Diversity of Life
What kingdom is made of multicellular autotrophs?
what is Plantae
What is the most diverse or most inclusive level of classification?
what is a domain
The smallest unit of an element, made of protons, neutrons, and electrons
What is an atom
The types of chemical bonds that are found within a single water molecule
What are polar covalent bonds
It tastes sour, has a low pH, and has more H+ than OH-
What is an acid
What do prokaryotes lack?
what is a nucleus
The naming system Linneas created?
what is binomial nomenclature
A bond where electrons are shared unequally
What is a polar covalent bond
Attractions between partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen or nitrogen atoms in water, proteins, and nucleic acids
What are hydrogen bonds
A scale from 0 to 14 to measure how alkaline, neutral, or acidic a solution is
What is pH
What is another name for an organism that consists of only one cell, even if those individual cells are clumped together?
what is unicellular
What are the two parts to a species scientific name?
genus and species
An attractions between oppositely charged ions
What is an ionic bond
Water molecules attract other water molecules through hydrogen bonding, allowing the water to hold together
What is cohesion
Chemical substances that may feel slippery, have a high pH, and has more OH- than H+
What is alkaline or basic
What is the name of an organism that is made of many cells?
What is multicellular
The most specific level of taxonomy?
what is species
A chemical bond where electrons are shared equally between 2+ nuclei
What is a nonpolar covalent bond
Homeostasis of the temperature of living things is easier because of this property of water
What is a high heat capacity (takes a lot of energy to heat up water)
A substance that can absorb or release H+ ions so that the pH of a solution remains relatively stable despite the additions of acids or bases
What is a pH buffer
A kingdom of heterotrophic absorbers with hyphae
what are fungi
The 8 levels in the systematics hierarchy
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
The process of breaking the old bonds in the reactants and forming the new bonds in the product
What is a chemical reaction
The movement of water from the soil/mycorrhizal fungi into the roots of vascular plants, through the stems, and up into the leaves of the plant
What is transpiration
The pH of a solution that has equal concentrations of H+ ions and OH- ions
What is pH 7 (neutral pH)
