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
Prokarya Flagella
Tail that rotates like a propeller to the move the cell.
Ways of Classifying life
1. Are composed of cells
2. Reproduce using DNA
3. Grow and develop
4.Actively take in energy from their environment
5. sensetheir environment and repsond to it
6. maintain constant internal conditions.
7. can evolve
Animalia
Multi-cellular, have tissues oragns and systems. Segmantation and bi-laterally symmetrical. Have a backbone.
Fungi
Multi-cellular, an extensive system of Hypa which take on together to form the Mycelium.
