| 328050591 | Euglenophyta | unicellular organisms that have photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll a and b. These have flagella and an eyespot that helps them respond to light. | 0 | |
| 328050592 | Dinoflagellata | unicellular organisms that live in marine and fresh water. Have photosynthetic pigments, two flagella, and cell walls that contain cellulose. | 1 | |
| 328050593 | Chrysophyta | golden algae; most are unicellular, some are multicellular. Have photosynthetic pigments and are golden. Covered in tiny scales of silica or calcium carbonate | 2 | |
| 328050594 | Chlorophyta | green algae; have photosynthetic pigments. Usually have flagella at some point in their lifetime and use starch as food. | 3 | |
| 328050595 | Phaeophyta | Brown algae; mostly multicellular, photosynthetic, and possess chlorophyll a, c, and carotenoids. Their reproductive cells are usually biflagellated. | 4 | |
| 328050596 | Rhodophyta | Red algae; mostly multicellular, marine seaweeds. Have chlorophyll a, b, and red photosynthetic pigments (phycobilins) | 5 | |
| 328050597 | Bacillariophyta | Diatoms; nonmotile, unicellular organsims. Cell walls of silica | 6 | |
| 328050598 | Zoomastigina | Zooflagellates; unicellular protozoans that move by means of a flagellum. Some live symbiotically with termites, while others can be parasitic-->causing african sleeping sickness | 7 | |
| 328050599 | Rhizopoda | Amoebas; can perform phagocytosis with their pseudopods. | 8 | |
| 328050600 | Ciliophora | i.e. paramecium. they are unicellular protozoans that move around and feed using their cilia. | 9 | |
| 328050601 | Sporozoa | Sporozoans; nonmotile, parasitic spore-formers. Characterized by lack of flagella and amoeboid body form. ie Plasmodium-->causes malaria | 10 | |
| 328050602 | Foraminifera | unicellular protists that produce calcareous shells with pores through which cytoplasmic projections extend. | 11 | |
| 328050603 | Myxomycota | Slime-molds; produce large multinucleated masses (plasmodium). Sometimes slime molds have stalks that grow upward, and form spores. Other times, they produce gametes, which fuse and produce a diploid zygote to form a multinucleated mass. | 12 | |
| 328050604 | Fungi | usually multicellular eukaryotes with cell walls of chitin. Lack chlorophyll and are heterotrophs. They feed using hyphae which secrete digestive enzymes into food and absorb the products. Reproduce by either budding or spores. Important life cycles that the Princeton Review failed to include are: basidiomycota, zygomycota, and ascomycota. | 13 | |
| 328050605 | Bryophyta | moss, liverworts, or hornworts; lack true stems, roots, and leaves. Have flagellated sperm that swim to the egg. | 14 | |
| 328050606 | Pterophyta | fern; i am pterrified of ferns. Seedless-vascular plants that have a dominant sporophyte stage. | 15 | |
| 328050607 | Spenophyta | horsetails (wtf is a horsetail); have hollow, ribbed stems and reduced, scalelike leaves. Found in marshes. | 16 | |
| 328050608 | Lycophyta | club mosses (i lyc going to the club); small plants with rhizomes and short, erect branches. Way more common only a very short 300 million years ago. | 17 | |
| 328050609 | Coniferophyta | woody plants that bear their seeds in cones. They have tracheids and well-developed phloem. Roots and stems are capable of secondary growth. Fertilization doesn't require water | 18 | |
| 328050610 | Anthophyta | flowering plants (like angiosperms); seeds are enclosed within a fruit or nut. They are multicellular and have xylem and phloem. Angiosperms have monocots and dicots. Mono=one embryonic seed leaf, flower parts in threes, fibrous root system, and leaves with parallel veins. Di=flower parts in fours or fives, vasc tissue in distinct bundles arranged in a circle, taproot system, leaves with netted veins. | 19 | |
| 328050611 | Kingdom Animalia | heterotrophic eukaryotes important issues include: body symmetry, tissue complexity, type of body cavity, and developmental patterns. Body cavities: radial and bilateral Tissue: coelom, pseudo, acoelom. Development: protostomes is mouth first, deuterostome is buttocks first. | 20 | |
| 328050612 | Porifera | sponges; radial, nonmotile and made of two cell layers. Ingest food by sucking in water | 21 | |
| 328050613 | Cnidaria | jellyfish, hydras, and sea anemones; two-cell layered body with digestive cavity surrounded by tentacles that sting their prey. | 22 | |
| 328050614 | Platyhelminthes | flatworms; plates are flat, motile, have three cell layers and are bilateral. Acoelomateds. | 23 | |
| 328050615 | Nematoda | roundworms; pseudocoelomates, have complete digestive tract that extends from mouth to anus. Think of the nematodes in spongebob and they eat everything so their digestive system must be very developed. | 24 | |
| 328050616 | Rotifera | filter feeders that are pseudocoelomates with a complex, complete digestive system. | 25 | |
| 328050617 | Mollusca | octopi, squid, snails, and clams; have soft bodies and hard shells. They are the first protostomes and first coelomates | 26 | |
| 328050618 | Annelida | earthworms; segmented worms with two openings; a moth and anus. Have a fully developed digestive system, closed circulatory system, developed nervous system, and bristle appendages. | 27 | |
| 328050619 | Arthropoda | insects, crustaceans, arachnids; segmented bodies, paired jointed legs, and a chitinous exoskeleton. Strangely have an open circulatory system with a dorsal heart. | 28 | |
| 328050620 | Echinodermata | sea urchins; have spiny exoskeleton. These are the first deuterostomes (blastopore becomes anus). | 29 | |
| 328050621 | Chordata | 4 important things these have: 1)a notochord 2)a dorsal nerve chord 3)postanal tail 4)pharyngeal gill slits There are a lot of sub-groups so I'm breaking it up | 30 | |
| 328050622 | Chordata: Pisces | fish; cold-blooded vertebrates with gills, scales, and two chambered heart | 31 | |
| 328050623 | Chordata: Amphibians | initially breath through gills but eventually develop lungs. Can perform gas exchange through their moist skin. Have a three chambered heart | 32 | |
| 328050624 | Chordata: Reptilia | cold-blooded animals that have eggs with a chitinous covering. They have a four chambered heart and are the first vertebrates to have internal fertilization | 33 | |
| 328050625 | Chordata: Aves | birds; warm-blooded, have eggs with shells, wings, feathers, hollow bones, and a four-chambered heart | 34 | |
| 328050626 | Chordata: Mammalia | warm-blooded animals with four chambered heart. Have hair and produce milk. Some have placenta (joins embryo to the wall of mother's uterus), but marsupials don't. | 35 |
