22. List 3 fungi that are harmful.
23. fungi can reproduce either ____________ or asexually by ____________,_________,
or ____________.
1. Taxonomy is the science of classification, involving the naming and grouping of organisms based on their similarities and differences.
2. a. Evolutionary relationships b. Morphological characteristics c. Genetic similarity d. Ecological roles
3. Carolus Linnaeus came up with the system of Binomial Nomenclature, which is the naming of species with a two-part Latin name, consisting of the genus and species name.
4. Binomial Nomenclature is the system of naming species with a two-part Latin name, consisting of the genus and species name.
5. A Cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships and common ancestry between different organisms in a branching diagram.
6. The 3 domains are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
7. Prokaryotes are found in the Domain Bacteria. Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus.
8. The 2 types of Asexual Reproduction Prokaryotes use are binary fission and budding.
9. Bacteria were first classified by shape and staining properties. Now they are classified based on genetic analysis.
10. The 4 shapes of Bacteria are cocci (round), bacilli (rod-shaped), spirilla (spiral-shaped), and vibrio (comma-shaped).
11. Archaea are in their own Domain because they have unique molecular characteristics and live in extreme environments.
12. An example of Archaea is Methanogens.
13. Bacteria are important to our environment because they play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and decomposition, and some are used in food production and medicine.
14. Bacteria help return Carbon to the atmosphere through processes like photosynthesis, which is helpful to us because it maintains a balance in the carbon cycle and provides oxygen for living organisms.
15. a. Protista b. Fungi c. Plantae d. Animalia
16. Protists reproduce sexually or asexually, have eukaryotic cells, obtain food through various methods, and examples include amoebas and algae. They have structures like cilia or flagella for movement.
17. The 3 examples of Fungi are mushrooms, yeasts, and molds.
18. Fungi are mainly multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes. Fungi do not photosynthesize.
19. The cells of Fungi are more Animal-like because they have cell walls made of chitin, like in insects.
20. Humans eat mushrooms, make bread and ferment alcohol with yeast.
21. Some fungi produce antibiotics like penicillin and cephalosporins, which are used to cure bacterial diseases.
22. Harmful fungi include Candida, Aspergillus, and Histoplasma.
23. Fungi can reproduce either sexually or asexually by spores, budding, or fragmentation.
