31
Q

bacteria & archea are what kind of cell

A

prokaryotic cells

32

list the Heretical Classificationof taxonomy

A

the taxanomic catagories are:
1. Domain - most inclusive
2. Kingdom
3. Phylum
4. Class
5. Order
6. Family
7. Genus
8. species - least inclusive

33
Q

who is carolus linnaeus

A

was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalized binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the “father of modern taxonomy

34
Q

what is the Binomial System of Biological Nomenclature and who came up with it

A

is a system of naming organisms in which the name is composed of two terms. also known as the scientific name of organisms.
Carolus Linnaeus invented this system.

35
Q

Haversian canal function + where to find it

A

in bone, allows the bone to get oxygen and nutrition

36
Q

lamella function + where its found

A

in bone, gives bones its compact hardness and rigidity because of its extracellular matrix - forms around the haversian canal

37
Q

lacunae function + where it’s found

A

in bone and cartilage,
lacunae are spaces in which bone cells are present, provides a home for the cells to keep them alive and functional
in bones - lacunae encase osteocytes
in cartilage - lacunae encase chondrocytes

38
Q

osteocytes function + where to find it

A

regulates mineral deposits and chemistry at the bone level

39
Q

canaliculi

A

provide routes to osteocytes to give them nutrients and to take away waste

Q

a gastrula sea star cell becomes a

A

bipinnaria sea star cell

42
Q

what happens during the s phase of interphase

A

the cell “synthesizes” a complete copy of it’s DNA in the nucleus

43
Q

what kind of tissue is cartilage

A

connective

Q

Tissues

A

groups of cells with similar appearance and common function

where is simple epithelium found

A

lines respiratory, urinary, reproductive, and circulatory systems

49
Q

lacunae function

A

spaces in which bone cells are present, their job is to protect other kinds of cells to keep them alive and functional

50
Q

chondrocytes function

A

responsible for the production of collagen, helps maintain cartilage, chondrocytes help to form cartilage tissue

51
