What is Binomial Nomenclature? How do we write it?

two part scientific name consisting of a genus and species (UNDERLINED)

What are the 8 taxonomical groups?

DKPCOFGS

Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

Show an example of hierarchial classification

Evidence used to determine phylogenic relationships

Domains and 6 kingdoms explanation. What kingdoms belong to what domains

three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

six kingdoms include Archaea and Bacteria, Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Protists within Eukarya.

What kingdoms are unicellular

What kingdoms are multicellular

What kingdoms are heterotrophs

What kingdoms are autotrophs

Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

What kingdoms have cell walls

eukaryote

true nucleus, cells have a membrane bound nucleus, more complex

prokaryote

before the nucleus, most ancient, less complex

unicellular

Organisms made up of a single cell. This includes bacteria and some protists.

multicellular

Organisms made up of multiple cells, specializing cells to perform specific functions

heterotroph

organism that obtains energy by consuming other organisms

autotroph

organism obtaining energy by making its own food, usually from sunlight

eubacteria

true bacteria that lives in common places: e. coli, strep bacteria, mycobacterium

archaea

lives in extreme conditions: hot springs, extreme pH conditions (stomach acid)

asexual vs sexual reproduction

asexual: one parent creates genetically identical offspring (binary fission, budding, fragmentation), can be found in all kingdoms

sexual: two parents create genetically distinct offspring only found in the eukarya domain

cell wall

a tough and protective layer that surrounds most cells:

plants, fungus, and bacteria

animals don’t have a cell wall

gene pool

all the genes of all the individuals in a population

population

a group of individuals of the same species in a specific area at a specific time

resilience

the ability of an ecosystem to remain functional while experiencing disturbances

abiotic vs biotic factors

why is genetic diversity important

why is species diversity important

why is ecosystem diversity important
