SBI3U Diversity of Living Things - Unit in Review

We will be covering material in the following sections of the textbook and focusing on the specific topics listed below: -1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 -2.1, 2.2, 2.3 -3.1. 3.2, 3.3 Key terms from the textbook that you need to know are indicated in bold face.

Biodiversity, Classification, Phylogeny (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4) -describe what biodiversity is and why it is important -distinguish between genetic diversity, species diversity, and structural diversity -characteristics used in biological classification & taxonomy -list the seven taxa (in the correct order) and 3 domains -use taxonomy to determine how closely related species are to each other -name species using binomial nomenclature -use a dichotomous key to identify organisms -describe the importance of phylogeny in classification -determine how closely related organisms are most using phylogenetic trees -distinguish between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Viruses (2.2) -define the characteristics of living organisms & explain why viruses are classified as nonliving -describe the basic structure of all viruses (capsid, DNA or RNA) -give examples of viral diseases [Table 1, page 54] -modes of transmission -epidemic vs. pandemic -describe how vaccines help to protect against viral diseases -describe theories of the origin of viruses -describe action and reproduction of viruses -examples of host range from specific (e.g., bacteriophages) to broad -stages of the lytic cycle (lysis) and lysogenic cycle (lysogeny) -describe how viruses in gene therapy, drug delivery, creating genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) -describe characteristics of & diseases caused by viroids and prions

Prokaryotes (2.1) -describe characteristics shared by all prokaryotes -characteristics of Eubacteria: -structure (including nucleoid, chromosome, pili, plasmid, capsule) -shapes (coccus, bacillus, spirillum) -metabolism (obligate aerobes, facultative aerobes, obligate anaerobes) -reproduction (binary fission, conjugation, transformation) -ability to form endospore -describe the 4 main subgroups of Archaea [Table 3, page 52] -give examples of bacterial diseases [Table 2, page 51] -give examples of helpful roles of bacteria in organisms and ecosystems (e.g., mutualism) -describe how genetic diversity in bacteria can lead to antibiotic resistance Protists (2.3) -describe characteristics of eukaryotes -describe theories of the origin of eukaryotes (e.g., endosymbiosis) -describe the diversity of protists (in number of cells, types of metabolism, reproduction, etc.) -key features of the ciliates (e.g. Paramecium), euglenoids (e.g., Euglena), amoebas -reproduction of unicellular protists (binary fission, conjugation) -give examples of diseases caused by protists -give examples of helpful roles of protists in organisms and ecosystems

LAB ACTIVITY: Investigating Protists (Biological Drawings) -be able to identify Paramecium, Euglena, Amoeba from diagrams -calculate the field diameter when using medium & high objective lens -estimate the size of a specimen when viewed under the microscope (any magnification)

Fungi (3.1) -describe characteristics of fungi -major differences from plants -source of energy -types of reproduction -physical structure of fungi (mycelium with hyphae, chitin in cell walls) -describe the diversity of fungi -characteristics of moulds, yeast, and mushrooms -phylogeny of fungi (to which kingdoms are they more closely related?) -give examples of diseases caused by fungi -give examples of helpful roles of fungi in ecosystems (e.g., mycorrhiza) and ways that fungi are used by humans

Classification of Plants: (3.2) -describe the major distinguishing features of the 4 main groups of plants (bryophytes, lycophytes & pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms)? -phylogeny of major plant groups (which plant groups are more closely related?)

Classification of Animals: (3.3) -describe some of the key features used to classify animals (presence of nervous system, radial symmetry/bilateral symmetry, protostome/deuterostome, vertebrate/invertebrate, number of germ layers, presence of a coelom) -identify the main groups of chordates and describe their distinguishing features
