Domains
The three modern domains used by scientists.
What are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
The science of classifying organisms.
What is taxonomy?
Organisms without cell nuclei.
What are prokaryotes?
A vascular plant whose seeds are not enclosed; most produce cones.
What is a gymnosperm?
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was a lens grinder who was the first to observe this under a microscope.
What are bacteria?
Carolus Linnaeus is considered the Father of...
What is modern taxonomy?
A plant having seeds with a single cotyledon.
What is a monocot?
A plant having seeds with two cotyledons.
What is a dicot?
A vascular plant that bears flowers and fruit.
What are angiosperm?
This fungus is known to kill bacteria.
What is Penicillium?
The classification system involving two names for each organism.
A unicellular microorganism without a distinct nucleus.
What is a prokaryote?
The reaction of a plant to different stimuli.
What is tropism?
A conifer is a type of this.
Organisms in this domain can tolerate extreme conditions that most bacteria cannot.
What is Archaea?
The system of classifying plants and animals according to similar characteristics using a two-part naming system involving genus and species.
What is taxonomy?
Having a system of tubes to transport water and nutrients.
What is vascular?
An organism that makes its own food.
What is an autotroph?
A bean plant is a type of this.
What are angiosperm?
Examples from the domain Bacteria.
What are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Fusobacterium, Lactobacillus, Leptospira, or Spirochete?
The three main groups within the Protist kingdom with an example of each.
What is animal-like: amoebas or paramedium?
What is plant-like: algae or diatoms?
What is fungus-like: slime molds or downy mildew?
An organism that has a nucleus and belongs to the domain Eukarya.
What is eukaryote?
An organism that obtains food from other sources.
What is a heterotroph?
Two differences between a monocot and a dicot.
What are monocots have single cotyledons with parallel veins and dicots have two cotyledons with branching veins.
The fungi known to kill certain bacteria.
What is Penicillia?
