Define / Describe binomial of naming
species:
• - Every organism is given 2 names (by Carl Linnaeus, a
Swedish Botanist – in Latin)
- These are: Genus & species (Genus – first letter is capitol,
species is not – both are italic)
• Eg. Canis lupus - Wolf
• Can also be written as C. lupus
Classification – each division has its own
unique characteristics
( REMEMBER: Kings Play Chess On Fine Grained Sand)
• Kingdom – Animal, Plant, Fungi, Prokaryotes, Protista
• Phylum - vertebrates/ arthropods / nematodes / annelids /
mollusks
• Class – fish / reptiles/ birds/ amphibians/ mammals
- crustaceans, insects, myrapods, arachnids

Kingdom: Animals; Phylum: Arthropods includes…
• Crustaceans:

Annelids:
Adaptations (list of features) of organisms (as
above):
Arthropods
Annelids
Nematodes
Molluscs
Myriapods:
- Mandibles / lower jaws
helps crush food easily
-Have poison claws
-Produce irritant liquid used
against predators
-Insects:
-Wings to fly away form
predators
- Antenna enhanced sense of
smell and taste
- exoskeleton that protest
internal organs
Crustaceans:
-Hard outside shell –
protection from predators
- legs have 2 endings like
claws to catch prey (crabs)
Arachnids:
-Many legs = quick mobility
- have waxy layer on skin
allowing to conserve water
- high metabolic rates due to
trachea supplying oxygen
directly to tissue
-Hermaphroditic therefore
faster reproduction
- thin body shape allows
them to burrow in the
ground easily
-- can re-grow their lost
body parts
-Eggs can survive harsh
conditions
- parasitic (some)
therefore are able to get
their nutrition from host
organism
- coved in waxy layer that
is thick that can protect
them in harsh conditions
-Have shells for
protection
-Radula used for scraping
food from surfaces
(algae)
- closed circulatory
systems (makes learning
and memory possible –
like octopus)
- can camouflage to blend
with surroundings
(change color) like
octopus
Kingdom: Plants
• Phylum: Anthrocerotophyta – (one of many)
(Flowering plants)
• Monocotyledon (Monocots):
• Fibrous roots to uptake more water than Dicots
• Over ground damaged roots can regenerate
• Roots expand like a mat to maximize surface area to
exposed minerals
• Dicotyledon (Dicots):
• Larger roots more resistant to damage if pulled
• Well branched / roots go deep underground
• Have thorns for protection (roses)
Some background information on plants
Plants
Animals
•Photosynthesis: take energy from
sunlight to make sugar from Carbon
Dioxide and Water
•Chlorophyll: a pigment that captures
sunlight and allows photosynthesis to
take place.
•Have a cell wall made out of cellulose
•* Flowering plants (sexual
reproduction) that gives seeds.
•**Non flowering plants (ferns –
asexual reproduction)
•Roots / stems and leaves
•No photosynthesis
•Gets nutrients by eating plants and or
other organisms
•No chlorophyll
•No Cell wall.
•No flowering parts but use sexual
reproduction to generate offspring
Monocots / Dicots
• What’s a cotyledon?
Parts of the seed – Mono – one part / Di – 2 parts
Monocots
Dicots
•Long / sharp
leaves
Parallel veins
• Have flowers
with number of
parts divisible by
3
•Leaves with
branching
patterns
•Have flowers
with number of
petals divisible
by 4 or 5
Leaves
Dicot
Monocot
Info on viruses: ~1 nano-meter (1x 10-9 nm)
1. Virus attaches to
the cell’s surface
2. DNA or RNA of the
virus (either /or) *
Nucleic acid =DNA
or RNA = genetic
material – enters
the cell
3. Viral DNA or RNA
makes copy of
itself using the
cell’s own
machinery.
4. Outside the
nucleus the virus
is assembled
5. New viruses leave
the cell
More on Bacteria: 1000 x smaller than
animal cell
• Single cell organism (prokaryotic)
• Cell wall made of peptidoglycan
• No nucleus
More on Fungi
• Do not do photosynthesis /No chlorophyll
• Reproduce via spores
• Saprotropic (secrete enzymes on their food / digest it
and then absorb it)
• Feed on dead and waste matter
Myceluim = main body of
Mushroom
Cell wall made up of chitin
Mycelium made up of Hyphe
( small thread like structures
that grows where the
mushroom is feeding.
