Diversity of Living Things Flashcards
What are the Species Concepts
Morphological, Biological and Phylogentic
How do you form Binomial nomenclature
First part: Genus (Capitalized first letter)
Second part: Species (All lower case)
Prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotic: No membrane-bound organelles, unicellular
Eukaryotic: Contain Membrane-bound organelles, unicellular and multicellular
Taxonomy: Name the Ranks in order
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
What are the 3 Domains
bacteria, archaea, and eukarya
Name the 6 Kingdoms
Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista
Characteristics of Protists
Reproduce: Usually asexually
Movement: Some are motile
Cell wall: Cellulose
Mostly Unicellular
Characteristics of Fungi
Reproduction: Spres (Asexula), Fusion of Nuclei (Sexual)
Cell wall: Chitin
Heterotroph
Unicellular and Multicellular
Why are viruses considered not living?
Do not have their own cellular organization or metabolism
Structures of Viruses
-RNA and DNA
-Surrounded by a protein coat (Capsid)
What is Evidence for relatedness
-Anatomical Evidence
-Physiological evidence
-DNA evidence
What is Anatomical Evidence?
Structure/form
What is physiological evidence?
Physical/ chemical
What is DNA evidence?
sequence of nucleotide
Archaea & bacteria
-Unicellular
-Prokarayotic
