Study of animals |
Zoology |
|
An understanding of the evolutionary process explains the family relationship among animals and how the great variety of animals arose. |
Zoology |
|
Wise man or knowing man |
Humans |
|
Is a collection of properties that help to distinguish living from nonliving things |
Life |
|
What are the components of life |
Organization Cellular composition Biochemical unity Metabolism Excitability Homeostasis Growth Development Reproduction Evolution |
|
Living things exhibit a far higher level of organization. |
Organization |
|
Living matter is always compartmentalized into basic functional components called cells which could be one or more. |
Cellular composition |
|
All living things have a universal chemical composition that includes DNA, proteins , lipids and carbohydrates |
Biochemical unity |
|
Living things take in molecules from environments and chemically change th into molecules that form their own structure, control their physiology or provide energy |
Metabolism |
|
The ability of organism to sense and react to stimuli |
Excitability |
|
This is the tendency for the internal conditions of the humans body to remain stable in spite for the change ls in the environment around the organism |
Homeostasis |
|
This growth of the body occurs through chemical change. |
Growth |
|
This refers to any change in form or function over the lifetime of the organism |
Development |
|
Produce copies of themselves at some point in their life cycled thus passing their genes |
Reproduction |
|
All living species exhibits generic change from generation and therefore evolve |
Evolution |
|
This is the smallest component of an element that had the chemical properties of an element |
Atoms |
|
These are group of atoms that are chemically bonded together which serves as the fundamental and structural component of an organism |
Molecules |
|
The basic structural component of life derived from the association of molecules |
Cells |
|
These are group of cells of the same type that contribute a specific function of a particular structure. |
Tissue |
|
These are group of tissues that associate with each other to give a unified function of a particular structure. |
Organs |
|
These are organs that associate to produce a defined function of an organism |
System |
|
This refers to a living thing which possesess set of characteristics that defines life. |
Organism |
|
These are group of organisms of the same species that occupy the same environment. |
Population |
|
This refers to the assemblage of population of different species. |
Community |
|
This refers to the environment where living organisms interact with nonliving organisms in order to survive. |
Ecosystem |
|
These includes all places on wart where living organisms exist encompassing the air,water and land |
Biosphere |
|
Organization of life |
Atoms molecules cells Tissues organs system organism population community ecosystem biosphere |
|
Methods of classification |
Taxonomy Systematics |
|
Concerned with theory, practice and rules of classifying living and extinct organism( characteristics) |
Taxonomy |
|
Study of biological diversity and the evolutionary relationship among organism both extinct and modern ( descendant among ancestors) |
Systematics |
|
Develop the early classification system for plants and animals based on anatomy and physiology |
John ray (1600) |
|
Extended ray's idea regarding taxonomy. He introduced the two kingdom scheme and proposed the binomial system of nomenclature in naming organism |
Carolus Linnaeus(1700) |
|
He is a German entomologist who proposed the systematics as another way of classifying living organism |
Willi hennig (1950) |
|
He is an American ecologist who proposed the five kingdoms scheme |
Robert Whittaker (1969) |
|
He is an American biologist who proposed the category called domains which classification are based on information in the sequence of genus |
Carl woese(1970) |
|
Taxonomy of organism (The hierarchy of groups) |
Domain kingdom classes orders families genus and species |
|
Domains |
Bacteria Archea Eukarya |
|
Kingdoms |
Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia
|
|
Latinized name adapted for nalang a particular organsim |
Genus and species( binomial nomenclature) |
|
Other word for species |
Epithet |
|
Front (Term) Identify |
Human classification |
|
Animal classification |
Back (Definition) |
|
A series of bulges that develops in the pharyngeal throat region |
Pharyngeal arches |
|
Extends beyond the anus |
Tail |
|
This a dorsal,flexible rod found only in the embryo |
Notochord |
|
This is a column of nervous tissue that passes along the dorsal side of the body and has central canal filled with fluid |
Dorsal hollow nerve chord |
|
The most important atom in biological molecules |
Carbon |
|
It is the smallest critical element and is capable passing through the cell wall |
Hydrogen |
|
Our DNA are held together by? |
Hydrogen bonds |
|
