everywhere!!!
4 kingdoms of the domain eukaryote

classification
Which is HIGHER? (More broad/includes more organisms)
Domain
Family

Domain
True or False?
They have a cell wall
True (although it is funky)
Can bacteria be "good"? Give an example
obviously, many answers are correct. we discussed:
-digestive bacteria
-medicine
single celled/(or simple) eukaryotes that evolved form the first bacteria
protists
a tool used to identify organisms and consists of the answers to a series of questions
dichotomous key
Scientific Names are made up of two parts. What are those parts?
Genus Species
What is its 1 Kingdom?
Archaebacteria
True or False
Has a cell wall
True
complex, multicellular decomposers
fungi
WHY do we classify organisms? (name ALL 3 reasons)
To find out
-how many species are out there?
-What are the defining characteristics of each species?
-What are the relationships between these species
What is the name of the tool used to show evolutionary relationships among speies
Cladogram
Give an example of where an Archaea could be found
Many available answers.
extreme (some are found in regular environments, like the open ocean)
Some bacteria are autotrophs, some are hetreotrophs.
What is the difference?
Autotrophs make their own food.
Heterotrophs need to consume their food.
Eukaryote that is a consumer, and reacts quickly to its environment
animals!
