Organization,Classification,Metabolism Flashcards
What is the classification system for organisms?
Domain-Archae,Bacteria,Eukarea Kingdom-Animalia,plantae,fungi,monera,protista Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species-Specific name
What are the levels of organization?
Biosphere Biome Ecosystem Community Population Organism Organ System,Organ,Tissue Cell Organelle Molecule Atom Subatomic Particle
Scientific Names
Genus-Always capitalized and underlined/italicized
Specific Epithet-Always underlined/italicized
Scientific names are important because common names vary around the world, latin based scientific names don’t
Kingdom Monera:Characteristics
Prokaryotic Single-celled Have cell walls Autotrophic Aquatic environment Producers (photosynthesis) Very simple Ex:Cyanobacteria
Kingdom Protista:Classifications
Prokaryotic Single-celled Only algae have cell walls,are autotrophic,and are producers All others are heterotrophic All aquatic except slime molds Slime molds are decomposers Protozoans are consumers Simple complexity
Kingdom Fungi:Characteristics
Eukaryotic Single and multicellular Chilten cell walls Heterotrophic Warm,moist,terrestrial environments Decomposers Moderate complexity Ex:Mushrooms,mold,yeast
Kingdom Plantae:Characteristics
Eukaryotic Multicellular Cellulose cell walls Autotrophic Fresh water or terrestrial environments Producers Complex Ex:Trees,flowers,grass,ferns,mosses
What is photosynthesis?
When energy from the sun is converted into forms that are useable by all living organisms. Only autotrophs and those containing chlorophyll can perform this (plants,algae,cyanobacteria)
Anabolism-The build up of metabolism
Photosynthesis Equation
light energy
6CO2 + 6H2O »_space;»»> C6H12O6 + 6O2
carbon water chlorophyll sugar oxygen
dioxide
Cellular Respiration
Occurs in ALL living organisms (autotrophs and heterotrophs)
Catabolism-break down of metabolism
Cellular Respiration Equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 »_space;»» 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
sugar oxygen carbon water energy
dioxide
Photosynthesis Experiment
Elodea and water in a test tube, upside down in another glass of water under light will produce oxygen
Cellular Respiration Experiment
Yeast,sugar and water in graduated cylinder. Fill test tube with solution. Put test tube in glass upside down. Produced carbon dioxide
