Morphology
when species are defined on a set of physical characteistics (judging a book by its cover much...smh)
genetic diversity
the genetic variability among organisms; usually referring to individuals of the same species (like humans!@1)
new reasons why no biodiversity is bad (dont say food chain you pleb)
loss of medicines and new potential medicines
disruptions in carbon cycle (global warming)
taxonomy
The scientific study of how living things are classified (loser)
niche
a place for an animal where it is best fitted
Biogeochemical
the process of chemicals moving from organisms to organisms and biosphere (think cycles)
what do the Domain Archea and bacteria have in common
they both have 1 kingdom of the save name
THEY ARE BOTH PROKARYOTIC
pathogenic (ewww)
Causing or able to cause disease
autotroph (what + example)
self produces (think automatic)
Endosymbiosis (what + example) (venom)
symbiosis in which one of the symbiotic organisms lives inside the other. mycorrihizae (plant and fungi fuse)
structural diversity
the range of physical shapes and sizes within a habitat or ecosystem (biggg bear tiny bees)
species diversity
variety in an ecosystem + # of selfs in each species
archae are....
thermophiles - live in extreme temperatures
methanogens - microorganisims that produce methane
binomial nomenclature
genus - species
taxonomic ranks (in order)
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
six kingdoms of life
Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
what is bacterias additional outlayer called
capsid
clade
a grouping that includes a common ancestor and all the descendants (living and extinct) of that ancestor
Phylogeny
Evolutionary history of a species
Prokaryote
no membrane, unicellular, first organism,
bacteria shapes
coccus (round) bacillus (rod) spirochete (spiral)
quanity of bacteria shape names
diolo(name) pair - strepto~chain - staphilo~cluster
e coli
many strains many harmless but can cause digestional issues
how are archae classified
environment + genetic make up (i cant take it anymore)
common between protist and archea
they got that same ancestor fam
shigella dysenteriae
common stomach bug (uber contagious)
what type of kingdom has autotrophes, heterotrophes, and parasites (malaria)
protista!!! (plasmodium causes malaria)
giardia lambilia (beaver fever)
common intestinal parasite (they found me) (protist)
Trich
vag std (men can get it to but are assymptomatic) symptomes are itchiness (protist)
good fungi
porphya- nori, toothpaste, medicine
most common place to find protists
waterrr they are super important to the aqautic ecosystem either as hetero or auto
mycellium
is what breaks down + absorbes stuff for growth
hyphae
the indiviudal STRANDS that make the overarching hive mind that is the menace of mycellium (dramatic af description but im very slowkey losing it)
mycorrizahe mnkbnbjjhkjhkkn
fungi gets sugar and nutrients from plants and plant gets stuff for fungi from soil (phosphor)
lichen
The combination of a fungus and algae/cyanobacteria. fungi gives co2 + h20 and algae carbs. these detect most air pollutants
germinate
to begin to grow, come into being
diploid
product from 2 organisms (you)
dikaryotic
2 or more nuclei in a cell (most fungi)
fungi adaptations
extracellular digestion and reproduction being sex/asex or both
