Science 4Q Six Kingdoms (Identification) Flashcards
Father of Taxonomy
Carolus von Linnaeus
Classification of living organisms
Taxonomy
System of giving living things a two-part name
Binomial Nomenclature
Made the Six Kingdoms
Carl Woese
Use energy from chemicals
Chemosynthetic Organisms
Can live in extremely salty environments
Halophiles
Can live in extremely acidic environments
Acidophiles
Can live in environment with relatively high temperature
Thermophiles
Obtains nutrients from decaying matter (absorbs)
Saprotrophs
Are multicellular eukaryotes; Photosynthetic
Plants
Animal like protists; can move
Protozoans
Plant-like protists; can’t move
Algae
Has both fungi and protozoan characteristics
Fungus-like Protists
Heterotrophic; doesn’t digest
Fungi
Plants depend on this for needed soil nutrients
Symbiotic fungi
Provides numerous drugs
Beneficial fungi
Ex. Mushrooms, Truffles, Morels; Pathogenic Disease causing
Edible species
Brings back inorganic nutrients from remains to soil (eats)
Decomposers
Describes how body parts of an animal are centered around an axis
Symmetry
Two equal parts by a single cut; mirror images
Bilateral symmetry
Arranged circularly around an imaginary circular axis
Radial symmetry
Lacks a central axis or point
Assymetrical
Distinct head/anterior end; a tail/posterior end
Cephalization
Refers to the segmentation of the body into a series of repeated segments
Segmentation
