A+
Chemoautotroph - ANSWER an organism that depends on inorganic chemicals for its
energy and principally on carbon dioxide for its carbon
Dichotomous Key - ANSWER used to identify a plant or animal in which each stage
presents descriptions of two distinguishing characters, with a direction to another stage in
the key, until the species is identified
,Binomial Nomenclature - ANSWER a system for naming plants and animals by means of
two Latin names: the first indicating the genus and the second the species to which the
organism belongs
Autotroph - ANSWER any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic
materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source
of energy
Taxon - ANSWER A taxonomic category or group, such as a phylum, order, family, genus,
or species
chemosynthesis - ANSWER the formation of organic material by certain bacteria using
energy derived from simple chemical reactions
taxonomy - ANSWER the science dealing with the description, identification, naming, and
classification of organisms
Prokaryote - ANSWER any cellular organism that has no nuclear membrane, no organelles
in the cytoplasm except ribosomes, and has its genetic material in the form of single
continuous strands forming coils or loops
Eukaryote - ANSWER any organism having as its fundamental structural unit a cell type
that contains specialized organelles in the cytoplasm, a membrane-bound nucleus
enclosing genetic material organized into chromosomes, and an elaborate system of
division by mitosis or meiosis
Exoskeleton - ANSWER A hard, protective outer body covering of an animal, such as an
insect, crustacean, or mollusk
Endoskeleton - ANSWER The internal supporting framework of humans and other
, vertebrates, usually made of bone
Dorsal - ANSWER Relating to or on the back or upper surface of an animal
Ventral - ANSWER Relating to or on the front or lower surface of an animal
Aerobic Respiration - ANSWER a type of respiration in which oxygen is taken in and
carbon dioxide and water are produced
Anaerobic Respiration - ANSWER an incomplete intracellular breakdown of sugar or
other organic compounds in the absence of oxygen that releases energy; cellular
respiration in the absence of oxygen
Pollution - ANSWER The contamination of air, water, or soil by substances that are
harmful to living organisms
Endotherm - ANSWER a warm-blooded animal
Ectotherm - ANSWER a cold-blooded animal
Commensalism - ANSWER A symbiotic relationship in which one organism derives
benefit while causing little or no harm to the other
Parasitism - ANSWER A symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the
other is generally harmed
Mutualism - ANSWER A symbiotic relationship in which each of the organisms benefits
