What are the 6 Kingdoms of life?
Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plant, Animal
Archaea
-prokaryotic
-single celled extremophiles (lovers of extreme environments)
Bacteria
prokaryotic, single- celled, bacteria and blue- green algae (Cyanobacteria)
Protista
- eukaryotic
- some single- celled, some are multi- celled.
- photosynthesizing
Fungi
-eukaryotic
mostly multi celled (except yeast)
- no photosynthesis
- heterotrophic but only absorb nutrition. Includes mushrooms and molds
plant
- eukaryotic
- multi celled
- autotrophic by photosynthesis
animal
eukaryotic, multi celled, heterotrophic by ingestion.
species
look similar, interbreed producing fertile offspring
scientific names of species
binomial nomenclature
who is carl linnaeus
a1700’s swedish biologist considered “father” of Taxonomy.
why latin?
it made sense at the time, everyone who went to high school knew Latin so it was much simpler to use. Developed groups of living things called “taxa”
What are the 7 sub- categories of each kingdom
- Kingdom
- Phylum
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
Classifying Humans (from specific to general)
- Kingdom- Animalia
- Phylum- Chordata
- Class- Mammalia
- Order- Primates
- Family- Hominidae
- Genus- Homo
- Species- Homo sapiens
Examples of dispersal
- Coconuts float
- maple fruits- helicopter
- dandelion fruits- parachute
Monocots
Seed has one cotyledon
Dicot
Seed has two cotyledons
Function of Liverwort
Painkiller similar to the THC in marijuana
Phylum Bryophyta (FAKE)
- reproduce by small spores
- single celled
- no vascular system
- root like , stem like, and leaf like
EX: LIVERWORTS + MOSSES
Phylum Tracheophyta (T for TRUE)
- circulatory system
- true roots, steam and leaf structures
Classes of Tracheophyta
a. ferns- reproduce by smalls single- celled spores
b. gymnosperms- reproduce by tiny seeds. they don’t repoduce flowers or fruits b ecuase they produce seeds in cones
EX: PINCECONES
c. Angiosperms- reproduce by seeds that are the products of flowers and subsequent fruits. Some monocots, some diocts.
