What is Taxonomy?
The science of naming organisms and grouping them into categories.
What is Phylogeny?
The science of discovering the evolutionary history of a species.
What is the order of the Taxons? (Specific to General)
a) Species
b) Genus
c) Family
d) Orders
e) Classes
f) Phyla
g) Kingdoms
h) Domains
(This Species is the only Genus in the Family. I Order that he take additional Classes in the Phyla Kingdom so that he’s at the top of his Domain)
How do you properly write a scientific name?
Genus Name and then Species Epithet
(Genus = Panther, Epithet = Spotted)

a) They all use Binary Fission
What are the Differences between the prokaryotic Domains (Bacteria and Archaea)?
a) Archaea have genes that bacteria does not have
b) Their cell walls have a different structure
c) Their cell membranes have a different structure
What are the three types of Archaea?
a) Thermophiles
b) Halophiles
c) Methanogens
What is Microbiota?
A community of microorganisms that live in/on our bodies
What is Biofilm?
A cooperative colony of prokaryotes that covers a surface.
What are the four Eukaryotic Kingdoms?
Plants, Animals, Fungi, and Protists
What are the characteristics of the Plant Kingdom?
a) Autotrophs
b) Always Multicellular
c) Has a cell wall
What are the characteristics of the Animal Kingdom?
a) Heterotrophs
b) Always Multicellular
c) LACKS a cell wall
What are the characteristics of the Fungi Kingdom?
a) Heterotrophs
b) Multi and Single Celled
c) Has a cell wall
What are the characteristics of the Protist Kingdom?
a) Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
b) Multi and Single Celled
c) Has and LACKS a cell wall
What are the differences between Lytic and lysogenic cycle of viruses?
a) Lytic- Kills the host and reproduces more phages
b) Lysogenic - reproduces phages DNA which is passed on when the bacteria replicates
What are the three major lineages of protists?
Algae, Protozoa, and Fungus like Protists
What are the three structures of fungi and their function?
a) Hyphae- Absorb Nutrients by penetrating it
b) Spore- Reproductive Unit that allows the Fungus to grow in new areas
c) Mycelium- Breaks food down for the Hyphae to absorb
What is the ecological and economic importance of fungi?
a) Fungi serve as decomposers of organic matter in ecosystems.
b) Fungi is in several types of food
c) Fungi has mycorrhizae which helps the plants around it with absorption.
