1. Review vocabulary and concepts
Biodiversity unit

2. Viruses
What are they?
Genetic material (DNA/RNA) surrounded by a protein coat
Give 2 reasons why they could be considered alive
Can replicate when they are in a living organism
Have DNA or RNA

3. Viruses Give 2 reasons why they could be considered nonliving
No cell structures
Can’t carry on life processes without a host organism
Can’t move, grow or feed

4. archaea Characteristics? Prokaryotes (do not have a nucleus)
Single celled
Reproduce asexually
Live in extreme places (Extremophiles)

5. Bacteria Characteristics? Prokaryotes (do not have a nucleus)
Single celled
Reproduce asexually
Live almost everywhere

6. bacteria What is an antibiotic?
A medicine used to kill bacteria inside our bodies
Some antibiotics are made by bacteria to kill other bacteria

7. bacteria What is an aerobe? What is an anaerobe?
An organism that needs oxygen to live
What is an anaerobe?
An organism that does not need oxygen to live

8. bacteria
What are some types of food/beverages that bacteria are used to make?
Yogurt, sour cream and some cheeses
Vinegar, soy sauce
Pickles, sauerkraut, kim chi

9. Bacteria
What are some diseases or problems that bacteria cause in humans?
Tuberculosis, pneumonia
Strep throat, ear infections
Food poisoning by Salmonella, E.coli, and botulism
Tooth decay, acne

10. Archea & Bacteria What is binary fission?
A type of asexual reproduction
A parent cell doubles its DNA and then pinches off into 2 identical cells

11. Kingdom: protists Characteristics? Eukaryotes Mostly single celled
Some have a cell wall
Some have chloroplasts
Some can move
Asexual reproduction (but some can do both)
Ex. Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, Slime molds

12. Kingdom: protists
Why is the protist kingdom sometimes called the “junk” kingdom?
The protist kingdom includes organisms that share some characteristics with plants, animals and fungi but that are simpler or single-celled.

13. Kingdom: Fungi Characteristics? Eukaryotes Mostly multicellular
Some have a cell wall
Do not have chloroplasts
Can’t move
Both asexual and sexual reproduction
Ex. Molds, mildews, mushrooms, yeast, lichen

14. FUngi What are hyphae? What are spores? Cells connected in long tubes
They are threadlike
What are spores?
Small, circular cells that will become new fungi if they land on a suitable food source

15. FUngi How do fungi get their food? What is a decomposer?
They ooze digestive enzymes which break down food into smaller molecules which are then absorbed by the hyphae
What is a decomposer?
An organism that breaks down dead tissue

16. FUngi What energy process do yeast do?
Fermentation
What is the equation for this process?
Sugar  CO2 + Alcohol + 2ATP

17. Kingdom: Plants Characteristics? Eukaryotes Multicellular
Have a cell wall and chloroplasts
Can’t move
Most do sexual reproduction, but some can do asexual reproduction too
Ex. Mosses, ferns, grasses, trees, daffodils

18. Plants What energy process do plants do to make their food?
Photosynthesis
What is the equation for this process?
6CO2 + 6H2O + light  6O C6H12O6

19. Kingdom: animals Characteristics? Eukaryotes Multicellular
Do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts
Can move (at some point in life cycle)
Most do sexual reproduction, but some can do asexual reproduction too
Ex. Sponges, clams, crabs, bees, sea stars, dogs, snakes

20. C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O+Energy(ATP)
animals
What energy process do animals and plants do to release energy from their food?
Respiration
What is the equation for this process?
 C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O+Energy(ATP)
