Lesson 1
The two types of characteristics that scientists compare when classifying organisms.
Physical characteristics & chemical characteristics
A microscopic particle that cannot replicate on it’s own.
Virus
The two ways in which Fungi reproduce
Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction
A plant embryo enclosed in a protective coating
A seed
Organisms with a backbone
Vertebrates
Carolus Linnaeus created scientific names for living things using these two types of names.
ex: Puma concolor
Species & Genus
The two domains of Proharyotes
Bacteria & Archaea
The three types of asexual reproduction in fungi
Fragmentation, budding, & spores
Vascular Plants that produce seeds surrounded by flowers and fruits
Angiosperms
An animal that eats other organisms, or parts of organisms, to get the energy it needs for life processes.
Consumer
The science of describing, classifying, and naming living things.
Taxonomy
Reproduction in which one single-celled organism splits into two single-celled organisms.
Binary fission
A reproductive cell that unites with another reproductive cell
Gamete
The male reproductive structure of flowers
Stamen
Hard external covering , which supports the body of an invertebrate
Exoskeleton
The eight levels of scientific classification.
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
The three ways in which bacteria exchange DNA
Transformation, transduction, & conjugation
Reproductive cells that are resistant to stressful environmental conditions
Spores
The female reproductive structure of a flower
Pistil
Three traits unique to birds
Hollow bones, wings, feathers
The three types of domains
Bacteria - prokaryotes with cell walls & reproduce through cell division
Archaea - prokaryotes that reproduce by cell division
Eukarya - Eukaryotes, cells that have a nucleus & membrane-bound organelles
The cycle where viruses burst out of the host cell, killing it. The new viruses then find new host cells, and the cycle begins again.
Lytic Cycle
The three major types of fungi
Zygote fungi, Sac fungi, Club fungi
Transports water and nutrients through a plants body
The vascular system
Along with vertebrates these two invertebrates are part of a group of animals called chordates
Tunicates and lancelets
