    Study Notes

    Taxonomy

    • Taxonomy is the branch of science that focuses on the classification of organisms.

    3 Main Domains

    • Not mentioned in the provided text.

    5 Kingdoms

    • Kingdom Animalia constitutes all animals and is the largest kingdom, consisting of multicellular eukaryotes.
    • Humans belong to the animal kingdom.

    Plants

    • Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and bear their seeds in fruits, making up approximately 80% of all known living green plants.
    • Gymnosperms are vascular plants that reproduce by means of an exposed seed, or ovule, and are borne in cones.

    2 Classification of Plants

    • Not mentioned in the provided text.

    Organ System of a Plant

    • The shoot system is the organ system that usually grows above the ground.
    • The root system is the organ system that usually grows underneath the soil.

    3 Types of Meristematic Tissue

    • Apical meristematic tissue is located at the tips of stems and roots, enabling a plant to extend in length.
    • Lateral meristematic tissue facilitates growth in thickness or girth in a maturing plant.
    • Intercalary meristematic tissue is located at the bases of leaf blades and at nodes, the areas where leaves attach to a stem.

    3 Types of Permanent Tissue

    • Mesophyll tissue serves as a site for photosynthesis, provides a supporting matrix for the vascular tissue, and helps to store water and sugars.

    Parts of a Leaf

    • Not mentioned in the provided text, except for the image.

    Parts of a Flower

    • Petals are the part of a flower that attracts pollinators with the use of their color and scent.

    Parts of a Frog

    • Not mentioned in the provided text, except for the image.
