Non- Vascular Plants

No Vascular Tissue (xylem and Phloem cell) for transporting water and minerals throughout the plant body.

Need moist environment in order to grow and reproduce

Vascular Plants

Have xylem and phloem

Ferns

seedless vascular plants

GYMNOSPERMS

Carolus Linnaeus

Father of Modern Taxonomy

Prokaryotic

– Cells that lack of nucleus

Eukaryotic

cells that contain nucleus

Unicellular

single celled

Multicellular Cells

made up of many cells

Autotrophic

can make their own food

Heterotrophic

can not make their own food

Domain

is the broadest taxonomic category. A single domain can contain one or more kingdom

Arachaea

very primitive, forms of bacteria

Eubacteria

more advanced forms of bacteria

Eukaryota

All life form with eukaryotic cells

Bacteria

they are unicellular, prokaryotic, live everywhere around us

Domain Archaea

They are unicellular, prokaryotic some are autotrophic and others are heterotrophic

Protista

Mostly unicellular and microscopic

Autotrophic or heterotrophic

Can be infectious agents

Invertebrates

Animals without backbone

Vertebrates

Animals with backbone

Kingdom Animalia

Multicellular

Heterotrophic

Reproduce sexually, but some animals can reproduce asexually by budding,

fragmentation.

No cell wall

Can move during some stages of their life.

PHYLUM PORIFERA

Simplest multicellular organisms

Lack of true tissues and organs but the individual cells can sense and react to

changes in the environment.

PHYLUM CNIDARIA

Aquatic, live in the sea,

All have tentacles, that contain CNIDOCYTES

PHYLUM PLATHELMINTHES

Flat worm (Tapeworm, Planaria, Blood Fluke)

Can reproduce both asexually and sexually

Hermaphroditic, Parasitic

PHYLUM NEMATODA

Round worms

PHYLUM ANNELIDA

Segmented worm

PHYLUM ARTHROPODA

Comprises the largest group of an organisms

Possess an external skeleton – carapace

CLASS INSECTA

three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings, two antennae

CLASS ARACHNIDS

Eight legs

CLASS CRUSTACEA

Two pairs of sensory antennae

PHYLUM MOLLUSCA

characterized by having a tissue called mantle

CLASS GASTROPODA

Stomach foot, produce a shell some lack of shells

CLASS BIVALIA

posses two shells

CLASS CEPHALOPODA

predatory carnivores

PHYLUM ECHINODERMATA

Characterized by bumps or spines on their skin

PHYLUM CHORDATA

Possess the following characteristics during their embryonic stages of development

CLASS AGNATHA

fishes without jaws, like lampreys

CLASS CHONDRICHTHYES

fishes with cartilage skeleton, not bone

CLASS OSTEICHTHYES

Bony fishes, most numerous of all vertebrates.

CLASS AMPHEBIAN

Live both in land and water, Skin is covered by mucous and must remain moist.

CLASS REPTELIA

Have scales, dry to touch, eggs have leathery shells, exothermic or cold blooded,

CLASS AVES

Have feathers and lay eggs with shell,

bones are lightweight for flight, endothermic or warm-blooded.

CLASS MAMMALIA

With fur, or hair, have mammary glands

MONOTREMES

lay eggs like reptiles, but have milk and fur, but no nipples.

MARSUPIALS

The young are born as very immature embryos and most crawl to their mother’s pouch to continue their development.

PLACENTAL MAMMALS

Complete embryonic development takes place within the mothers’ uterus and young nourished across placenta

Kingdom

The highest classification category in the Linnaean system.

Dinoflagellates

Algal bloom or ‘‘red tide’’ that produce toxic substance which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning is due to the proliferation.
