Science Mid Term Flashcards
Carolus Linneaus
created the system we use to classify organisms today
taxonomy
the scientific study of how things are classified
scientific name
has two parts: genus and species
binomial nomenclature
the naming process in which every organism is give a two part name
autotrophic
plants mostly (organisms that make their own food using energy from the sun)
heterotrophic
organisms that obtain energy (food) from another source; animals and fungi
prokaryotic
no nucleus
eukaryotic
has a nucleus
orders of classification
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
(Dear King Phillip Came Over For Good Shrimp)
Archea
Single celled organism that do not have a nucleus (prokaryotes are in this domain) they live in extreme/harsh environments
Bacteria
all bacteria belong in this domain - they can be found in soil, water, or living organisms. They are prokaryotes and reproduce by cell division.
Eukarya
all organisms whose cells have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles (Eukaryotes) This domain includes Animalia, Plantae, Protista, Fungi Kingdoms
