Hierarchal Organization of Organisms
What is a Cell
the smallest unit of life
What is taxonomy
the science of naming things
Are archaea prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
prokaryotes
What is a Protist
a unicellular, multicellular, or colonial eukaryote whose cell walls
What are fungi and are they eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
unicellular or multicellular organism that absorbs nutrients from organic materials in its environment. Fungi are eukaryotes that reproduce almost always asexually via spores. Fungi are made up of hyphae and mycelium.
What are the 2 organ systems in plants
Root system
Shoot System
Who was the worlds first Taxonomer

What is an extremophile
an organism that lives under extreme environmental conditions
What is cellulose?
a protein that makes up the structure of the plant’s cell wall.
What is mycelium
the body of a fungus
What are the 3 types of plant tissue
1. Dermal
2. Vascular
3. Epithelial
What makes up a binomial nomenclature
Genus
Epithet
What is another word for Archaea
extremophile
What are molds?
Funguslike protists that feed on decaying organic matter through absorption. Like fungus, they reproduce using spores
What makes up a system of Hyphae
mycelium

2. Connective
3. Nervous
4. Epithelial
What are the 8 taxonomic levels
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
What is in the cell walls of archaea
peptidoglycan
What are Protozoans?
protists that resemble a tiny animal. Examples include amoebas, ciliates, flagellates, and sporozoans
Are fungi heterotrophic or autotrophic
heterotrophic
What is the hierarchal organization of organisms
atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
What is the purpose of a
Cladogram
Dichotomous Key
Phylogenetic Tree
Cladogram = show similarities and differences
Dichotomous species = find the identity of an unknown species
Phylogenetic Tree = show similarities and differences
What do Archaea use for mobility
What is Algae and what do they do for their ecosystem
Plantlike protists that produce food through photosynthesis. They form the energy base of most aquatic food chains.
What is decomposition
break down dead plant and animal matter. This helps put nutrients back in the soil for other organisms to use
