Advanced Biology Semester 2 Review

Why do scientists classify organisms?

• The scientific name sounds more sophisticated than the common name.

• Classification provides a universal ‘language’ of identifying all organisms.

• Scientists only classify the plant kingdom. They do not classify animals, protists, bacteria or fungi.

• The scientific name gives each organism a very broad name.

This type of cell is typically very small, simple and lacks a nucleus.

• Prokaryote

• Eukaryote

• Heterotroph

• Autotroph

An autotroph is...

• An organism that obtains energy from other living things.

• An organism that obtains energy from decomposing material.

• An organism that obtains energy from sources like the sun and converts this energy into a usable form.

• A dead organism.
