Biological classification
Kingdom -> Phylum -> Class -> Order -> Family -> Genus -> Species
Taxonomy
classifying based on shared characteristics
Charles Darwin
(1809-1882) Theory of the Survival of the Fittest
Morphology
Size and shape of an organism
Cellular Organization
Structures of cells and how they differ from other organisms (plants have chloroplasts, some cells have a nucleus, etc)
Evolutionary Relationships
Family tree- how we are closely related to monkeys
Different species are related to each other according to evolutionary or ancestral history. Ex-humans and their relatives
Embryological Similarities
We all look very similar when we start and then develop into the organisms we are. Embryos help tells who has a closer genetic relationship- they share a common ancestor which is why they tend to look similar
Biochemical Similarities
The evidence of how many forms of life diverge from one common ancestor. Biologically we are very similar
Genetic Similarities-
The extent to which family members are similar to one another, takes into account chromosomes, XY cells, XX cells, etc DNA similarities between organisms (Adel and Aidan)
Binomial nomenclature
The system of assigning a scientific name that consists of two parts
The scientific name always consists of two words: the genus and the species
\n
Phylogeny
The evolution history of an organism
Domains
Eukarya , Archea, Bacteria
Viruses
Viruses are not made of cells
They consist of two parts- DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat
The capsid is the protein coat that surrounds the DNA or RNA
Viral Capsid
Made of protein that enable virus to enter a host cell
Capsid has particular shape that must match receptors on the surface of the host cell
When virus attaches to these receptors they cell is tricked into letting the virus inside
How do viruses reproduce
Lytic Cycle- Virus replicates themselves immediately killing the host cell (bursts)- Fast
Lysogenic Cyc__le__- Virus replicates themselves in a way that does not kill host cell- Long
EndoSymbiotic Theory
The endosymbiotic theory posits that some eukaryotic cell organelles, such as mitochondria and plastids, evolved from free-living prokaryotes. Available data indicate that the mitochondrial endosymbiosis initiated the evolution of the eukaryotic cell, as suggested by Margulis.
Animila
Multicelluar, sexual and asexual reproduction, moltile,
Fungi
Multicelluar, chitin sell walls, sexual and asexual reproduction. hetrerotroph(mushrooms, yeast)
Plantae
Multicelluar, Autotrophs, cellwalls of celluose, (trees, flowers, grass)
Protista
Multicelluar, asexual or sexual reproduction, (alage. ameobas)
Archea Bacteria
unicellular, asexual, found in intense enviroments, cannot tolerate oxyegen/annorebic, (thermophiles, halophiles)
Eubacteria
Unicelluar, asexual and sexual, aids in human congestion, autotrophs or heterotrophs (e. coli, samenela)
