BI234: HISTORY AND CLASSIFICATION EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
GRADED A+
Began making simple microscopes
Antoni van Leeuwenhoek
Organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye
Microorganisms
Developed a taxonomic system for naming plants and animals and grouping
similar organisms together
Carolus Linnaeus
What are the six kingdoms?
Bacteria, Archaea, Fungi, Protozoa , Algae, and Small multicellular animals
Unicellular, lack nuclei, reproduce asexually, have cell walls and other lack cell
walls
Bacteria
Unicellular, lack nuclei, reproduce asexually, cell walls are different
Archaea
Eukaryotic (have membrane-bound nucleus), obtain food from other organisms,
have cell walls
Fungi
, Multicellular; grow as long filaments
Molds
Unicellular, budding cells
Yeasts
Single-celled eukaryotes, similar to animals in cellular structure
Protozoa
Most of these species are capable of locomotion by:
Pseudopods, cilia, flagella
Unicellular or multicellular; photosynthetic
Algae
Other types of multicellular organisms
Parasitic worms and viruses
Aristotle proposed this theory that living things can arise from nonliving matter
Spontaneous Generation
When decaying meat was kept isolated from flies, maggots never developed
Meat exposed to flies was soon infested
As a result, scientists began to doubt Aristotle's view
Fancesco Redi's Experiment
Scientists agreed that large animals could not arise spontaneously, but believed
microbes could
John Needham
Experiments did not support SG and contradicted Needham's experiments, he
capped jars more thoroughly, microbes come from the air
