KEY Taxonomy Review Instructions – Briefly, but completely, answer the following questions in the space provided. Use your notes textbook pg. 320-325 and textbook glossary as resources. 1.) Distinguish between the following terms. Include an example of each. a.) unicellular and multicellular uni = one cell and multi = many cells Ex. – amoeba and dog b.) heterotroph and autotroph heterotroph = cannot make own food, must feed on other living organisms. Ex. - bird Autotroph = can manufacture own food from sun and inorganic material. Ex. - grass c.) prokaryote and eukaryote prokaryote = simple cell with no membrane bound nucleus and organelles. Ex. - bacteria eukaryote = complex cell that does have a membrane bound nucleus and organelles. Ex. - humans d.) organic molecules and inorganic molecules organic = contains carbon and often hydrogen. Ex. – sugars (C6H12O6) inorganic = does not contain carbon except carbides, carbon oxides, and carbonates. Ex. – Iron (Fe) 2a.) List the taxonomic categories from species to kingdom. Kingdom (ii) (iii) Phylum Class Order Genus (i) Species (i) (iv) b.) Label the group above which has the (i) greatest structural similarities (ii) greatest diversity (iii) greatest number of organisms (iv) least number of organisms. 1 KEY c.) For each of the following pairs of terms, select the taxon which has; (i) greater diversity family or class _____Class_____ (ii) smaller number of organisms phylum or order _____Order_____ (iii) higher degree of similarity: genus or family _____Genus_____ (iv) greater number of organisms: class or phylum _____Phylum_____ (v) only natural unit of classification _____Species_____ 3a.) list the rules to follow when writing scientific names. Write Genus capitalised first and followed by species with all in italics or underlined. b.) Use the information in the table below to write scientific names for each of the following. Use correct format! Common Name Spotted skunk Red maple Grizzly bear Species Name putorius Rubrum Arctos Genus Name Spilogale Acer ursus Scientific Name Spilogale putoris Acer rubrum Ursus arctos c.) What are the advantages of using scientific names? Organized and global language for all scientists. 4.) Using your textbook pages 325, 327, 328 compare and contrast the following kingdoms of organisms. Set your answers up in the form of a table. Include two examples of each. a.) protist and fungi Protist single/multicellular eukaryotic motile Usually asexual b.) animal and plant animal multicellular eukaryotic motile sexual Fungi single/multicellular eukaryotic non-motile sexual plant multicellular eukaryotic non-motile sexual no cell wall cell wall Protist Ex. Paramecium Amoeba Fungi Ex. Black bread mold Morel mushroom no cell wall cell wall Animal Ex. paramecium amoeba Plant Ex. daisy ginko 2 KEY c.) monera and protist Protist single/multicellular eukaryotic motile Usually asexual Monera single prokaryotic Most motile Both sexual/asexual no cell wall cell wall Protist Ex. euglena stentor Monera Ex. e. coli salmonella 5.) Suppose you discovered a new single celled organism. This organism has a nucleus, mitochondria, and a giant chloroplast. In what kingdom would you place this organism? What are your reasons? 3
