Ch 2 & Ch 15 Test

Question 0

Explain scientific names

Answer 0

Scientific names are made up of the genus name and the specific/species name

Question 1

List the 8 levels of classification

Answer 1

DKPCOF&GS

Question 2

Describe the 3 domains

Answer 2

Eukarya has a nucleus. Archae can live in extreme environments and don’t have a nucleus. Bacteria has no nucleus and can’t live in extreme places but can live in animals

Question 3

Fungi

Answer 3

Fungi- Nongreen, eukaryotic, can’t move, reproduce by spores, get food by breaking down substance then absorbing nutrients.

Question 4

Plantae

Answer 4

Multicellular, usually green, have cell walls, can’t move, use sun’s energy and photosynthesis, eukaryotic

Question 5

Protista

Answer 5

One celled, eukaryotic, different from animals, plants, and bacteria

Question 6

Animalia

Answer 6

Multicellular, no cell walls, constantly move and quickly respond to their environment

Question 7

What’s the difference between revolution and rotation?

Answer 7

A rotation= one spin on its axis

A revolution= a compleat trip around the sun

Question 8

What’s the first law of planetary motion?

Answer 8

An ellipse’s maximum length is its major axis

Question 9

Second law of planetary motion

Answer 9

Closer to sun and “shorter string” is faster revolution

Question 10

Third law of planetary motion

Answer 10

Explains the relationship between the period of revolution and its semi-major axis

Question 11

What does a planet’s period of revolution depend on?

Answer 11

Distance and mass

Question 12

What is the chemical make of the atmosphere?

Answer 12

75% nitrogen, 25% oxygen, and 1% other stuff like argon

Question 13

What is the shape of planetary orbits?

Answer 13

An ellipse shape

Question 14

What is the law of universal gravitation?

Answer 14

The force of gravity depends on the products of the masses divided by the square of the distances between the objects

Question 15

How are the kingdoms plantae and fungi different from each other?

Answer 15

Plantae has photosynthesis and is usually green.

Question 16

How are the domains Archae and Bacteria different?

Answer 16

Archae can live in extreme places

Question 17

Is bacteria a type of Eukaryote or nah?

Answer 17

No it’s a type of prokaryote because it doesn’t have a nucleus or any membrane covered organelles

Question 18

Why do scientists use scientific names for organisms?

Answer 18

So scientists of all languages and talk about the organisms and it gives it one global name. An organism may have many common names but only one scientific name

Question 19

How does a dichotomous key help scientists identify organisms?

Answer 19

Uses characteristics in the process of elimination

Question 20

Why doesn’t the classification system plants or animals work anymore?

Answer 20

Because there are new organisms that have characteristics of both plants and animals

Question 21

What characteristics do the members of the four kingdoms of the domain Eukarya have in common?

Answer 21

They all have nuclei and membrane covered organelles

Question 22

Why did Linnaeus not include kingdoms for the categories Archae and Bacteria?

Answer 22

Because they are kingdoms and domains at the same time

Question 23

How are bacteria similar to fungi?

Answer 23

They can both live on other organisms

Question 24

How are fungi similar to animals?

Answer 24

There are both eukaryotic and don’t have photosynthesis

Question 25

What organism is considered the simplest animal?

Answer 25

The sea sponge

Question 26

What is the difference between classification and taxonomy?

Answer 26

Taxonomy uses classification to type organisms

Question 27

Do biological classification schemes changes? If yes then why?

Answer 27

Yes because we’re always discovering new organisms that don’t always fit in old categories

Question 28

What domain does E.Coli belong to? Where do we find it?
