What is taxonomy?

The classification of organisms based on

their traits.

Back to Menu

Why do people classify things?

Back to Menu

To organize and share information efficiently.

How do scientists name organisms? What is this naming system called.

Back to Menu

Scientists give organisms two names – like a first and last name. This process is called

Binomial Nomenclature.

What are the 6 kindoms?

Back to Menu

1. Animal2. Plant3. Fungi4. Protist5. Eubacteria6. Archaebacteria

List the seven levels of taxonomy.

1. Kingdom2. Phylum3. Class4. Order5. Family6. Genus7. Species Final

JeopardyBack to Menu

Genetic material in bacteria is not contained in a nucleus. What name

are they given?

Back to Menu

Prokaryotes.

How do bacteria most commonly reproduce?

Binary Fission.

Back to Menu

What are the two Kingdoms of bacteria? Describe how they are

different.

Back to Menu

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Archaebacteria are ancient bacteria that live in extreme environments. Eubacteria live everywhere else.

Describe 3 ways that bacteria move.

Back to Menu

1. Flagella2. Cilia3. Pseudopods

What are the 3 basic shapes of bacteria? How are these shapes useful to scientists?

Final Jeopardy

Back to Menu

The 3 shapes are…1. Spherical2. Rod-like3. Spiral shaped These shapes help us identify bacteria.

Why is Protist kingdom referred to as the “Junk

Drawer” kindgom?

Back to Menu

Because it contains organisms the share traits from all of the

other kingdoms.

All Protists are…a) Multicellularb) Unicellularc) Eukaryotesd) Prokaryotes

Back to Menu

a) Multicellularb) Unicellularc) Eukaryotesd) Prokaryotes

What are the three sub-categories of Protists?

Back to Menu

1. Animal-like2. Fungus-like3. Plant-like

What are plant-like protists called, and what are the 3 varieties they come in?

Back to Menu

Plant-like protists are called Algae. They come in…

1. Green2. Brown

3. Red

Describe what is happening in the picture below.

A bacteria is using its pseudopods to entrap and eat another organism.

Final Jeopardy

Back to Menu

Give three examples of a fungi.

Bread MoldMushrooms

Bracket Fungus

Back to Menu

Name the branching, tube-like structure

common to all fungi.

Hyphae (hi-fee)

Back to Menu

Describe how a fungus feeds.

Back to Menu

Hyphae grow into the organism.Release digestive chemicals to

break it down.Absorb food through the hyphae.

List and describe the four categories of fungi.

Back to Menu

1. Sac2. Club3. Threadlike4. Imperfect

What 3 things do all fungi have in common?

Final Jeopardy

Back to Menu

All fungi…1. Are Eukaryotes (nucleus contains

genetic info)2. Reproduce via Spores

3. Are heterotrophs

Viruses require a cell to live in, called a ____.

Because they harm this cell, viruses are called _______.

Back to Menu

Viruses require a cell to live in, called a host.

Because they harm this cell, viruses are called parasites.

What is the only characteristic of living things

that viruses posses?

Back to Menu

The ability to reproduce.

Explain how an Active Virus differs from a Hidden Virus.

Back to Menu

An Active Virus attaches to and then immediately begins taking

over a cell’s functions.A Hidden Virus attaches but then becomes part of the cell’s genetic

material.

Why are viruses considered non-living organisms?

Back to Menu

Viruses are non-living because they…Are not cells

Do not use energy to grow or respondDo not make or eat foodDo not produce waste

Describe the two parts of a virus’ coat and how they function.

Final Jeopardy

Back to Menu

The two coats are the Inner and Outer. Proteins on the Outer coat all the virus to

attach to their target cells.Once attached, genetic material stored

inside the Inner coat are released.

Consider this: •If the bacteria Streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat) can complete binary fission every 90 minutes, how many bacteria would be in your mouth if 5 of them were able to reproduce over a 24 hour period?

60301045

STOP

Back to Menu

Calculations a) 24 hours = 1440 minutesb) 1440min / 90min = 16

replicationsc) (5 x 2) x 2 x 2 x 2 … x 2

(sixteen times!)d) 327,680 strep throat cells
