Term
Three Domain System
Definition
• Domain Bacteria: prokaryotes that are found everywhere
• Domain Archaea: prokaryotes that live in earth’s harshest environments—extremists
• Domain Eukarya: all eukaryotic organisms
Term
Domain Bacteria
Definition
• Prokaryotes found everywhere!
Term
Domain Archaea
Definition
• Prokaryotes that live in earth’s harshest environments—extremists
Term
Domain Eukarya
Definition
• All eukaryotic organisms
Term
Old Kingdom System
Definition
• Protists were all in one kingdom, but in reality protists are too diverse
• Still used, but scientists usually use the three domain system
• Five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
Term
Kingdom Monera
Definition
• Eubacteria and archaebacteria: all prokaryotes
• Prokaryotes have DNA in a cirlce! No membrane-bound organelles
• Endosphere, can use wide variety of substances for energy, can be heterotropic and autotrophic
Term
Endosphere
Definition
• Something that certain prokaryotes can do
• Unfavorable growth conditions  form this structure  protection until favorable growth conditions are present
Term
Kingdom Protista
Definition
• All eukaryotic, most unicellular…heterotropic or autotrophic
• Algae, phytoplankton, zooplankton
Term
Phytoplankton
Definition
• Protists
• Includes small algae
• Do much of world’s photosynthesis and produce 90% of atmospheric oxygen
Term
Zooplankton
Definition
• Heterotropic protists and animals
• Base of marine food web
Term
Algae
Definition
• Autotrphic protists
• Red (most abundant), brown (many seaweed species), green (mostly fresh water)
Term
Kingdom Fungi
Definition
• Heterotrophic eukaryotes—absorb organic minerals to eat
• Mostly multicellular, some unicellular like yeast
• Secrete powerful digestive enzymes  digest food while it’s still in the environment
• Decomposers
Term
Fungi Structure
Definition
• Multiple nuclei in cells
• Cell wall made of polysaccharide chitlin
Term
Kingdom Plantae
Definition
• Blurry with Protista (like algae)
• Multicellular autotrophs that use photosynthesis
• Bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperm, angiosperm
Term
Vascular Plants
Definition
• True roots, stems, leaves  transport stuff like water and carbohydrates
• Seed plants and seedless plants
• Seedless plants use spores, like ferns (pteridophytes)
• Seed plants: gymnosperms and angiosperms
Term
Nonvascular Plants
Definition
• Don’t have roots, stems, leaves to transport water and carbohydrates
• Mostly need to live in water so they can be sustained by diffusion and osmosis
• Bryophytes live on land (Mosses)
Term
Pteridophytes
Definition
• Seedless vascular plants, largely ferns
Term
Gymnosperms
Definition
• Nonflowering
• Vascular plants with seeds—usually use cones
• Evergreen trees
Term
Angiosperms
Definition
• Most highly evolved of the plants
• Flowering, have seeds, vascular
• About 90% of plants
• Monocot and dicot
Term
Flower Structure
Definition
• Sepals—little leaf-like things under petals
• Petals
• Stamens, look like little antennae, male reproductive part
• Carpel/pistil in the very middle, female reproductive part
Term
Monocot
Definition
• Angiosperm with one seed leaf
• Parallel veins in leaves (grasses, palms)
• One cotyledon
Term
Dicot
Definition
• Angiosperm with two seed leaf
• Leaves with network of veins (trees, shrubs)
• Two cotyledons
Term
Cotyledon
Definition
• “Seed” leaves—first leaves of new plant
Term
Kingdom Animalia
Definition
• Invertebrates and vertebrates (mostly invertebrates)
• Porifera  Cnidaria  Platyhelminthes  nematoda  mollusca  annelida  arthropoda  Echinodermata  Chordata
Term
1a. Porifera
Definition
Sponges
Term
2a. Cnidaria
Definition
Jellyfish
Polyp: stationary
Medusa: move
Named for cnidocytes (stinger things)
Term
3a. Platyhelminthes
Definition
Flatworms
Super simple bilateral bodies
Planarian: free-living
Tapeworm and fluke: parasitic
Term
4a. Nematoda
Definition
Roundworms/Nematodes
First with a body cavity, have more mobility
Trichinella spiralis is BAD
Term
5a. Mollusca
Definition
Mollusks
First with a legit digestive system
Gastropod: slugs, snails
Bivalve: clams, oysters, mussels, scallops
Cephalood: octupus, squid, mobile
Term
6a. Annelida
Definition
Segmented worms
Earthworm
Polychaete
Leech
Term
7a. Anthropoda
Definition
Most diverse phylum of animalia
Arachnid: spiders and stuff
Crustacean: lobsters and stuff, aquatic
Millipedes/centipedes
Term
8a. Echinodermata
Definition
Starfish
First with endoskeleton
Term
Chordata
Definition
• Vertebrates
Term
Alternation of Generations
Definition
• Life cycle of most plants
• Sporophyte and gametophyte generations--both multicellular
• Fertilization  zygote  sporophyte  meiosis  spores  gametophyte  gametes
