Unit 7: Classification & Viruses
This unit will allow each student to:
a. gain a better understanding of the previous and current methods of classifying organisms
b. gain a better understanding of how evolution dictates classification in modern classification
systems
c. gain a better understanding a bacterial structure and function
d. gain a better understanding of viral structure and function
e. continue making proper scientific measurements and calculations
f. define and properly use all vocabulary
g. properly apply all terms and concepts in describing/explaining real world examples
h. make and interpret scientific graphs and diagrams
i. teach someone else the concepts discussed
j. practice proper laboratory safety
This will be accomplished by each student that is able to:
1. compare Aristotle’s and Linnaeus’s methods of classifying organisms
2. explain how to write a scientific name using binomial nomenclature
3. summarize the categories used in biological classification
4. compare and contrast species concepts, describe methods used to reveal phylogeny
5. read a cladogram and explain how a cladogram is constructed
6. compare major characteristics of the three domains
7. differentiate among the six kingdoms
8. classify organisms to the kingdom level
9. differentiate among archaebacteria and eubacteria and their subcategories
10. describe survival mechanisms of bacteria at both the individual and population levels
11. describe ways that bacteria are beneficial to humans
12. illustrate the general structure of viruses
13. trace the sequence of events in viral replication by the lytic cycle, the lysogenic cycle, and
retroviral replication
14. discuss the structure, replication, and action of prions in relationship to causing disease
