What is the scientific name for the bowfin, amia calva, a type of fresh water fish?

Bowfin amia calva, should be italicized

Why are scientific names important to use?

allows people throughout the world to communicate about animal species

list major taxonomy groups from smallest to highest

species, genus, family, order, class, phyllum, kingdom

classification of species and groups of organisms

taxonomy

relationships and methods used in taxonomic scheme

systematics

line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor

geneology

the evolution of a group of organisms

phylogeny

type of systematic that recognizes a specie by sharing unique traits that was present in their common ancestor


(a phylogenetic tree is used in this type)

cladistics

type of systematic that uses biochemical techniquees to compare orgonomic base sequences of a gene between species

molecular taxonomy

three domains of life

eukaryae, archaea, bacteria

are 2 domains of life closer to each other than the other

yes, archaea and bacteria and both prokaryotic

division of a singlee entity into 2 or more parts and the regeneration of these parts

fission

direct transfer of DNA from one bacterial cell to another

conjugation

genetic alteration of a cell from the direct incorporation of genetic material from its surroundings

tansformation

provides an explanation on how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells

endosymbiotic theory

postulates of endosymbiotic theory

*prokaryotes lived in other cells


*nonphotosynthetic prokaryotes evolved into plastids (chloroplasts)


*nucleus originated via inpouching of plasma mambrane that surrounded DNA this formed endoplasmic recticulum

supergroup that has a feeding groove, motified mitochandria, flagella, is photosynthetic, parasites, predators (exp diplomonads, parabasilids, euglenazoans)

chromalveolata

characteristic flagella (exp diatoms, brown algae)

stramenopiles



supergroup that is unicellular with thread like pseudopod and undergoes phagocyytosis

rhizzaria

these increase surface area (false feet)

pseudopods

to eat cells

phagocytosis

supergroup that is lobed or tube shaped pseudopods and is free living and parasitic (exp slime molds)

ameobozoa

origin of multicellular organisms

evolved from prokaryotes

supergroup that can be uni/multicellular. arrose from a colonial, ancient protist that engulfed a cyonobacteria, nonmobile, has cell wall

archaplasitida

what kingdom is archaeplastida

plantidae

major group in archaeplastida supergroup that lacks complex vascular tissue, thallus

non-vascular plants

group of cells that have a sort of seperation of function

colonial

means do not have true leaves, stems or roots

thallus

phyla in the nonvascular plants

chlorophyta, bryophyta

small damp terrestrial areas, waxy covering, thallus, sperm move through water

charaacteristics of bryophyta

stage in plants that is the most obvious, dominant, and longest lived

gamenophyte stage

plant stage that grows out and is dependent on the gametophyte stage

sporophyte stage

major group of plantidae and has vascular tissue

vascular plants

type of plant thats in tropics, moist temperate areas, sperm move in water,, has vascular tissue and cuticle, sporophyte generation

seedless vascular plants

group that moves water and minerals absorbed by the roots

xylem

group that move products of photosynthesis

phloem

type of plant that can withstand harsh enviroments, serves as vehicle of dispersion, diploid, germinates,

seed producing vascular plants

enclosed seed, flowering plants,

angiosperm

floral organs

sepals, petals, stamens, pistils

male reproductive part in flower

stamens

female reproductive structure in flower

pistol

male gametes, tube that digests its way through tissue to female gametophyte

polen grain

this group is multicellular, has hyphae, cell wall, septa, fruiting structures, heterokaryotic, heterotrophic with external digestion, saprobes

fungi

most common type of sexual reprodduction in fungi

spores

organisms obtain nutrients by decomposing dead organisms or organic matter

saprobes

are fungi involved in symbiotic relationships with other supergroups

yes fungi has a sybiotic relationship between lichen and cyanobacteria

vacuum cleaners of the sea, cavity lined with flagellated collar cells, has asymmetrical and radial symmetry

porifera

radially symmetrical (sac with single opening surrounded with tentacles), cnidocytes with nematocytes, rudimentary nervous system, muscle like cells (exps hydras, corals, sea anenome, jelly fish)

cnidaria

acoelaomate (no body), turbellarians free living, trematodes, flukes, cystodes tapeworms, can be hemaphroditic or monoecious or dioecious, billaterally symmetrical

platyhelminthes

seperate sexes (2 houses)

dioescious

long and thin, mono/diescious, complete digestive tract, external cuticle and body wall, tube w/i a tube body plan, longitudinal muscles, pseudocoelum

nematoda

false body cavity, not line with tissue of mesodermal origin

pseudocoelum

one of the 3 germ layer that produces various structures and organs

mesoderm

has a head region, visceral mass, foot, and mantle, circulatory and digestive systems,coelum, gills, radula

mullusca

true body cavity lined with tissue of musodermal origin

coelom

tongue like structure out of mouth exchange gases, filter feeding

radula

symmetry around a central axis, as in a starfish or a tulip flower.

radial symmetry

symmetrical arrangement of an organism along a central axis, so that the organism or part can be divided into two equal halves.

bilateral symmetry

the absence of symmetry in organisms

asymmetry

an invertebrate lacking a coelom; especially : one belonging to the group comprising the flatworms and nemerteans and characterized by bilateral symmetry and a digestive cavity that is the only internal cavity.

acoelomate

false body cavity, any of a group of invertebrates with a three-layered body that has a fluid-filled body cavity between the endoderm and the mesoderm (the innermost and middle tissue layers

pseudocoelomate

the main body cavity in most multicellular animals and is positioned inside the body to surround and contain the digestive tract and other organs.

coelomate

characteristics of protosomes

egg cleavage is determinant and spiral


mouth arises from blastopore

zygote has underwent a few divisions and the cell is making up the early embryo are seperated and each cell can only form a partial individual
