Quiz 1 Flashcards
Identify the six kingdoms and give an example of each
Fungi (usually motionless, absorb nutrients to survive) Ex. Mould
Eubacteria(single celled, do not have nucleus) Ex. Salmonella
Plants (contain chlorophyll, motionless) Ex. Ferns
Protista (Single celled, have nucleus, usually live in water) Ex. Amoeba
Archaea bacteria (have internal membranes) Ex. Extreme thermophiles
Animals (multi celled organisms, eat food for survival, have nervous systems) Ex. Elephants (Loxodonta)
What are kingdom, phylum etc used for
To classify things according to ow closely they’re related
Identify two phylum and what’s different between them
Cnidaria (Jellyfish)
Ctenophora (Tentaculata)
- Ctenophores have comb plates but cnidarian so don’t
- Cnidarians disable prey with cnidocytes
- Ctenophores capture prey with colon lasts
Explain difference between species and genus
Genus- Above species, more broad, race
Species- Groups or pops of Anika’s that have high degree of genetic similarity an can interbreed to create fertile offspring
Give the scientific names and common names of two animals
The meaning of the names
How closely are they related
An interesting fact about each of them
Lepus arcticusHare/Lepus-Latin hare
-adapted to polar an mountainous habitats, has thick coat of fur, digs hole underground to keep warm and sleep
Alces Alces/Moose/Latin elk

-species of African aquatic frog of the popular family
Vombatus Ursinus/Wombat/Urs-bear
- short legged, muscular, quadrupedal marsupial native to Australia
- takes 14 days to digest
What is a phylogenetic tree
Diagram used to show evolutionary relationships between species
Bottom-Past
Top-Present
Explain how a phylogenetic tree can help determine how species are related
Traces back to common ancestors
What does phylogeny mean
Study of evolutionary relatedness among species
why are viruses not considered alive
***Tiny non living particles which only produce inside a living cell. Do not respirate grow or move
Difference between lyric and lysogenic cycles
***Instead of destroying the host DNA and making new viruses (Lysogenic) the viral DNA becomes part of the host DNA
Why is it important to have a standardized system orf classifying life
.
How is it possible for an animal that lives all over the world to be related to an animal that only lives in one place
.
Name several phyla and meanings
.
How is life classified
Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
