3804022035What were the first organismsHeterotrophs; anaerobes0
3804022036What was the early atmosphere composed ofHydrogen, Ammonia, methane, water1
3804022037What is todays atmospheremostly nitrogen and oxygen2
3804022038geographic isolationwhen separated geographically, speciation may occur3
3804022039What defines two separate species?the two cannot reproduce4
3804022040Divergent Evolutionthe process by which two populations of the same species end up having different behaviors and traits- they evolve away from each other5
3804022041convergent evolutionwhen two species develop similar structures becoming more alike - Does NOT lead to speciation - Will NEVER become the same species6
3804022042homologous structuresfundamentally similar structures that shared a common ancestry - human arm and whale fin7
3804022043analogous structuresstructures that share a similar function, but are fundamentally different and did not evolve from the same ancestor but rather speciation -bat and insect wing8
3804022044vestigial structuresstructures that's purpose become meaningless through evolution - appendix in humans and leg bone in snakes9
3804022045what is the order of phylogenyDomain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species10
3804022046Who developed the binomial systemCarolus Linnaeus11
3804022047binomial systemthe scientific naming of organisms use their genus and species12
3804022048The DomainBacteria, Archaea, Eukarya13
3804022049Bacteriaprokaryotes include photosynthetic cyanobacteria14
3804022050Archaeaprokaryotes extremophiles15
3804022051halophilessalt loving extremophiles16
3804022052thermophilesheat loving extremophiles17
3804022053methanogensextremophiles that produce methane18
3804022054What are the KingdomsProtistia, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia19
3804022055Protistseukaryotic unicellular or multicellular Main groups are -protazoa (animal like) -algae (plant like) -protists (fungi like)20
3804022056phylum rhizopoda (amoeba)Protazoa unicellular and use pseudopodia extensions to move around. Some are parasitic.21
3804022057phylum apicomplexa (sporozoans)algae (protist) all parasites that reproduce asexually and sexually22
3804022058phylum ciliophora (ciliates)protazoa use cilia to move. paramecium23
3804022059myxomycota and acraziomycota (slime molds)protist multinucleated slime molds yooooo24
3804022060euglenophyta (euglena)algae (protist) unicellular photosynthetic algae that move using flagellum25
3804022061bacillariophyta (diatoms)algae (protist) Have glass like walls that form diatomaceous earth which is an important filtering medium. very important.26
3804022062phaeophyta (brown algae)algae (protist) multicellular photosynthetic algae27
3804022063Whart are the two main categories of plantsnonvascular and vascular Vascular -> seedless and seed seed-> gynosperm (non-flowering) and angopsperms (flowering)28
3804022064Bryophyta (nonvascular plants)plant lack the xylem and phloem. must live in damp areas ex- moss, liverworts, hornworts29
3804022065pterophyta (ferns)plant earliest vascular plants true stems leaves and roots have spores30
3804022066coniferophyta (conifers)plant true vascular produce cones that carry naked seeds gymnspores (dont flower)31
3804022067anthophyta (flowering plants)true vascular plants produce flower, pollen, and protected seeds32
3804022068types of flowering plantsmonocots- single seed leaves dicots- two seed leaves33
3804022069Fungieukaryotic decomposers multinucleated34
3804022070Zygmoycotafungi sexual reproduction molds and mycorrhizae (mutualists with trees)35
3804022071basiodomycota (club fungi)mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi36
3804022072phylum porifera (sponges)-sessile (nonmoving) -perforated -water and food drawn in through holes and ingested37
3804022073phylum cnidaria (coelenterates)animals -body walls two layers of cells thick -central sac-like digestive system -radial symmetry ex. hydra, jellyfish, sea anemones38
3804022074phylum platyhelminthes (flatworm)-bilateral symmetry -moderate cephalization (head) ex. planaria, flukes, and parasitic tapeworms39
3804022075phylum mollusca (mollusks-soft bodied with hard external shell ex. octopi, squid, snails, oysters, clam40
3804022076what are the main body regions of a molluska FOOT for movement a VISCERAL MASS to contain organs a MANTLE which may secrete a shell41
3804022077phylum annelida (segmented worms)-closed circulation w/ mouth and anus -metanephridia42
3804022078metanephridiawhere segmented worms excrete wastes from43
3804022079phylum arthropoda (arthropods)- most diverse group of animals -segmented body with a head, thorax and abdomen -open circulatory system ex. crustaceans, insects, arachnids44
3804022080what are malpighian tubuleswhere arthropods excrete wastes45
3804022081phylum echinoderms (echinoderms)- slow moving animals -radial symmetry -spiny exsoskeletons -water vascular systems with tube feet ex. sea star, sea urchins, sand dollars46
3804022082phylum chordata (chordates)hollow notochord and dorsal nerve cord gill slits tail47
3804022083class chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish)-flexible skeletons with cartilage -some lay eggs, some bear young ex. sharks and sting rays48
3804022084class osteichthyes (bony fish)-true bone skeletons -lay shell lacking eggs ex. bass, tuna, trout49
3804022085class amphiba (amphibians)-eggs lack shells -aquatic larval stage and metamorphosis into terrestrial ex. frogs, salamanders50
3804022086class reptile (reptiles)-thick scaly shells -shelled eggs -breathe air through lungs ex. snakes, lizards51
3804022087class aves (birds)-tetrapods with forelimbs adapted to be wings -shelled eggs -endothermic ex. its a fudging bird do i really need to give you an example52
3804022088class mammal (mammals)-endothermic -hair and mammaries -bear live young ex. giraffes, elephants, rats, pangolins, kiwis, stop me? just try53
3804022089which of the classes evolved firstFish Amphibians Reptiles Birds Mammals (FARBM)54
3804022090sessilenonmoving55
3804022091monocot-one cotyledon (seed) -leaf circles the stem -floral parts in threes -scattered vascular bundles -fibrous roots56
3804022092dicots-two cotyledons -expanded leaf blades -floral parts in four or fives -vascular budles in a circle -taproot system57
