King Phillip Came Over For Good Soup
The five kingdoms are ANS: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
The Monera Kingdom (Prokaryotes) ANS: includes about 10,000 known species of prokaryotes such as
bacteria and cyanobacteria. Members of this kingdom can be unicellular organisms or colonies.
Protista Kingdom ANS: unicellular, protozoans and unicellular and multi cellular algae.
Fungi Kingdom ANS: eukaryotic kingdom of heterotrophic decomposers with cell walls made of chitin
Three Domains ANS: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
Human Classification ANS: Domain: Eukarya
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
,Order: Primates
Family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: Sapiens
binomial nomenclature ANS: Classification system in which each species is assigned a two-part
scientific name
Species ANS: A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring.
Natural selection ANS: A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive
and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.
Darwin's Four Principles ANS: 1. From generation to generation, there are various individuals within a
species
2. Genes determine variations
3. More individuals are born than survive to maturation
4. Specific genes enable an organism to better survive
Gradualism ANS: The theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily
punctuated equilibrium ANS: Pattern of evolution in which long stable periods are interrupted by brief
periods of more rapid change
stasis ANS: long periods of no change
scientific knowledge ANS: sum of all scientific inquiries for truths about the natural world
,scientific inquiry ANS: The diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose
explanations based on evidence they gather.
Scientific Method ANS: 1. Identifying a problem or posing a question
2. Formulating a hypothesis or an educated guess
3. Conducting experiments or tests that will provide a basis to solve the problem or answer the
question.
4. Observing the results of the test
5. Drawing conclusions
Important properties of water ANS: high polarity
hydrogen bonding
cohesiveness
adhesiveness
high specific heat
high latent heat
high heat of vaporization
Water is liquidized at ANS: room temperature
, high specific heat of water ANS: It takes a lot of energy to heat up water, which allows for a stable
environment; due to hydrogen bonding
Water is cohesive and adhesive ANS: water is attracted to itself due to hydrogen bonds and it is readily
attracted to other molecules.
Water is hydrophilic ANS: If water tends to adhere to another substance
Water is a good solvent because ANS: substances, particularly with polar ions and molecules, readily
dissolve in water.
Macromolecules ANS: A very large organic molecule composed of many smaller molecules
they play an important role in cell structure and function
The four basic organic macromolecules produced by anabolic reactions are ANS: 1. carbohydrates
(polysaccharides)
2 .nucleic acids
3. proteins
4.lipids
nucleic acids ANS: Nucleic acids are the biopolymers, or small biomolecules, essential to all known
forms of life. The term nucleic acid is the overall name for DNA and RNA. They are composed of
nucleotides, which are the monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group
and a nitrogenous base.
proteins ANS: any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules
composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms,
