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.
This quiz covers the basics of taxonomy, including the 3 main domains and 5 kingdoms of life, with a focus on the animal kingdom.
