Lab 1 Classification Flashcards
Know the order of taxonomic classification. What is your taxonomical classification
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
-Eukarya, Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Primates, Homindae, Homo, sapiens
What is the difference between the common name and scientific name for a species. How do you write the scientific name of a species?
- A common name is regional and a scientific name allows scientists to unambiguously refer to a species
- genus is first then species and is italicized. Genus is capitalized species is not
What are the 2 different cells, how do they differ from each other?
- prokaryotic and eukaryotic
- prokaryotic has a cell wall, nucleoid, and don’t have membrane bound organelles, are small and simple
- eukaryotic have a nucleus, no cell wall, have membrane bound organelles, large and complex
4 kingdoms of eukarya
- plantae: multicellular, colonial, or single celled, autotrophic
- Animalia: multicellular, they move, heterotrophic
- Fungi: multicellular is decor for yeast, don’t move, heterotrophic
- Protista: multicellular/colonial/single celled, some move, some don’t, some are autotrophic, some are heterotrophic
What are the 3 types of symmetry that organisms can have? Give an example for each type
- Asymmetry: lack of symmetry (sponges)
- Bilateral: can divide into 2 equal halves: cat
- Radial: multiple planes, will divide into 2 equal halves (starfish)
Anterior
Front end
Posterior
Rear end
Dorsal
Back/top
Ventral
Belly/bottom
Longitudinal
Separates left and right
Frontal
Separates dorsal and ventral
Cross
Separates anterior and posterior
Difference between a mono, para, and poly group
- Monophyletic: has a common ancestor and all of its descendants
- polyphyletic: no common ancestor
- para: common ancestor and some of descendants
What adjustment do you use on the highest setting of a microscope
Never use coarse adjustment use fine adjustment
What is the scanning lens
At 4x always use it first it has the highest field of vision
