
fungi
- eukaryotic organism
- multicellular
- cellulose cell wall
- autorotrophic organism that have a photosynthetic mode of nutrition
plantae
- eukaryotic organism
- multicellular
- no cell wall
- a heterotrophic organism with an ingestive nutrition
animalia
liquid to gas (water)
evaporation
movement of liquid through plants (water)
transpiration
solid to gas (water)
sublimation
gas to liquid (water)
condensation
5th step- almost papunta sa cloud (water)
transportation
rain fall
precipitation
gas to solid
deposition
- water entering soils
- water flowing THROUGH soil and porous rock
- infiltration
2. percolation
9th step (water)
groundwater flow, surface flow, snow melt runoff
plant uptake
-> transpiration
