eukaryotic/prokaryotic? unicellular/multicellular? autotrophic/heterotrophic?
Definition
eukaryotic
unicellular/multicellular
autotrophic/heterotrophic
Term
What are the three types of Protists?
Definition
Animal-like Protists
Fungus-like Protists
Plant-like Protists
Term
How does an animal-like Protist obtain nutrition?
Definition
ingest then chemically digest
Term
What are some examples of animal-like protists?
Definition
Amoeba (pseudopodia)
Zooflagellates (flagella)
Ciliates (Cillia)
Sporozoans
Term
Describe a sporozoan.
Definition
do not move, unicellular, and cause diseases
Term
How do fungus-like protists obtain nutrition? Are they heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Definition
heterotrophic
release digestive enzymes then absorb nutrients
Term
What are examples of fungus-like protists?
Definition
slime molds
Term
Are plant-like protists unicellular/multicellular? autotrophic/heterotrophic?
Definition
multicellular/unicellular
autotrophic
Term
What are the cell walls of plant-like protists made up of?
Definition
silica or cellulose
Term
What are some examples of plant-like protists?
Definition
red algae, green algae, and brown algae
Term
Are organisms in the kingdom Fungi
eukaryotic/prokaryotic? unicellular/multicellular? heterotrophic/autotrophic?
Definition
eukaryotic
unicellular/multicellular
heterotrophic
Term
How do some Fungi obtain nutrition?
Definition
scavengers break down dead/decaying matter
parasites live and feed off of a living host
Term
What are hyphae? In what type of organism is it found?
Definition
filaments that make up the body of a fungus
Fungi
Term
What is a mycelium? In what type of organism is it found?
Definition
many hyphae joined together in a mass
Fungi
Term
What is a fruiting body? In what type of organism is it found?
Definition
reproductive system coming up from the underground mycelium
Fungi
Term
List and explain types of reproduction of Fungi.
Definition
spore formation: asexual
gametes: external sexual
Term
How do gametes match? In what type of organism are they found?
Definition
gamete is positive or negative and matches with the opposite
Fungi
Term
Are organisms of the kingdom Plantae eukaryotic/prokaryotic? multicellular/unicellular? autotrophic/heterotrophic?
Definition
eukaryotic
multicellular
autotrophic
Term
What are the cell walls of organisms in the kingdom Plantae made up of?
Definition
cellulose and chloroplasts
Term
What are the cell walls of organisms of the kingdom Fungi made up of?
Definition
chitin
Term
Describe the "evolution" of the kingdom Plantae in detail.
Definition
Moss (primitive, no vascular tissue, reproduces with spores and gametes, rely on water) --> Ferns (vascular tissue, rely on water FOR REPRODUCTION with spores and gametes, have roots/stems/leaves=FRONDS) --> Gymnosperms (vascular tissue, reproduce via seeds in cones, evergreen trees=do not rely on water) --> Angiosperms (vascular tissue, reproduce by flowers and fruit with seeds, monocots vs. dicots, flowers and grasses)
Term
Are organisms in the kingdom Animalia
eukaryotic/prokaryotic? unicellular/multicellular? autotrophic/heterotrophic?
Definition
eukaryotic
multicellular
heterotrophic
Term
What is an important aspect of animals?
Definition
movement/mobility
Term
Describe the four tissue types in animals.
Definition
1) Epithelial: coverings, linings, glands
2) Muscular tissue: movement via contraction
3) Nervous tissue: communication and coordination
4) Connective tissue: there are six types and self-explanatory (they CONNECT)
Term
What are the invertebrate phylums in the kingdom Animalia?
Definition
Rotifera, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata
Term
What is the vertebrate phylum in the kingdom Animalia?
Definition
Chordata
Term
What are the classes in the phylum Chordata?
Definition
Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia
Term
What is an example of Rotifera?
Definition
Plankton
Term
Describe the phylum Porifera.
Definition
no symmetry, no tissue types, no organs, asexual and sexual reproduction (mobile larvae), sessile ("adults" do not move *ONLY LARVAE MOVE*), filter feeders
Term
What is an example of a Porifera?
Definition
sponge
por=pores/holes
Term
Describe the phylum Cnideria.
Definition
radial symmetry, medusa/polyp shape, have stinging cells called cnidocytes, no brain but have a brain net so they know difference between up and down
Term
What are some examples of the phylum Cnideria?
Definition
jellyfish, hydra, coral, and sea anemone
Term
Describe the phylum Platyhelminthes.
Definition
flatworms, bilateral symmetry, not segmented, mouths but no anus, many are parasitic, neurological sensors, actual organs, non-parasitic have eye spots, cephalization
Term
What is cephalization?
Definition
concentration of neural tissue (distinct head and tail)
Term
What are some examples of the phylum Platyhelminthes?
Definition
tapeworm
Term
Describe the phylum Nematoda.
Definition
roundworms, nonsegmented, have both mouths and anus, better developed digestive track, most are parasitic, have ganglia (more advanced nervous tissue then nerve net, causes malnutrition, Moves contents with diffusion
Term
Describe the phylum Annelida.
Definition
cylindrical and segmented body (different segments=different functions), closed circulatory system, have chatae/bristles, move using hydrostatis skeleton or parapodia/appendages, more complicated embryological development, brains and blood vessels, use nephridia to excrete cell wastes

Definition
the basic unit of matter
