Question 2

Classification

Answer 2

taxonomy

Question 3

Carolus Linnaeus

Answer 3

• Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) made system of grouping organisms into heirarchical categories
• Used mostly morphology (form and structure)

Question 4

Dichotomous Key

Answer 4

not necessarily science related but the method of splitting things up by characteristics

Question 5

Macromolecules

Answer 5

Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Nucleic Acids (crucial)

Question 6

Morphology/Anatomy (structures)

Answer 6

Morphology: physical similar characteristics

Question 7

Embryology

Answer 7

How do babies develop similarly in the womb/egg

Question 8

Fossils

Answer 8

Evolutionary history

Question 9

Question 10

Phylogenetic tree/Phylogeny

Answer 10

Phylogenetic tree: a family tree that shows evolutionary relationships thought to exist among groups of organisms

Phylogeny: To classify organisms, modern taxonomists consider phylogeny, or evolutionary history, of the organism
- Most of Linnaeus’s work is still relevant today

Question 11

Binomial nomenclature

Answer 11

• In Linnaeus’s system, the species name (also called the scientific name) of an organism has 2 parts

First part = name of the genus
Second part = species identifier
- Usually a descriptive word
- Homo sapiens → sapiens = “wise”

This system of 2-part names is binomial nomenclature

• In binomial nomenclature, genus name is capitalized
• Both names either underlined or italicized
• Because names are in Latin, they are the same throughout the world
• These names can from location, famous people, or be descriptive

Question 12

Taxonomy

Answer 12

branch of biology that names and groups organisms according to their characteristics and evolutionary history

Reason:
Every year, thousands of new species are discovered. Biologists use the characteristics of each newly discovered species to classify it with organisms having similar characteristics. The ways we group organisms continue to change, and today these methods reflect the evolutionary history of organisms in addition to physical characteristics.
