Study Notes

Classifications of Living Things

Taxonomic hierarchy includes Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Five Kingdoms of Living Things

Living organisms are classified into five kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera.

Animal Cell Structure

Components of an animal cell include the Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Vacuole, Mitochondria, Cell Membrane, and Golgi Bodies.

Plant Cell Structure

A plant cell consists of a Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Vacuole, Mitochondria, Cell Membrane, Cell Wall, Chloroplasts, and Golgi Bodies.

Major Groups of Invertebrates

Invertebrates are categorized into: Sponges, Stinging-cell animals, Flatworms, Roundworms, Segmented worms, Mollusks, Sea Stars, and Arthropods.

Major Groups of Vertebrates

Vertebrates include Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals, and Birds.

Animal Reproductive Methods

Animals reproduce through Live birth, Eggs, or Fragmentation.

Types of Seed Plants

Seed plants comprise Monocots, Dicots, and Conifers.

Parts of a Plant

Key plant parts include Leaves, Stems, and Roots.

Leaf Types and Parts
