1. Taxonomy is the science of classifying and categorizing organisms based on their characteristics.
2. Taxonomists study the diversity of organisms and use a system to organize them into groups in terms of their a. characteristics b. relationships c. similarities d. differences
3. Carolus Linnaeus came up with the system of Binomial Nomenclature.
4. Binomial Nomenclature is the system of naming organisms using two words, the genus and species name.
5. A Cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships between different organisms in a branching diagram, based on shared characteristics.
6. The 3 domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.
7. The Domain Bacteria contains Prokaryotes. Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus.
8. The 2 types of Asexual Reproduction Prokaryotes use are binary fission and budding.
9. Bacteria were first classified based on their shape, but now they are classifying them based on genetic similarities.
10. The 4 shapes of Bacteria are cocci (e.g. Staphylococcus), bacilli (e.g. Escherichia coli), spirilla (e.g. Treponema), and vibrios (e.g. Vibrio cholerae).
11. Archaea are in their own Domain because they have unique biochemical and genetic characteristics that set them apart from Bacteria and Eukarya.
12. An example of Archaea is Methanogens.
13. Bacteria are important to our environment because they play key roles in recycling nutrients, decomposing organic matter, and producing oxygen.
14. Bacteria help return carbon to the atmosphere through processes like photosynthesis, which is essential for maintaining a balance in the carbon cycle and supporting life on Earth.
15. The 4 kingdoms of Eukarya are Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
16. Characteristics of the Protista Kingdom include diverse reproductive methods, mostly eukaryotic cells, obtaining food through various methods, examples of Protists include amoebas and algae, and structures for movement include cilia and flagella.
17. The 3 examples of Fungi are mushrooms, yeast, and mold.
18. Fungi are mainly multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes. Fungi do not photosynthesize.
19. The cell walls and chitin content of Fungi make their cells more Animal-like.
20. Humans eat mushrooms, make bread, and ferment alcohol using Fungi.
21. Some fungi produce antibiotics like penicillin and streptomycin, which have proved extremely useful in medicine as cures for bacterial diseases.
22. Three harmful fungi are Candida, Aspergillus, and Cryptococcus.
23. Fungi can reproduce either sexually or asexually by spores, fragmentation, or budding.
24. Lichens and mycorrhiza exist in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship where the fungi provide nutrients and protection to the algae or plant, while the algae or plant provide carbohydrates to the fungi.
