I Love Words
That Rhyme
With
Well…perhaps famous
Is a stretch.
Which kingdom(s)
consists of
organisms that live
in extreme
environments?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Archaebacteria
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What characteristic
do all algae share?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
They’re all
autotrophs.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Which kingdoms
consists of
heterotrophic,
multicellular and
unicellular organisms
that reproduce using
spores?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Fungi
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
In what way are
some protists like
animals?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
They’re
heterotrophic
and can move.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Which kingdoms include ONLY
prokaryotes?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Archaebacteria and Bacteria
(formerly called Eubacteria)
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What is characteristic of
all members of the
kingdom Animalia?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
They are all
multicellular,
eukaryotic, heterotrophs.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What is characteristic of
all (well…almost all)
members of the division
(kingdom) Plantae?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
They are all eukaryotic,
multicellular, autotrophs
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Which kingdom includes eukaryotic
plant-like, animal-like, and fungilike organisms of the unicellular
(and occasionally) multicellular
varieties.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Protista
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What is the term for a
series of paired
statements that is used
to identify living
things?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
A dichotomous key.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Which kingdom
includes the phylum
chordata?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Animalia
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Why do we use a system of
taxonomy?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Taxonomy makes living things easier to
study. Why study? Cuz you and
everything else on Earth are
interrelated!
Food
Medicine
Engineering
Clothing
There’s more but I don’t wanna bore
you.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What does a scientific name
consist of and what is that
naming system called…oh,
and…who came up with it?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
-The organism’s genus and
species names.
Format: Genus species
Es: Carcharadon carcharias
The system is called binomial
nomenclature, and…
-Linnaeus is the dude.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What are some characteristics that
are considered in our modern
classification system, that were not
considered when the study of
taxonomy began?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
The organism’s
evolutionary
history, DNA, and
embryology.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Can two organisms be in the same
genus but different orders?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
NO! A genus is a subgroup of an
order, and all organisms of a genus
are within that order.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What are some shapes of bacteria?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Bacillus (Rod-like)
Cocci (spherical)
Spirella (corkscrew)
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Which level of classification is the
broadest and which is the most
specific?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Broadest:Domain
Most Specific: Species
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What does it mean if two organisms
have many levels of classification in
common?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
The more levels they share, the more
closely they are related and the more
biological characteristics they share.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What is a genus composed of?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
One or more species.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What are the eight
main levels of taxa?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Which taxon is broader
than the order level?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Class.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What is taxonomy?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
The study of how
living things are
classified.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
1.Which pair of organisms is more closely related:
sharks/amphibians OR birds/crocodiles? Explain.
2. What traits do primates and ray-finned fish share?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
1. Birds and crocodiles…closer
together on the diagram.
2. Bony skeleton and vertebrae.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What does it mean if two organisms
share an evolutionary history?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
They have a
common ancestor.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
What characteristics did Aristotle
use to classify organisms ?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
How they moved (fly,
swim, walk) and where
they lived (air, land,
water). Later on he
went to the blood/no
blood thing.
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Why are common names of
organisms confusing at times?
Mr. Blacher's 7th Grade Biology
Some organisms go by
different common names in
different places, and some
common names are used for
different organisms.
Language barriers exist as
well.
