What is the advantage/benift of organizing all living things into categories?
People can study oranisms easier, shows evolutionary relationship amung oranisms, lets you make certain assumtians about oragnisms within a particular group.
Why did scientists disagree on what a euglena was?
Initially an animal- animal like traits, eye spot, abillity to move, ability to ingest nutrients. Botanists thought it should be in a plant kingdom- can make its own food, it was finnaly put into protasts kingdom- single celled organisms.

Why is fungi like a plant, or not like a plant.
Like a plant because, rigid cell, not like because no green chrolophyl
Why is fungi important?
they break down dead organisms and recycle organic waste
Give two examples of diseases caused by a fungus?
athletes foot and ring worm
What are plants?
They are multi-cellular, eukarytic organisms able to make their own food out of simple chemichal substances.
What is a pigment?
Is a coloring matter found in the cells and tissues of plants and animals.
Plants contain what pigment?

02

:)
What are animals?
Multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that lack cell walls, and are not able to make their own food.
What two groups are animals divided into?
those that lack back bone and skull (invertabrates) and those that have a backbone and skull
What is the most widely disterbuted organisms on earth?
Bacteria
What are bacteria?
Microscope, single celled thick outer cell wall surrounds a thin cell membrane.
What are the three shapes found is bacteria?

What is DNA?
De oxy ri bo nu cle ic acid.
That total gentic makeup/function of an organism is?
in the generes and they are celled genomes
All the instructions for reproduction are in the?
chromosones
Where would you find hereditary material in a bacteria?
In the cell's cytoplasm
What are bacteria responsible for?
decomposition/breakdown of dead material
What are these bacteria called that breakdown organic material?
Decay bacteria
What do decay bacteria do?
They break down organic material into smaller molecules that are re-released into the water.
Name some molecules that are used by bacteria to help recycle organic matter?
phosphates, nitrates, and sulfates
Where are the decay bacteria most abundant?
Bottom sediments where dead organic material accumlates, warm moist dark and rich in food
Where are the decay bacteria most abundant?
bottom sediments where dead organic material accumlates: warm, moist, dark, and rich in food.
In a lab what does the bacteria feed on?
a gel called agar made from algae
What are magnetic bacteria?
They have magnetite or iron
What are organisms that derive their energy from cells called
chemosynthesis
what is unusal about cyanobacteria?
