taxonomy

identifying, classifying, naming species

how to classify

mode of nutrition (ingestive/absorptive)

can it move (motile)

multicellular/unicellular

how it gets food (heterotroph/autotroph)

nucleus? (eukaryotic or prokaryotic)

heterotroph

finds food elsewhere

autotroph

makes its own food

eukaryotic

has a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles

prokaryotic

no nucleus or membrane bound organelles

prokaryotic cell: unicellular organism

one

prokaryotic cell: filamentous

in a string

prokaryotic cell: colonial

in a clump

binomal nomenclature

tells genus and species

order: Genus, species

archaea

eukarya (complex cells)

eukaryotes

all organisms with complex cells

kingdom fungi

decompose organic wastes and absorb the nutrients into their cells

kingdom plantae

produce their own food thru photosynthesis

kingdom animilia

obtain their food thru eating other organisms

taxon

example within grouping (ie. homo sapiens)

category

general grouping (ie. species)

archaea

live in extreme environments

structural levels

biosphere → ecosystem → community → population → organism → organs → tissue → cell → organelle → molecule

what defines a living thing

1. order and structure

2. made of genetic material

3. maintain homeostasis

4. reproduction

5. adapt to environment

6. growth and development

7. get and use energy (metabolism)

8. can undergo evolution

homeostasis

ideal conditions for living things—temp, pH, etc—internal

adaptation to environment

external
