Intro/overview of animals and plants and kingdoms

1. Intro/overview of animals and plants and kingdoms

2. There are 3 major domains of organisms, Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. What are some characteristics shared by Archaea and Eukarya?

4. What are some distinguishing characteristics of organisms in Domain Archaea?

5. Unicellular • Extremophiles • Histones associated with the DNA • Circular chromosomes

6. What are the 4 kingdoms of Domain Eukarya?

7. Protista • Fungi • Plantae • animalia

8. The organisms of which of the Eukaryotic kingdoms lack a cell wall?

9. animalia

10. How might protists obtain nutrition?

11. Heterotrophs ( animal like) • Autotrophs (plant like) • Decomposers(fungus like)

12. Which of the eukaryotic kingdoms have only cellulose cell walls?

13. Plantae

14. There are 4 major plant phyla: name 2 of them

15. Bryophyta • Pterophyta • Coniferophyta • Anthophyta

16. Provide an example of a plant in phylum bryophyta

17. Mosses • Liverworts • Hornworts

18. Pine trees and evergreens are types of gymnosperm or angiosperm?

19. Gymnosperm

20. What evolutionary milestone separates the Bryophytes from the other 3 plant phyla?

21. Vascularization ( presence of vascular tissue)

22. Both gymnosperm and angiosperm use seeds for reproduction. What is the difference between the seeds in these plants?

23. Angiosperm produce seeds in fruit while gymnosperm produce naked seeds.

24. Plant reproductive cycles alternate between sporophyte and gametophyte generations. What is the only plant phyla that spends the majority of its life in a gametophyte stage?

25. Mosses ( bryophytes)

26. Which of the plant phyla contains the greatest number of species?

27. Angiosperm(anthophyta) or flowering plants

28. Which of the following adaptations allows plants to uncouple reproduction from water?

29. C. pollen and seeds • Bryophytes and pterophytes have flagellated sperm that must swim through nearby water sources in order for fertilization to occur. Seeds and pollen allow fertilization to occur to through wind, water, and pollinators.

30. There is only one animal phyla contains animals that are sessile or basal. Which one is it ?

31. Porifera ( sponges)

32. What type of symmetry to organisms in Phylum Porifera (sponges) have?

33. Asymetry

34. How does the symmetry of an organism relate to its mode of nutrition?

35. Asymmetry ( filter feeders; food comes to them) • Radial Symmetry ( food comes to them) • Bilateral Symmetry ( allows coordinated movement to go get food )

36. What systems evolved to support cellular respiration in multicellular organisms?

37. Digestive • Respiratory • Circulatory

38. In reference to cellular respiration, what does the digestive system contribute?

39. Glucose

40. In reference to cellular respiration , what is the contribution of the circulatory system?

41. Transports oxygen from the lungs to the cells • Transports glucose from the small intestine to the cells

42. What is the major oxygen transporter in animals?

43. Blood (double points : hemoglobin protien)

44. What 3 systems assist the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems as they support cellular respiration?

45. Endocrine system • Nervous system • Muscular System • Another Possible ( immune system)

46. What is the role of the endocrine system in helping support cellular respiration?

47. Controls the release of pancreatic hormones (like insulin and glucagon) that regulate glucose homeostasis

48. What are zymogens?

49. Inactive precursor enzymes that are turned on usually by hydrolytic processes to change its conformation and reveal the active site .

50. Name one example of a zymogen (double if you can tell the function)
