Chapter 7 Flashcards
Human Taxonomy Categories
Domain: Eukarya, Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Subphylum: Vertebrata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Primates, Family: Hominidae
Animalia
No cell walls, Sexual w diploid multicellular form only, amoeboid or flagellar movement, (+) arrangement of microtubules, chemohetero ingestive, mammals
Chordata
Posses notochord, dorsal hollow nerve chord, and pharyngeal gill silts at some point in embryonic development
Vertebrata
Bilateral symmetry, cephalization, endoskeleton w vertebral column, four limbs (or fins), 2 to 4 chambered heart and closed circulatory system|Respiratory system, excretory system wkidneys, mostly separate sexes
Mammalia
hair, - limbs, -chambered heart, diaphragm for resp., mammary glands, internal fertilization, some have placental development
Primates
well-developed cerebral cortex, opposable thumbs, omnivorous, forward-facing eyes
Hominidae
erect posture, intelligence, long period of parental care, cooperation
Domain Archea
circular genomes and no membrane-bound organelles. Does not posses a cell wall
Domain Bacteria
Most prokaryotes fall into this category. Small and have a single circular genome and no membrane bound organelles|Eubacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan
Cyanobacteria
these plant like prokaryotes have chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis
Algae
Plant like , photosynthetic protists. Primary photosynthetic producer of organic material|All algae contain chlorophyll a
Protozoa
Animal-like ingestive protists|Amoebas, zoo-flagellates and ciliophores
Phylum Myxomycota (Fungus Like Prostits)
Slime molds, in their feeding stage they consists of a large ameboid mass known as a plasmodium
Plasmodium- multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that is not divided by membranes
Phylum Acrasiomycota (Fungus Like-Protists)
Cellular slime molds, at the feeding stage the plasmodium remains with each nucleus in its own membrane bound cell
Phylum Oomycota (Fungus Like-Protists)
Water molds, a large egg is fertilized by smaller sperm cells|white rusts, mildew and water molds
Division Zygomycota (Kingdom Fungi)
Fungi that live on decaying plant and animal matter. Eat decaying plant and animal matter
Reproduce asexually unless food supply is gone, then reproduce with organism that has food. Spores resist unfavorable conditions and will reactivate when conditions become favorable
Division Ascomyocta (Kingdom Fungi)
Sac fungi, range from unicellular yeast o elaborate multicellular structures (truffles and cup fungi)|Reproduce sexually through sac like spores called asci. They reproduce asexually through naked spores called conidia
Division Basidiomyciota (Kingdom Fungi)
Important decomposers of wood and other plant material. Sexual reproduction through fruiting bodies known as basidocarps|Puffballs, mushrooms, shelf fungi and rusts
Divison Bryophyta (Kingdom plantae)
Mosses. Plants that grow in tight packs known as mats. Root like filaments called rhizoids. Utilizes alternations of haploid and diploid generations|Nonvascular plants
Divison Hepatophyta (Kingdom plantae)
Liverworts. use gemmae (small bundles of cells) to reproduce asexually|Nonvascular plants
Division Anthocerophyta (Kingdom plantae)
Hornworts. Contain only a single large chloroplast. Contain elongated capsules growing out of their gametophytes that resemble horns|Nonvascular plants
Divison Psiliphyta (Kingdom plantae)
Whiskfern. Plants lack both true roots and leaves|Vascular seedless plants
Divison Lycophyta (Kingdom plantae)
Lycopods. Many species live as epiphytes (plants that grown on other plants but are no parasites), others grow close to the ground|Vascular seedless plants
