Unit 2
 Viruses
Explain why viruses are not placed in the five kingdom classification system.
Draw and label a virus with all possible parts.
Give the size range of viruses.
Explain the
 the lytic pathway
 the lysogenic pathway
Differentiate between different viral types: DNA viruses and RNA viruses, give examples
 Kingdom Monera
State the principal characteristics of members of the Kingdom Monera.
Explain the differences between the Eubacteria and the Archaebacteria and explain why some
taxonomists think that the Archaebacteria should be considered as a sixth kingdom.
State the common and scientific names for the three basic shapes of bacteria. Describe the
arrangement that the following prefixes describe in relation to bacteria: strepto..., staphylo...,
diplo...,
List the modes/methods of nutrition and respiration found in bacteria.
Describe the most common form of reproduction in bacteria.
Draw and label a typical bacterial cell.
 Kingdom Protista
State the characteristics of the kingdom Protista.
Name the three distinct subgroups that make up the Protista (according to Nelson).
State the main characteristics by which the Protista are classified including each of the three
phyla that make up the Protista and their modes of nutrition.
Describe and draw the main characteristics of the representative organisms: euglena,
paramecium and amoeba.
 Kingdom Fungi

EXAM!
Unit 3
 Respiratory System
Name the two gases typically involved in gas exchange.
Explain how simple organisms and plants carry out gas exchange.
State how gas exchange takes place in larger, more advanced organisms.
Everything on your respiration work package including structures, inhalation and exhalation etc.
 The Digestive System
Everything on your digestion work package including structures, organs and their functions etc.
 Homeostasis
Explain, using all the systems studies (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, how different
animal systems, help maintain homeostasis (317-1)
 Circulatory Systems (general)
Define circulation and explain its purpose.
Explain the processes equivalent to circulation in single-celled organisms like amoeba.
Name and explain the differences between the two types of circulatory systems found in the
animal kingdom. Describe an open circulatory system. Describe a closed circulatory system.
Name three lines of evolutionary change that occur in the circulatory systems of vertebrates as
one goes from primitive to more advanced creatures.
 The Human Circulatory System
Label a diagram of the human heart and state the function of each part.
Explain how blood flows through the heart
Explain the functions of arteries, capillaries and veins.
 The Immune System
Understand the importance of the immune system
Cells and cell parts found in the blood (red blood cells, “white” blood cells, platelets)
