Classifying and Naming Organisms 3:2

Question 1

Name the three domains

Answer 1

Bacteria,
Archaea
Eukarya

Question 2

Archea

Answer 2

Single-celled organisms lack a nucleus

• prokaryotic (A prokaryote is a cellular organism that lacks an envelope-enclosed nucleus)
• lack of membrane bonded nucleus
• many autotrophs engage in chemosynthesis or photosynthesis
• heterotrophic by absorption
• UNIQUE RNA SEQUENCE
• distinctive plasma membrane and cell wall chemistry
• reproduce asexually

Question 3

Difference between archea domain and bacteria

Answer 3

• Archea have three RNA polymerases like eukaryotes, but bacteria have only one.
• Archea’s has a distinctive plasma membrane and cell wall chemistry where bacteria has a lipid bilayer/

Question 4

Bacteria

Answer 4

-reproduce asexually
Single-celled organisms lack a nucleus
- prokaryotic (A prokaryote is a cellular organism that lacks an envelope-enclosed nucleus)
- many autotrophs engage in chemosynthesis or photosynthesis
- heterotrophic by absorption
-move by flagella

Question 5

Eukarya

Answer 5

Fungi, mosses, animals,plants, protists

• unicellular to multicellular
• membrane mounted nucleous
• sexual reproduction
• phenotypes(observable physical properties of an organism) and nutrition are diverse
• lack kingdom, has specializations
• flagella is present

Question 6

8 levels of classification

Answer 6

Domain (dont)
Kingdom (keep) 
Phylm (pepsi)
Class (cola)
Order (ophelia)
Family 
Genus (guests)
Species (suck)

Question 7

taxon

Answer 7

any of the taxonomic categories such as phylum or subspecies

Question 8

bionomail nomenclature

Answer 8

Genus species (make sure it is italicized or under lined if in handwriting) uses latin

Question 9

Linnaeus system

Answer 9

A way of organizing living things. In biology, plants and animals have traditionally been classified by the structure of their bodies, in a descending hierarchy of categories: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
