The Five Kingdoms
Plantae, Fungi, Animalia, Protista, and Prokaryotai
Prokaryotae
Eubacteria and Archaebacteria, presence of prokaryotic cell (cell that lacks membrane enclosed compartments.
Animalia
Multicellular, complex organization of many special cells, bring food into the body and digest it, sexual reproduction.
Plantae
Organisms acquire energy from sun photosynthesis, chloroplasts, cell walls.
Fungi
Grow directly from reproductive cells called spores. No photosynthesis.
Protista
Live in water or moist habitats. (Differ in many methods of doing things)
Nucleus
Membrane Organelle that houses DNA.
Ribosome
Constructed in nucleus site of protein and synthesis.
Mitochondria
Cellular respiration; releases energy from food molecules and stores.
Chloroplast
found only in plants. Has chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
Vacuole
structure in cytoplasm. Serves different purposes. Stores water and some form of wastes.
Hypertonic
A solution where the concentration of solutes outside a cell is greater than the concentration inside.
Hypotonic
Concentration of solutes outside the cell is less than inside.
Diffusion
Movement of substance down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated area.
Osmosis
Movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
Selectively permeable membrane
property of bio membranes that allow some substances to cross into the cell and prevents some from going in.
Active transport
Movement of substance across a bio membrane against concentration gradient with help of energy input and specific transport proteins.
Vestigial Structure
Structures that are functional in some species but useless in others.
Predation
The killing and consuming of prey. A pressure that many organisms face.
Kingdom
Largest and more broad form of classification.
Phylum
Second largest yet more specific form of classification.
Class
3rd largest and more specific form of classification.
Order
4th largest and more specific form of classification.
Family
5th largest and more specific form of classification.
Genus
second to last form of classification more specific.
Species
last form of classification most specific.
Carbon Dating
most reliable method of determining the age of rocks.
Descent with modifications
term Darwin used instead of evolution.
Theory Of Natural Selection
organisms will adapt to their environment (habitat) for survival.
Low Power Objective Lens
always begin with this power lens on a microscope (color red)
High Power Objective Lens
only use fine adjustment know for this particular lens. (Blue)
100X
Magnification level with a 10x objective and the eyepiece.
10X x (O) = TM
The eyepiece times the objective gives you the total magnification. (Equation).
