1

Evolution

Change in characteristics over a period of time.

New cards
2

How does natural selection contribute to evolution?

Organisms more adapted to the environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.

New cards
3

Necessary components of natural selection

Struggle for existence, variation, and inheritance.

New cards
4

Positive selection

An allele favored by natural selection

New cards
5

Negative selection

Removal of an allele NOT favored by natural selection

New cards
6

Taxonomic levels (most to least inclusive)

Domain → Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species

“Did King Philip Come Over For Good Soup?”

New cards
7

Binomial Nomenclature

Divided by genus and then species.

Genus must be capitalized. Species is lowercase. Latin root words and is either underlined or italicized.

New cards
8

Three domains of life and their characteristics

-Bacteria: Peptidoglycan cell wall, prokaryotic, single-celled
-Archaea: Prokaryotic, single-celled,
-Eukarya: Eukaryotic, multicellular,

New cards
9

Evolutionary changes demonstrated by the organisms within the Volvocine line

Increases in complexity of colonies, increased contact between cells of colonies

New cards
10

Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Prokaryotes: No true nucleus, unicellular, asexual reproduction, no membrane bound organelles

Eukaryotes: True nucleus, multicellular, sexual (and asexual) reproduction, membrane bound organelles

New cards
11

Most prokaryotes are not _, and many engage in _ relationships with other organisms

pathogenic, mutualistic

New cards
12

Extremophile

Organisms that live in extreme conditions

New cards
13

Autotroph

Organism able to form their own food for energy from carbon. Undergoes photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

New cards
14

Heterotroph

Eats other organisms for energy.

New cards
15

Binary Fission

Asexual reproduction by separation of the body.

New cards
16

Anaerobic

Doesn’t need oxygen.

New cards
17

Three common shapes of bacteria

What are the various shapes of bacteria? - Quora

New cards
18

Oil immersion technique- why is it used?

To increase the resolving power/magnification of the microscope by immersing both the lens and specimen in the oil.

New cards
19

Difference between a wet mount slide and a prepared slide

Wet mount: Live specimen with a drop of water. Not permanent.

Prepared slide: Already has been made and is preserved using chemicals. Permanent.

New cards
20

Gram stain (interpret)

Purple = Gram positive (thick peptidoglycan)

Pink/red = Gram negative (thin peptidoglycan)

New cards
21

Nitrogen fixing bacteria and their importance to plants

Transforms atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen. Has a symbiotic relationship with plants by living in root nodules and providing nitrogen to plant. Plant supplies carbon to bacteria.

New cards
22

What are cyanobacteria

Bacteria capable of oxygenic photosynthesis. Releases oxygen and uses water.

26

How does a bacterial sensitivity plate work?

Shows the growth versus no growth of an organism. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing: View as single page | OLCreate

New cards
27

What can be learned from measuring zone of inhibition?

Determines the organism’s ability to grow and survive with certain nutrients.

New cards
28

Why are protists no longer classified as a kingdom

Protists themselves don’t have much in common with each other.

New cards
29

Protists are all _, but they posses a great diversity of other _

Eukaryotes, characteristics

New cards
30

How protists gain nutrition

Algae: by photosynthesis

Protozoa: by phagocytosis

New cards
31

How some protists defend themselves

Fast movement, release of toxins, presence of cellulose or silica walls, etc.

New cards
32

Algae are distinguished by their cellular organization

-Unicellular

-Filamentous

-Colonial

New cards
33

Three most common methods of movement among single-celled protists

-Cilia (little hairs)

-Flagella

-Pseudopodia

What mycorrhizae are

Symbiotic relationship between fungus and plant.

Fungus attaches to the root of plants and become an extension of the plant’s root system. The fungi gets nutrients from the plant while the plant gains more nutrients.
