Unit 1 Study Guide

• Know each CHARACTERISTICS OF all LIFE and the way it functions in the organisms.

MRS. GREN

• Movement Growth• Respiration Reproduction• Sensitivity Excretion Nutrition

Naming and the organization of the different organisms

• Kingdom• Phylum• Class• Order• Family• Genus• species

• Who came up with the naming system and is known as “The father of Taxonomy”?

All of these are arthropods but only one is a crustacean. One of these organisms doesn’t belong. Which one?

If you said the crab, you are correct! The spider, tick and scorpion are all arachnids.

The crab is a crustacean.

Botanists are able to divide the 235,000 species of angiosperms (flowering plants) into two large groups based on the structure of their

seeds

Dichotomous Keys

Use this key to identify this animal

1. Has a backbone-----go to 2

Has no backbone----go to 3

2. Has four legs-------animal A

Has six legs----------animal B

3. Has a shell-----------animal C

Has no shell----------animal D

Is this animal A, B,. C, or D?

Hopefully you chose - A

The turtle is a vertebrate, with four legs and a shell but letter A followed the correct path.

Cells

• Cell theory

• Organelles and their functions

• Specialized cells: their adaptations and functions

• Root hair cells• Xylem vessels• Red blood cells• Ciliated cells• Muscle cells

Diffusion and osmosis

• What is the difference between the two?

In these examples is the movement of particles osmosis, diffusion or are both processes occurring at the same time?

1. Egg lab using Hypotonic solutions?

2. Egg using hypertonic solutions?

3. In class when we saw the Lysol demo, the chocolate demo and the dye in the water?

4. The dialysis bag with the corn starch and the iodine?

How did you do?

1. Osmosis

2. Osmosis

3. Diffusion

4. Both

How did you do?

• This is a basic review.

• You should go over your notebook, review the powerpoints on my website, finish any assignment in unit one that would help clarify the material.

• Good luck
