| how are species grouped? | according to biological characteristics |
| species have a ____ part name | two |
| Aristotle | a Greek philosopher plants by structure animals by habitat |
| John Ray | long detailed Latin names |
| Dianthus caryophyllus | the carnation |
| Linnaeous | structure binomial nomenclature taxons |
| Binomial Nomenclature | a system for giving each organism a two-word scientific name that consists of the genus name followed by the species name |
| writing a binomial nomenclature | Latin Genus -1st word -CAPITALIZED Descriptive term -2nd word -not capitalized subspecies -3rd word -homo sapiens sapiens |
| classifications | kingdom phylum class order family genus species |
| binomial nomenclature | name is underlined when written italicized in prnt abbreviate using 1st letter of genus ex.) C. lupus Canis lupus |
| 6 Modern Kingdoms | Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plant Animal |
| ailurus fulgens | red panda |
| classification criteria | evolutionary relationships anatomy physiology genetics life history embryology biochemistry |
| Phylogenetic Systematics | current trend in classification |
| "Phylogeny" | how living and extinct organisms are related to each other |
| GOAL to evolutionary classification | to group species according to evolutionary descent |
| groups are called ______ | clades |
| Three Domains of Life | archaea bacteria eukarya |
| Domain bacteria | prokaryotic unicellular peptidoglycan heterotrophic or autotrophic |
| Domain Archaea | prokaryotic unicellular lack peptidoglycan unique membrane lipids extreme environments DNA sequences resemble those of eukaryotes |
| Protists | eukaryotes unicellular heterotroph or autotroph |
| plants | autotrophs (contain chloroplasts) eukaryotes multicellular non-motile |
| fungi | heterotrophic (absorptive) eukaryotic multi-cellular non-motile |
| animals | hetertroph (ingestive) eukaryote multi-cellular |
| archaebacteria | all prkaryotes |
| thermophile | intense heat |
| halophile | high salt concentration |
| methanogens | create methane |
| eubacteria | diverse nearly every ecological niche |
| beneficial roles or eubacteria | 1. recycle C,N,S, & P 2. E. Coli produce vitamin K 3. digestion of cellulose in cattle 4.biotechnology- insulin, clotting factor 5. clean up toxic wastes and oil spills 6. manufacture of yogurt, cheese, vinegar |
| bacteria | binary fission heterotrophic or autotrophic |
| binary fission | reproduction by splitting in half |
| 3 main shapes of bacteria | spheres, rods, spirals |
| 3 main colonies of bacteria | chains, clusters, pairs |
| bacterial growth | moisture wide range of temperature darkness |
| atmospheric conditions | obligate aerobes (must have O2) obligate anaerobes (killed by O2) facultative anaerobes (can live in O2 rich or anaerobic conditions) |
| 3 kinds of protist | algal fungal protozoans |
| importance of Algal and Fungal protista | basis of food chain diatomaceous earth- toothpaste red tide |
| Algal protists | eugenoids, Golden Algae, dinoflagellates |
| Fungal Protists | slime molds |
| Protozoan Protists | ciliates flagellates sporozoans sarcodines |
| Protozoan importance | disease -african sleeping sickness -malaria -dysentery |
| niches of fungi | saprobes - decompose -mushrooms parasites - harm host -athlete's foot -ringworm |
| benefits of fungi | bread, cheese, food drugs & enzymes decomposers |
| 2 types or animals | invertebrates - no backbone vertebrates - have a backbone |
| invertebrates | 95% of all animals |
| vertebrates | chordates notochord - generally becomes backbone ex) fish, reptiles, birds, mammals |
| fish | aquatic vertebrates gills ectothermic fins and scales |
| amphibians | larva have gills adults have lungs ectothermic |
| reptiles | dry scaly skin ectothermic lay shelled eggs |
| birds | feathers and wings endothermic light skeleton lay shelled eggs |
| mammals | hair or fur endothermic produce milk |
| noncellular | viruses -herpes -HIV -ebola |

| bos taurus | cattle |
| classifying humans into taxons | animalia chordata mammalia carnivora ursidae ursus ursus arctos |
| monophyletic group | includes a single common ancestor and all of its descendants |
| cladogram | links groups of organisms by showing how evolutionary lines branched off from common ancestors |
