Study Notes
Classification and Taxonomy
- Linnaeus' two-kingdom classification has demerits due to organisms like Euglena, Chlamydomonas, and slime molds, which exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals.
Classification of Organisms
- Euglena has features of both plants and animals.
- Chlamydomonas is autotrophic but has flagella.
- Slime molds resemble animals in one phase and plants in another phase.
Taxonomic Ranks
- The taxonomic rank with the least number of similar characters is the Division.
- A Class includes Orders, and a Family includes Genera.
Microorganisms
- The gut of cows and buffaloes possesses methanogens.
- True nucleus is absent in Mycoplasma.
Environmental Indicators
- Lichens are suitable indicators of pollution in the environment.
Characteristics of Organisms
- Cell walls are absent in Mycoplasma.
- Fungi multiply by fragmentation.
- Plasmogamy is the fusion of two haploid cells, including their nuclei.
###Viruses
- Viruses enter a cell, replicate, and cause the cell to burst, releasing new viruses (lytic cycle).
- Capsid is the protein cover of a virus.
- Viruses do not belong to any kingdom.
Microbial Features
- Cyanobacteria are also referred to as blue-green algae.
- Chromatophores are pigment-containing membranous extensions in some cyanobacteria.
Conservation
- Zoological parks are an in vivo mode of conservation, where wild animals are kept under human care.
