Bio Chap. 1

Front 1

Kingdoms

Back 1

The chief taxonomic category. This book recognizes six of these: Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Animalia, and Plantae.

Front 2

Archaea

Back 2

This kingdom of prokaryotes (simple cells that do not have nuclei) includes this methanogen, which manufactures methane.

Front 3

Bacteria

Back 3

This group is the secon of the two prokaryotic kingdoms. Example is purple sulfur, which are able to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front 4

Protista

Back 4

Most of the unicellular eukaryotes (those whose cells contain a nucleus) are grouped into this kingdom, and so are multicellular algae.

Front 5

Fungi

Back 5

This kingdom contains nonphotosynthetic organisms, mostly multi-cellular, that digest their food externally such as mushrooms.

Front 6

Plantae

Back 6

This kingdom contains photosynthetic multicellular organisms that are primarily terrestrial such as a flowering plant.

Front 7

Animalia

Back 7

Organisms in this kingdom are nonphotosynthetic multicellular organisms that digets their food internally such as a ram.

Front 8

Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

Back 8

What are the six kingdoms of life?

Front 9

Cellular Organization, Metabolism, Homeostasis, Growth and Reproduction, and Heredity

Back 9

What are the five basic properties o all living things?

Front 10

Cellular Organization

Back 10

One or more cells.

Front 11

Membrane

Back 11

A cell is a tiny compartment with a thin covering called this...

Front 12

Metabolism

Back 12

The process by which all living things assimilateenergy and use it to grow. An example is the transfer of energy from one form to another in cells. A bird eating a fish that eat algae is an example of this.

Front 13

Homeostais

Back 13

The maintaining of a relatively stable internal physiological environment in an organism or steady-state equilibrium in a poopulation or ecosystem.

Front 14

Growth and Reproduction

Back 14

Complex organisms that grow by inreasing the nuber of cells and reproducing sexually.

Front 15

Heredity

Back 15

The transmisson chracteristics from prent to offspring.

Front 16

Cellular, Organismal, and Populational

Back 16

What are the three hierarchy of increasing complexity in the organizaion of life?

Front 17

Hierarchy

Back 17

Increasing complexity within cells.

Front 18

Atoms

Back 18

The fundamental elements of matter.

Front 19

Molecules

Back 19

Atoms are joined together into complex clusters called these...

Front 20

Macromolecules

Back 20

Large complex molecules, such as DNA

Front 21

Organelles

Back 21

Complex bioogical molecules that are assembled into tiny compartments within cells.

Front 22

Cells

Back 22

Organelles and othr elements are assembled into membrane-bounded units we call this...they are the smallest level or organization that can be considered alive.

Front 23

Atoms, Molecules, Macromolecules, Organelles, and Cells

Back 23

What are the five heirarchy of increasing complexity within cells?

Front 24

Organismal Level

Back 24

This is the second section of cells that are organized into four lvels of complexity.

Front 25

Tissues, Organs, Organ Systems, Organism

Back 25

What are the four levels within the Organismal Level of cell complexity?

Front 26

Tissue

Back 26

A group of similar cells organized into a stuctural and functional unit such as nerves.

Front 27

Organs

Back 27

Body structures composed of several different tissues that form a structural and functional unit. An example would be the brain.

Front 28

Organ Systems

Back 28

A group of organs that function together to carry out the principal activities of the body.

Front 29

Organism

Back 29

Any individual living creature, either unicelliular or multicellular.

Front 30

Populational Level

Back 30

This is organized into several hierarchical leels witin the living world.

Front 31

Population

Back 31

A group of organisms of the same species living in the same place. For example, a flock of geese.

Front 32

Species

Back 32

All the populations of a particular kind of organism. For example, all Canada geese.

Front 33

Community

Back 33

This consists of all the populations of different species living together in one place. Geese living with ducks, fish, grasses, and many kinds of insects is an example.

Front 34

Ecosystem

Back 34

A biological community and the soil and watyer within which it lives together constitutes this.

Front 35

Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya

Back 35

We classify all living organisms into domains. The domains are called...

Front 36

Have a suitable control group

Back 36

In any experiment, one must be certain to...

Front 37

Cellular Organization

Back 37

Paleobotanists study fossilized plant material. Which property of life can a paleobotanist directly observe in a plant fossil?
