Unit 5 Flashcards

Front 1

prokaryotes:

Back 1

bacteria, spirochetes, cyanobacteria(autotropes)

Front 2

What kingdom are prokaryotes formerly included in?

Back 2

Monera

Front 3

extremophiles:

Back 3

thermophiles, halophiles, methanogens

Front 4

Domain Archaea is formerly included in what kingdom?

Back 4

Monera

Front 5

The domain eukarya is formally known as?

Back 5

Protists

Front 6

"simple" eukaryotes are?

Back 6

unicellular eukaryotes

Front 7

algae

Back 7

Any of various chiefly aquatic, eukaryotic, photosynthetic organisms, ranging in size from single-celled forms to the giant kelp. Algae were once considered to be plants but are now classified separately because they lack true roots, stems, leaves, and embryos.

Front 8

dinoflaggelate

Back 8

Any of numerous minute, chiefly marine protozoans of the order Dinoflagellata, characteristically having two flagella and a cellulose covering and forming one of the chief constituents of plankton. They include bioluminescent forms and forms that produce red tide.

Front 9

Amoebozoa

Back 9

a major group of amoeboid protozoa, including the majority that move by means of internal cytoplasmic flow

Front 10

ciliates

Back 10

one of the most important groups of protists, common almost everywhere there is water — lakes, ponds, oceans, and soils, with many ecto- and endosymbiotic members, as well as some obligate and opportunistic parasites

Front 11

diatoms

Back 11

a major group of eukaryotic algae, and are one of the most common types of phytoplankton. Most diatoms are unicellular, although some form chains or simple colonies.

Front 12

Fungi

Back 12

Have a chitin cell wall and are heterotrophs (they feed off of decomposing matter)

Front 13

Plants

Back 13

Cellulose cell wall, photosynthetic, eukaryotes

Front 14

bryophytes(mosses)

Back 14

seedless non-vascular, dominant gametophyte

Front 15

ferns

Back 15

seedless vascular, dominant sporophyte, free-living gametophyte

Front 16

gymnosperm (conifers)

Back 16

pollen, naked seeds, vascular, reduced dependent gametophyte

Front 17

angiosperm(flowering)

Back 17

pollen, flowers, fruit, seeds, reduced dependent gametophyte, monocot vs. dicot

Front 18

porifera

Back 18

animal phylum consisting of the organisms commonly called sponges.

Front 19

sponges

Back 19

They are primitive, sessile, mostly marine, water dwelling filter feeders that pump water through their bodies to filter out particles of food matter. Sponges represent the simplest of animals

Front 20

cnidaria (jellyfish, hydra, corals)

Back 20

Cnidarians are radially symmetrical. The mouth, located at the center of one end of the body, opens into a gastrovascular cavity, which is used for digestion and distribution of food; an anus is lacking

Front 21

gastrovascular cavity

Back 21

functions in both digestion and the transport of nutrients to all parts of an animal body

Front 22

flatworms

Back 22

acoelomates

Front 23

annelids (segmented worms):

Back 23

coelomates

Front 24

mollusks (snails, clams, squid, octopus):

Back 24

coelomates

Front 25

brachiopods

Back 25

coelomates

Front 26

arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans):

Back 26

coelomates

Front 27

nematodes(round worms):

Back 27

Any of several worms of the phylum Nematoda, having unsegmented, cylindrical bodies, often narrowing at each end, and including parasitic forms such as the hookworm and pinworm. Also called roundworm.

Front 28

deuterostomes development

Back 28

The name deuterostome means "mouth second", and refers to one important developmental feature unique to this group

Front 29

invertebrates

Back 29

Lacking a backbone or spinal column; not vertebrate

Front 30

echinoderms (sea stars, sea urchins):

Back 30

coelomates

Front 31

vertebrates

Back 31

coelomates

Front 32

Coelomates

Back 32

animals that have a fluid filled body cavity called a coelom

Front 33

5 Kingdoms

Back 33

Monera(no longer valid), protists, fungi, plants, animals
