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.

Cell Membrane Structure and Function - 10 views

  •  
    1. Channel Proteins - form small openings for molecules to difuse through 2. Carrier Proteins- binding site on protein surface "grabs" certain molecules and pulls them into the cell, (gated channels) 3. Receptor Proteins - molecular triggers that set off cell responses (such as release of hormones or opening of channel proteins) 4.

Structure of the Plasma Membrane - 3 views

  •  
    Like all other cellular membranes, the plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins. The fundamental structure of the membrane is the phospholipid bilayer, which forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments. In the case of the plasma membrane, these compartments are the inside and the outside of the cell.

    Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body's hereditary material and can make copies of themselves.

Cell Membranes - Protector of the Cytoplasm - 4 views

  •  
    The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosing its contents. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances into the cell, while keeping other substances out.

    All living organisms on Earth are divided into cells. The main concept of cell theory is that cells are the basic structural unit for all organisms. Cells are small compartments that hold the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive and successful.

Cytoplasm - 4 views

  •  
    Cytoplasm can be defined as the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus, according to Apple Inc. Dictionary. Or in other words the jell like stuff that surrounds nucleus in our cells. The main Job of this is to keep everything in place to be a storage place for chemicals.

    Cell Structure: There are many different types, sizes, and shapes of cells in the body. For descriptive purposes, the concept of a generalized cell is introduced. It includes features from all cell types. A cell consists of three parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm.

The Cell Membrane - 12 views

  •  
    Cell membranes also contain cholesterol in the phospholipid bilayer. In some membranes there are only a few cholesterol molecules, but in others there are as many cholesterols as phospholipids according to Audesirk & Audesirk. Cholesterol makes the bilayer stronger, more flexible but less fluid, and less permeable to water-soluble substances such as ions and monosaccharides.

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.

    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!!!!
  •  
    I didn't know that a animal or a plant specie had 2 terms, the first identifies the genus, and the second term belongs to the specie itself

    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.

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.
