    Study Notes

    Vertebrate Classification

    • Vertebrates are animals with backbones.
    • Vertebrates are classified into five groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

    Classifying Animals

    • Animals are classified into two categories: vertebrates and invertebrates.
    • Vertebrates have a backbone, while invertebrates do not.

    Classifying Plants

    • Plants are classified into two categories: vascular and non-vascular.
    • Vascular plants have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water and nutrients.
    • Non-vascular plants lack these specialized tissues.
    • Seedless plants are vascular plants that do not produce seeds.

    Seed Plant Classification

    • Seed plants are vascular plants that produce seeds.
    • Seed plants are further classified into two groups:
      • Flowering plants produce flowers, which are involved in reproduction, and produce fruits containing seeds.
      • Non-flowering plants do not produce flowers and their seeds are not enclosed within fruits.

    Adaptation

    • Adaptation refers to the special body features or behaviors that help living things survive in their habitats.
    • A habitat is the natural environment where a living thing lives.

    Key Features of Vertebrates

    • Fish: live in water, have slimy scales, gills for breathing, fins for swimming, body temperature changes with the surroundings, lay eggs in water.
    • Amphibians: can live in water and on land, have moist skin without scales, young have gills, adults breathe through lungs and skin, body temperature changes with the surroundings, lay eggs in fresh water.
    • Reptiles: have hard, dry scales, lungs for breathing, body temperature changes with the surroundings, lay shelled eggs on land.
    • Birds: have feathers, lungs, beaks, wings, body temperature is not easily affected by the surroundings, lay shelled eggs on land.
    • Mammals: have hair, lungs, mammary glands, body temperature is not easily affected by the surroundings, give birth to live young.

    Seven Vital Functions of Living Things

    • Nutrition: the process of taking in and using food.
    • Respiration: the process of breathing and releasing energy from food.
    • Movement: the ability to change position.
    • Growth: an increase in size and complexity.
    • Sensitivity: the ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment.
    • Excretion: the removal of waste products.
    • Reproduction: the process of producing offspring.

    Grouping Living Things

    • Scientists group living things based on their key features, which allows for better understanding and identification.
    • A key is a tool used to identify living things based on their characteristics.

    Plants: Key Features

    • Non-vascular plants: lack specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport.
    • Vascular plants: have specialized tissues for water and nutrient transport (xylem and phloem).
      • Seedless plants: reproduce without seeds.
      • Seed plants: reproduce using seeds.
        • Non-flowering plants: lack flowers and produce cones or spores.
        • Flowering plants: produce flowers for reproduction and fruits containing seeds.

    Living Things and Habitats

    • Every living thing has unique adaptations that allow it to thrive in its specific habitat.
    • Some examples of adaptations are the strong, sharp claws of a cheetah for hunting, the thick fur of a polar bear for insulation in cold climates, or the long neck of a giraffe for reaching leaves high in trees.

    Classification: Key Points

    • Classification helps us identify and study living things by organizing them into groups based on their key characteristics.
    • The seven vital functions of living things: nutrition, respiration, movement, growth, sensitivity, excretion, and reproduction, are essential for survival.
    • Earth's diversity of life ranges from microscopic organisms to large animals and plants, showcasing the incredible array of life on our planet.
    • The classification process uses key features that help identify and distinguish different types of organisms.
