Study Notes
Insect Taxonomy
- Classification system that organizes organisms to reveal natural relationships.
Kingdom
- Characteristics: heterotrophic, multicellular, and eukaryotic organisms.
Phylum
- Invertebrates with key features: an exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and jointed legs.
Class
- Distinctive traits: six legs, wings, two antennae, and three body segments (head, thorax, abdomen).
Simple Metamorphosis
- Consists of three life stages: fertilized egg, nymph, and adult.
Complete Metamorphosis
- Comprises four stages: fertilized egg, larval (worm-like) stage, pupal (transformative) stage, and adult.
Body Parts of Insects
- Main structures include head, thorax, and abdomen.
Head
- Features: simple and compound eyes, two antennae for sound response, and various mouthparts.
Thorax
- Structure: divided into three segments (prothorax, mesothorax, metathorax) and hosts legs and wings.
Abdomen
- Consists of ten segments, has openings for respiration allowing oxygen circulation.
Examples of Simple Metamorphosis
- Organisms such as crickets, bugs, and grasshoppers.
Examples of Complete Metamorphosis
- Organisms include ants, flies, butterflies, beetles, and mosquitoes.
Arthropods
- Multicellular consumers that lack chlorophyll, characterized by exoskeletons, jointed legs, and segmented bodies.
- Divided into five classes: Centipedes, Millipedes, Crustaceans, Insects, and Arachnids.
Characteristics of Insects
- Notable features include jointed legs, segmented bodies, exoskeletons, three pairs of legs, two antennae, and the potential for wings.
Taxonomy Order Mnemonic
- Utilize the phrase: "King-Kingdom, Phillip-Phylum, Came-Class, On-Order, Friday-Family, Gave-Genus, Speech-Species" to remember the classification hierarchy.
Cell Types
- Eukaryote: Organisms with cells that contain a nucleus.
- Prokaryote: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus.
Multicellular vs. Unicellular
- Multicellular: Composed of many cells.
- Unicellular: Composed of a single cell.
Nucleus
- A cell's dense region housing nucleic acids.
