-
heterotroph hypothesis
The theory of original life on earth during a time when the atomosphere was mostly hydrogen, ammonia meathane and water.
-
Heterotrophs
- Cannont synthesize food.
- The first cells were heterotrophs.
-
Autotroph
Synthesizes own food from solar energy
-
Anaerobic organisms
- Organisms that function without oxygen.
- The early organisms were anaerobic, and then autotrophs produced oxygen as a waste product.
-
Gene pool
All the genes of the organisms in a population.
-
Genetic variability
The fact that each person in a population has a distinct set of genes.
-
Random mutation of DNA
The cause of genetic variability in organisms.

-
Evolution
A change in population's gene pool.
-
Natural selection

Speciation
Formation of a new species.
-
Divergent evolution
Organisms of the same species develope different behaviors and traits.
-
-
Homologous structure
Similar structures in organisms, that dictate common ancestry.
-
Convergent Evolution
- Evolution that results in similar behavioral and physical traits between two separates populations/species.
- Never leading to one species being formed out of two.
-
Analogous structures
Not structurely similar, but adapted through convergent evolution.
-
Vestigial Structures
Useless structures that were once used.
-
Pyhlogeny
- The organization of organisms by evolutionary traits.
- Domain
- Kingdom

- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
-
Taxonomy
The organization of orgaisms by evolutionary traits.
-
Carolus Linnaeus
Developed the binomial nomenclature.
-
Binomial system
- Classifing an orgaism by its genus and species.
- Ie. Canis familiaris
-
Domain bacteria
- Includes prokaryotes, and ocmmon bacteria.
- Includes Eubacteria, and within that Cynobacteria
- aka blue-green algae.
- Cynaobacteria can photosynthesize.
-
Domain Archaea
- Made up of prokaryotes in the Archaebacteria kingdom.
- They have no nuclei or organelles, but have similar amino acid structures to eukarytoes.
- Live in extreme environments.
-
Extremophiles
- Organisms that live in extremely harsh environments.
- Ex. Archaebacteria.
-
Extreme halophiles.
- Live in extremely salty conditions.
- halo = salty
-
Extreme thermophiles
- Live in extremely hot conditions
- thermo =hot
-
Methanogens
- Extreme anaerobes that release methane has as a waste product.
- Methan
-
Domain Eukarya
- Domain of Eukaryotes.
- All contain nuclei, membrane-bound organelles, and linear DNA.
- Divided into four main kingdoms.Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia.
-
Kingdom Protista
- Eukaryotes, that ar mostly unicelular, some are in colonies, and some are multicellular, such as algae.
- Basically in three main groups, protozoa, algae and fungus-like.
- Contains Phylum:
- Rhizopoda(Amoeba)
- Apicomlexa (sporozoans)
- Ciliophora (Ciliates)
- Myxomycota and Acrasiomycota (Slime molds)
- Euglenophyta (Euglena)
- Bacilariophyta (Diatoms)
- Phaeopyta( Brown Algae)
-
Protozoa
Animal-like protists
-
Algae
Plant-like protists
-
Kingdom Plantae
- All multicellular, eukaryotic, and photosynthetic.
- In Divisions, instead of Phylum.
- Grouped based on Nonvascular, or vascular.
- Vascular is divided into seedles or seed plants.
- Seed plants is divided into flowering plants or non-flowering plants.
-
Nonvascular plants (division Byrophyta)
- Lack Xylem and Phloem, the vascular tissue.
- Have no roots, stems, or leaves.
- They live in very wet enviroments.
- Ie. Moss
-
Vascular plants
- Contain Xylem and phloem.
- Have stems leaves and roots.
- BAsed on what type they are they may have seeds or spores, and/ or flowers.
-
Seedless plants. (Pterophyta) Ferns
- Contain Xylem and phloem.
- Have stems leaves and roots.
- Have spores, not seeds.
- Spores are scattered by the wind.
-
Seed plants (Coniferophyta) Conifers
- Conifer refers to the cones that carry seeds.
- Contain Xylem and phloem.
- Have stems leaves and roots.
- No seed coat.
- Mostly large ever-green trees.
-
Gymnosperms
Non-flowering plants
-
Angiosperms
flowering plants
-
Xylem and Phloem
Vascular plant tissue.
-
Spores
- Ferns have spores.
- They are scattered by the wind.
-
Monocot
- A class of flowering plants, they are named for the single-seed leaves.
- They have parallel veins in their leaves.
- Mulitples of threes for flower parts.
- A complex arangement in thier stems and fibrous roots.
-
Dicot
- A class of flowerin plants, they are named for thir two seed leave.
- Netlike veins.
- flower parts in multiples of four or five.
- tissue in rings and taproot system.
-
Cotyledons
Seeded leaves.
-
Kingdom Fungi
- All Eukarytoic and aside from yeast, all multicellular.
- Mostly have more then on nucleus, and are heterotrophic.
- They are absorbiticve feeders.
- They are decomposers.
- Divisions are:
- Zygomycota- common molds
- Basidiomycota- club fungi ie. mushrooms.
-
Kingdom Animalia
- Animals are eukarytoic, multicellular, and heterotrophic.
- Six phyla:
- Porifera (Sponges)
- Cnidaira (Coelenterates)
- Platyhelminthes (Flatworms)
- Mollusca (Mollusks)
- Annelida (Segmented Worms)
- Arthropoda (Arthropods)
- Echniodermata (Echinoderms)
- Chordata (Chordates)
-
-
Porifera (Sponges)
Sessile animals with a perforated body made of two layers of cells
-
Cnidaira (Coelenterates)
Sponges with a central digestive system ie. jellyfish
-
Platyhelminthes (Flatworms)
Worms with heads ie. tapeworms
-
Mollusca (Mollusks)
- Soft-bodied, with an outer shell. Also octopi and squid.
- They have a foot for movement
- A visceral mass for housing organs.
- A Mantle which may secrete a shell.
-
Annelida (Segmented Worms)
- Animals that have a closed circulation.
- They excrete waste through metanephrida.
-
Arthropoda (Arthropods)
- Have jointed apendages, an exoskelaton, and a segmented body.
- Excrete waste through Malpighian tubules.
- Includes crustaceans, insects, and arachnids.
-
Echniodermata (Echinoderms)
- Slow-movind or sessile.
- Have spiny exoskelotens.
- Ie. sea urchins, sea stars.
-
Chordata (Chordates)
- Have a gollow notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, and a tail.
- 6 classes- FARBM
- Chondrichthyes- Cartiligous fish ie. sharks, stingrays
- Osteichthyes- Bony fish ie. trout
- Amphibia- Amphibians ie. frogs, salamanders
