The science of classification - ANSWER Criteria for identification, arrange in
groups and how evolved a species is
Basic Principles of Taxonomy - ANSWER Laid down by Linnaeus. He is known as
"father or taxonomy"
Binomial Nomenclature - ANSWER A system for giving each organism a two-word
scientific name that consists of the genus name followed by the species name
subgroup of a species - ANSWER strain
Species - ANSWER Group of morphologically similar individuals that can
successfully produce viable offspring
species name - ANSWER the two-part scientific name of a species composed of
the genus and the species identifier
Linnaeus system of classification - ANSWER His system classified organisms
based on characteristics in common, grouped organisms that can interbreed into
categories called species, used binomial nomenclature
binomial nomenclature rules - ANSWER Always capitalize genus name, use lower
case for specific epithet. Once mentioned and understood, it can be abbreviated. Ex:
H. sapiens, when typed use italics, when hand written underline
S. mutans - ANSWER tooth decay
S. pyogenes - ANSWER strep throat
Kingdom Animalia - ANSWER multicellular, cell membranes, outer boundary,
ingestion or absorption of food molecules

vectors
Robert Hooke - ANSWER first to observe "small chambers" in cork and call them
cells.
The Cell Theory - ANSWER idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells
are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are
produced from existing cells
Antoni Leeuwenhoek - ANSWER microscopes, first to discover animalcules
(Microbes)
spontaneous generation - ANSWER Hypothesis stating that life could arise from
nonliving matter.
Abiogenesis - ANSWER theory that life can originate from nonliving matter;
spontaneous generation
Louis Pasteur - ANSWER A French chemist, this man discovered that heat could
kill bacteria that otherwise spoiled liquids including milk, wine, and beer. Swan-
necked flasks
Fermentation - ANSWER Process by which cells release energy in the absence of
oxygen, yeast ferments and makes alcohol and yeast. Bacteria ferments and makes
acid
Pasteurization - ANSWER treating a substance with heat to kill or slow the growth
of pathogens
Germ Theory of Disease - ANSWER idea that infectious diseases are caused by
microorganisms developed by Pasteur
Robert Koch - ANSWER German doctor who identified the bacterium that caused
