Derived Trait
|
any trait was not possessed by a recent common ancestor by is now possessed by a group
|
|
Convergent Trait
|
any trait has evolved (been derived) separately in unrelated groups
|
|
Chemo
|
Get enery by breaking things down
|
|
Photo
|
Sun provides energy
|
|
Autotroph
|
Gets carbon from carbon dioxide
|
|
Heterotroph
|
Takes or steals carbon from others, through eating or other means,
|
|
Covalent Bonds
|
Linking atoms due to sharing electrons to form molecules. Very strong,
|
|
Ionic Bonds
|
Also known as a noncovalent bond. An atom loses an electron, the electron is NOT shared, it is lost. much weaker.
|
|
Hydrogen Bonds
|
Important to life, allows water to flow, allows blod to flow through veins, allows water to flow from roots up to rest of the plant.
|
|
Isotopes
|
When an atom has more neutrons than protons. Example is carbon 14
|
|
Hydrophilic
|
Water loving. Part of creating the cell membrane using Phospolipids. The heads are "hydrophilic."
|
|
Hydrophobic
|
Fears or hates water. Part of creating the cell membrane using Phospolipids. The tails are "hydrophobic."
|
|
Gymnosperms
|
Naked seend, no ovary, use pollen to reproduce
|
|
Angiosperm
|
Protected seeds, use bugs to spread their seed; tricks them. Have ovaries, also use fruit to spread seeds. Typically includes leaf and flower characteristics
|
|
Prokaryotes
|
Single celled; primitive, has a cell wall and cell membrane but have no organelles. Ex: no Nucleus that encloses DNA; they have a nucleiod.
|
|
Eukaryotes
|
single or multicelled; has a cell wall/membrane. also has organelles with enclosed DNA.
|
|
Prokaryotes Consist of
|
Archaea and Bacteria
|
|
Eukaryotes consist of
|
Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia
|
|
Protista
|
Primarily single-celled, very diverse, many are sexually reproducing. Ex: Amoeba, diaton, algae, kelp.
|
|
Plantae
|
Multi-cellular, evluationary trend mainly improved reproductions and energy gathering abilities, they have cellulose, cuticle, a vascular system, and are photosynthetic.
|
|
Cellulose
|
Part of the cell wall, Rigid and hard, it enables the plant to stand tall or stand-up straight.
|
|
Cuticle
|
Waxy covering on leaves that keeps plants from shedding water and to keep water in.
|
|
Vascular System
|
Distributes water and other natrients all around the plant.
|
|
The Beginning
|
Descendants of simple algaea invaded land about 430 million yars ago.
|
|
Haploid
|
Gametophyte (1 set of chromosomes)
|
|
Diploid
|
Sporophyte (2 sets of chromosomes)
|
|
Byrophytes
|
Nonvascular, restricted in size and area du eto small vascular system, haploid gametophyte is the dominate stage. Ex: Mosses, liverworts, hornworts.
|
|
Lycophytes
|
Seedless vascular plants, includes ferns. 97% of these plants live in the tropics.
|
|
Gymnosperms
|
Plants with naked seeds; use pollen, they lack ovaries Ex: Conifers, cycads, gnetophytes and ginkos
|
|
Monocot (angiosperms)
|
Grass, orchids and palms
|
|
Dicots (angiosperms)
|
Sunflowers, peas, and apples.
|
|
Amino Acids
|
Monomers that make up proteins, which are critical to life; they all have the same general structure.
|
|
Monomers
|
Small organic molecules
|
|
Polymers
|
lots of monomers together
|
|
Carbohydrates
|
Sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, but also include cellulose and starch.
|
|
Nucleotides
|
The basis of heredity in living organisms, a monomer with three components:Sugar(hexagon), Nitrogenous group(square) , and phosphate group. (circle)
|
|
Golgi Apparatus
|
Directs the movements of molecules in the cell.
|
|
Lysosomes
|
Breaks down micromoluecules (recycling center)
|
|
Ribosomes
|
Creates new proteins associated with rough endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
Makes proteins, associated with Ribosomes
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
|
creates lipids.
|
|
Mitochondria
|
Breaks down sugars to create ATP or energy. Uses an aeorbic process. (uses oxygen)
|
|
Vesicles
|
Store and move molecules
|
|
Cell membrane
|
comprised of phospholipid layers
|
|
Capsule
|
protective layer on some bacteria
|
|
Nucleus or Nucleoid
|
DNA is stored here.
Nucleus - Eukaryotes Nucleoid - Prokaryotes |
|
Vacuoles
|
filled with water. (plants)
|
|
Chloroplasts
|
Capture energy from the sun using photosynthesis (plants.)
|
|
Cell wall
|
Made up of Polysaccharides (plants)
|
|
Cilia
|
Hair-like structures tha twork like oars moving back and forth.
|
|
Eukarya Flagella
|
Tail that works in a wave motion
|
|

Tail that rotates like a propeller to the move the cell.
|
|
Ways of Classifying life
|
