Diversity Unit Review Taxonomy, Phylogeny, Evolution Terms: Biodiversity, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, Phylogeny, Taxonomy, Binomial Nomenclature, Classification, Taxon, Common Ancestor, Phylogenetic Tree, Homologous Structure, Prokaryotic Cell, Eukaryotic Cell, Dichotomous Key, Autotroph, Heterotroph, Natural Selection, Artificial Selection Concepts: - How to make & use a dichotomous key - How do we classify species? - What is the correct format for writing out the name of an organism - Anatomical, Physiological and Genetic evidence of relationships - What are the six kingdoms and how did they come to be? - Compare & contrast Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes - General characteristics of the six Kingdoms Viruses Terms: Virus, DNA, RNA, Bacteriophage, Capsid, Replication, Lytic Cycle, Lysogenic Cycle, Lysis, Retrovirus Concepts: - What is a virus? Why are they not “alive”? - What are the lytic and lysogenic cycles? - How do we classify viruses? - What can we learn about viruses from their disease patterns? (Ex. Herpes Simplex) - How are viruses used in biotechnology? Bacteria Terms: Bacteria, Archaea, Cocci, Bacilli, Unicellular, Aerobic, Anaerobic, Binary Fission, Conjugation, Plasmid, Endospore, Gram Positive, Gram Negative Concepts: - Compare & contrast Bacteria and Archaea - Generalized bacterial structure & characteristics - How does binary fission & conjugation work? - What are the benefits of conjugation & plasmids? - How are bacteria & plasmids used to produce insulin? Protists Terms: Protist, Parasite, Cytoskeleton, Pseudopod, Cilium, Flagellum, Mutualistic, Amoeba, Dinoflagellate, Oral Groove &Gullet, Food Vacuole, Contractile Vacuole, Euglenoids, Phytoplankton, Diatom, Symbiotic Relationship Concepts: - Why are protists grouped together in this Kingdom? - How are protists classified? (Plant, Animal, Fungi) - How do amoebas move & feed? What about ciliates & flagellates? - Amoeba, Paramecia & Euglena structure (diagrams) - Plasmodium/Malaria life cycle Terms: Algae, Blade, Stipe, Plant, Embryo, Sporic Reproduction, Gametophyte, Sporophyte, Spore, Vascular Tissue, Alternation of Generations, Rhizoid, Seed, Gymnosperm, Angiosperm, Cone, Flower, Fruit Concepts: - Are algae plants or protists? - How did land plants evolve? - What is the alternation of generations? How does it work? - Characteristics of bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, gymnosperms & angiosperms - Compare & contrast monocots and dicots Lifecycle examples: Mosses, Ferns, Conifer (generalization only) Plants Fungi Terms: Fungi, Hyphae, Mycelium, Fruiting Body, Parasitic, Predatory, Saprobe, Budding, Fragmentation, Spore Concepts: - Generalized fungi structure - How do we classify fungi? - How do fungi get nutrients and energy? - How do fungi reproduce? - Characteristics of Fungi Imperfecti, Chytrids, Zygospore Fungi, Sac fungi & Club fungi Animals Terms: Invertebrate, Vertebrate, Cell, Tissue, Organ, System, Radial symmetry, Bilateral symmetry, Asymmetrical, Segmentation, Sessile, Porifera, Cnidaria, Nematoda, Rotifera, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, Chordata Concepts: - What is an animal? - Classification of animals using levels of organization, number of body layers, symmetry and body plans, body cavity, segmentation, movement and reproduction - Characteristics of Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Rotifera, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata &Chordata From phylum/animal jar samples: - Be able to describe the general characteristics of each phylum - Be able to distinguish between phyla - Know at least one example from each phylum and a brief description of it
