Biology4Kids.com: Cell Structure: Cell Walls - 4 views

  •  
    While cell membranes might be around every cell, cell walls made of cellulose are only found around plant cells. Cell walls are made of specialized sugars called cellulose. Cellulose provides a protected framework for a plant cell to survive. It's like taking a water balloon and putting it in a cardboard box.

Biology4Kids.com: Cell Structure: Cytoplasm - 4 views

  •  
    Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills a cell. Scientists used to call the fluid protoplasm. Early on, they didn't know about the many different types of fluids in the cell. There is special fluid in the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and nucleus.

    In this lab you will look at the eukaryotic cells of plants and animals. Eukaryotic cells are distinguished from the more primitive prokaryotic cells by the presence of 1) cytoplasmic membranous organelles, 2) a nuclear membrane (i.e. a true nucleus), and 3) chromosomal proteins.

    It was interesting to learn where our identities come from!!
  •  
    It is a system in which organisms are classified! Never knew that...
  •  
    I learned that a genus is a classification of organisms.
  •  
    Wow three definitions for one word.
  •  
    I also learned that binomial nomenclature is the system where plants or animals are specified to which genus and species they belong to.
  •  
    I didn't know that binomial nomenclature had 2 terms! I just thought it had 1!!!!

Biological Classification: What Is Binomial Nomenclature? - 12 views

    Summary of the Linnean system of binomial nomenclature, the scientific way to name living things with a generic (genus) and specific (species) name.

    I thought this was easy to read and really helped. It finally helped me remember how to classify. I now know where a family is, and what a species is. Learning about the family helped spur my memory. Kingdom Phylum Chordata Order Family Genus Species
  •  
    I did not know that the Linnean system of classification is still used today. I also learned that binomial nomenclature is the of naming organisms consisting of two Latinized names. I always knew that every plant and animal had a scientific name, but I didn't know that the concept is called binomial nomenclature and I didn't know it was still used today.
  •  
    Binomial nomenclature is also known as taxonomy.
  •  
    I did not know that all living things and some viruses have a scientific name. Very interesting!

  •  
    Carl Linnean was the founder of binomial nomenclature, which is used for naming living things. I was really happy to learn who was the one that created this classification, that we still use in present day. It also makes it easier to access the real scientific names of all plants and animals.

Carolus Linnaeus (Swedish botanist) :: Classification by "natural characters" - 9 views

  •  
    Classification by "natural characters" Linnaeus did not consider the sexual system to be his main contribution toward the "reformation of botany" to which he aspired. His main contribution came in the form of a booklet, the Fundamenta Botanica (1736; "The Foundations of Botany"), that framed the principles and rules to be followed in the classification and naming of plants.

  •  
    I learned the name of the founder of the binomial nomenclature.

    This was so interesting!
  •  
    I learned that Binomial Nomenclature is the formal naming system of the different species on Earth.
  •  
    I learned the name of the founder of binomial nomenclature and the ways that he categorized the different species

    I learned the Carolus Linnaeus was the person who had the way we categories the plants and animals of the world from our previous ways of doing it.

Nomenclature, Classification - 10 views

    Biological Nomenclature Important internet sites regarding nomenclature: One of the primary responsibilities of systematic biology is the development of our biological nomenclature and classifications. Nomenclature is not an end to systematics and taxonomy but is a necessity in organizing information about biodiversity.

    I learned the difference between common names and scientific names.
  •  
    I learned that there are many classifications in binomial nomenclature.

Binomial nomenclature - 12 views

  •  
    The essence of this system of naming is this: each species name is formed out of (modern scientific) Latin (or is a Latinized version of other words), and has two parts, the genus name and the species name (also known as the specific epithet), for example, Homo sapiens , the name of the human species.

  •  
    From New World Encyclopedia In biology, binomial nomenclature is the formal system of naming species whereby each species is indicated by a two-part name, a capitalized genus name followed by a lowercase specific epithet or specific name, with both names italicized (or underlined if handwritten, not typeset) and both in (modern scientific) Latin.

    Now I know what this means! I thought it was something like a dichotomous key...

Curiosities of Biological Nomenclature: Rules - 9 views

  •  
    Rules for assigning scientific names have become well codified in order to keep the names internationally unambiguous and understandable. The full set of rules is rather involved, but the most important parts are fairly simple: Binomens - A genus name is one word. A species name is binomial -- the genus plus a second word.
