Study Notes
The 5 Kingdoms of Life
- The five kingdoms of life are: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protist, and Monera
Characteristics of Kingdoms
- Animal kingdom: multicellular, heterotrophic, and characteristics vary
- Plant kingdom: multicellular, autotrophic, and have photosynthesis
- Fungi kingdom: can be unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic, and absorb nutrients by decomposing dead organisms
- Protist kingdom: can be unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, and have simple structure, most live in water
- Monera kingdom: unicellular, heterotrophic, and microscopic
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
- Autotrophs: organisms that make their own food
- Heterotrophs: organisms that consume other organisms
Classification of Organisms
- Can be classified according to their structure or function
- Structure: body's characteristics/features
- Function: how the body works
Vertebrates and Invertebrates
- Vertebrates: animals with a backbone/spine
- Invertebrates: animals without a backbone/spine
Vertebrate Classes
- The 5 vertebrate classes are: Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals, and Birds
Invertebrates
- Examples of invertebrates include: insects, arachnids, and crustaceans
Biology and Classification
- Biology: the study of living things
- Classification: the grouping of things based on similar characteristics
- Living things are made up of cells and can be classified as unicellular or multicellular
Characteristics of Living Things
- The 7 characteristics of living things are:
- Movement
- Respiration
- Sensitivity
- Growth
- Reproduction
- Excretion
- Nutrition
Naming Species
- Each species has a common name and a scientific name/binomial nomenclature
- Scientific name consists of genus and species name
Cells and Organisms
- A cell is the building block of all living things
- An organism is a living thing
- Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell
- Multicellular organisms are made up of many different types of cells
Respiration and Sensitivity
- Respiration: process of converting food into energy
- Sensitivity: the ability to respond to changes in the environment
