Rules For Scientific Naming
Definition

Genus------Specific Epithet

     (generic name)            (Species Adjective)


- 2 words- species=genus + SE

- Genus can be used alone, SE may never be used alone

- Genus name= capitalized, SE never Capitalized

- Both either underlined or italized


Term
DIPLOID
Definition

DI-Two

contians 2 of each kind of chromosome

 

humans- 46 total chromosomes, 23 DIFFERENT kinds

 

N=23 for humans

2n=46

2(23)=46

Term
HAPLOID
Definition

1 of each kind of chromosome

EX-sporangia

 

Sporangia: n=12-happy to be haploid not want to be diploid.

Animal Cell Division

 

Definition

Membrane surrounding cytoplasm with nucleus. Cell membranne is alive

-Splits by cytokinesis

Term

 

Plant Cell Characteristics and (Division)

Definition

Regular in shape

-nucleu, cell membrance, cell wall, cytoplasm

-cell wall is a dead secreation

 

-No cytokinesis, builds more cell wall then splits. 

Term

Meiosis

 

-Info

-General Functs

- Specif Functs

Definition

MUST BEGIN WITH DIPLOID CELLS

-Only occurs in specific cells at specific times

-1 duplication, 2 divisions

General Funct-convert diploid cell to haploid cell

-always end w/ 4 nuclei from meiosis

Specific Funct- 1. Become gametes ( sperm and egg)-ONLY IN ANIMALS

-fertilization- when each meet opposite sex cell

2. create spores- undergo meitosis and repo asexuallly into haploid body


true for 3/4 or eukaryotic kingdom

Term
Momera are a kingdom of....
Definition
Superlitives
Term
Monera ( genreal Charcs)
Definition

Prokaryotic

no nucleus/other mbrn bound organells

DNA floating in cytoplasm (Not linear, circular in form of a ring

Haploid/dipoid do not apply

 

 

Term
Prokaryotes reproduce _______ by ________  about every ______ minutes
Definition

Asexually

binary fission

20

 

Term
Supurlitives Cont
Definition

1. smallest life forms, 1-2 micrometers

 

2. Most abundent lifeforms

 

3. greatest habitat diversity- they are everywhere

 

4.most ancient organims on planet ( bact fossils found 3.5 billion years old.

Term
Eubacteria (Charastcs)
Definition

True bacteria

-All have cell walls of peptidoglycan ( prot and sugar)

NOT COMP- cellulose or chitin

 

Some species photosynth

- BActerial Chlorophyll NOT chlorophyll A

Dosent produce O2

Term

Eubacteria (char cont...)

 

Definition

EX: Clustrilium Botulinium

produces botulism

1gm of toxin can kill 10,000,000 people

 

can come from in properly canned food

 

used in botox treatements

Term
SWAG
Definition
Swinging-Wild-Ass-Guess
Term
Gram Positive
Definition

Dark Purple

 

Dark purple because the crystal violet is held onto by the thick peptidoglycan cell walls of the bacteria. Wont get removed by alcohol rinse

 

usually NOT resisitant to antibiotics but a select few are

(staphylococcus aureus (MRSA))

Term
Gram Negative
Definition

Light Pink

 

They are light pink because the peptidoglycan cell wall is between the plasma membrane which will not hold onto the crystal violet after the alcohol rinse.

 

Important in medical because gram negative bacteria have toxins the lipids of their lipopolysaccharide layers which cause shock or fever

More resistant to antibiotics

Term

Aerobic

 

Obligate Aerobe

Definition
Uses, thrives, lives O2
Term

Anerobic

 

Obligate Anerobe

 

Definition

Does not use O2

Will not survive/thruve in oxygen enviornment

Term
Facultative (Aerobe or Anerobe)
Definition
Can grow with or with out O2
Term
Cyanobacteria (Charstcs)
Definition

Live in aquatic enviornment

Prokaryotic

 

Compared to eubact

-Peptidoglycan cell wall

-Much larger

- All are photo synthetic (chlorophyll A)

Produces O2

Uses phycobillians- wave lengths not used by chlorophyll (yello/green)

Dosent use green end of spectrum

Term
Most bacteria are S-----
