Corn Human

Kingdom Plantae Animalia

Phylum Anthophyta Chordata

Class Monocotyledonae Mammalia

Order Commelinales Primates

Family Poaceace Hominoidea

Genus Zea Homo

Species Mays Sapiens

*Linnean Classification of

corn compared to a

human

*Linnean Classification of

Corn

**Corn/Maize is apart of the eukaryote domain

* Pantea: this Kingdom includes all land plants

Example- Mosses, Ferns, grass, green algae

* Anthophyta: flowering plants

Biggest of all Phylum plants

dominate the modern world

*Monocotyledonae: 65,000 species including grass and grains

* Commelinales: largest order with 652 species

* Poaceace: 1000 domestic and wild species

example- Maize, wheat, rice, and barley

* Zea: Corn is the only domesticated crop in this Genus

*Mays: Corn

*Cells

*Cells are the smallest unit of life

*Microscopic in nature

*You cant see cells with your naked eye

*Cells are the building blocks of life

*Humans have about 100 trillion cells

*Some cells are used to carry oxygen through the blood

*A cells dimensions are between 1 and 100 micrometers

*Plant vs. Animal Cells

Animal Plant

Only cell membrane Cell wall

Round and irregular in

shape

Fixed rectangular in shape

One or more small vacuole One large vacuole

No chloroplast Chloroplast

*So what’s the relationship

between plants and

animals?

*Plant and animal cells undergo

complimentary processes called

photosynthesis and cellular respiration

*One uses Carbon Dioxide and Water in the

presence of sunlight to produce Sugar and

Oxygen, the other uses Sugar and Oxygen to

produce Energy, Water, and Carbon Dioxide.

*Photosynthesis

* is a process used by plants and other organisms to

convert light energy into chemical energy that can

later be released to fuel the organisms activities

*The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into

usable chemical energy, is associated with the

actions of the green pigment chlorophyll

* this process uses water and lets the oxygen go that

we need to live

*The plant does not use all of the sunlight it obtains

*Cellular Respiration

*Cellular respiration allows organisms to be released

of energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose

*Chemical energy of food molecules is released and

partially captured in the form of ATP (adenosine

triphosphate)

*Produces CO2 and H20 as metabolic waste

*Breaking down sugar in the presence of oxygen

*Cellular Respiration

Continued

Can be broken into 4 stages-

1. Glycolysis: happens in the cytoplasm

2. Transition Reaction: in the mitochondria acid is

broken down

3. Citric Acid Cycle: Happens in the mitochondria

4. Electron Transport chain: electrons from

Hydrogen are carried down an electron transport

chain to result in the production of ATP
