Virtual Systematics Lab: Introduction to Systematics Worksheet Learning Goal: To learn how biologists classify species based on their evolutionary relationships. Prerequisite Knowledge: Before beginning this lab‚ you should be familiar with these concepts: why biologists today use the three-domain system of classification how evolutionary trees depict biologists’ understandings about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms Introduction: Almost every place on Earth‚ from the surface

Again‚ division/classification deals with how the essay is structured. Following the following formula

decomposes‚ but the silica cell wall still remains after they die. After decomposing it builds up to make diatomaceous earth‚ which has many uses. It can be used for filters‚ insulation‚ abrasives‚ glazes and insecticides. Spirogyra is apart of the phylum Charophyta and is a plant-like autotroph because it is part of green algae. Spirogyra participates in sexual reproduction through a process called isogamy. Isogamy is the sexual reproduction of similar gametes. These gametes can be male or female

Phylum Mollusca Unit 4 Mollusk Introduction Phylum Mollusca Molluscus = soft Soft-bodied animals that usually have an internal or external shell. Includes snails‚ slugs‚ clams‚ squids‚ and octopi. True coelom Complex‚ interrelated organ systems Body Plan The body plan of most mollusks have 4 main parts: foot 2. mantle 3. shell 4. visceral mass 1. Foot: muscular; may be used for crawling‚ burrowing‚ or tentacles for capturing prey Mantle: thin tissue layer

Most animal phyla originated in a relatively brief span of geological time‚ however the diversity among them is extraordinary. Every organism is very unique a detailed in certain ways‚ comparisons of certain types of organisms can be very difficult. The class in which will be compared is that of the invertebrates. The main difference between coelomate and acoelomate body plans are that coelomates have a true coelom‚ which is a fluid-filled body cavity completely lined by tissue which is derived

its meal. Historically‚ the hydrozoans have been divided into a number of orders‚ according to the way they grow and reproduce. (4) “Hydrozoans or “water animals” belong to the phylum Cnidaria. Cnidaria‚ which means “stinging thread” contain over 10‚000 species‚ 3200 of them belonging to class Hydrozoa. This phylum includes things such as Sea Anemones‚ Jellyfish‚ and Corals to sum it up. They are similar in that they possess radial symmetry‚ and all possess nematocysts that sting‚ which is mostly

Lab 4: Fungi Non-filamentous forms — Single-celled Yeasts Do an Internet search for a microscopic image of baker’s yeast‚ Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Ascomycota). Answer the following questions: 1. Do the yeast cells have a definite shape or is there considerable variation? Yeast cells seem to vary in shape‚ some look to be more oval and round‚ although. some slides did show pear and cylinder shapes. 2. Can you detect any subcellular structure? I cannot detect a clearly visible

Out of the two organisms we looked at‚ my favorite is the Paramecium. Paramecium are grouped with protists because‚ like all protists‚ they’re single celled organisms. Paramecium fall under the Protozoa Phylum in the Protist Kingdom. If an organism is in the Protozoa Phylum category‚ that means it is a small microscopic organism‚ which Paramecium are as they can only be seen under a microscope‚ and it reproduces by binary fission (splitting in half‚ becoming two new organisms)‚ which Paramecium do
