OAE Biology: Protists, Fungi & Viruses - Chapter Objectives

The Ohio Assessments for Educators (OAE) Biology exam includes five subareas, each covering different subject matter. One section, focused on biological unity and diversity, incorporates questions about viruses, protists, and fungi. Twenty percent of the questions on the exam appear in this domain. The OAE Biology exam uses 150 multiple-choice questions and lasts for three hours. Educators hoping to teach life sciences will need to pass the OAE Biology exam.

1. The Evolution of Prokaryotes: Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

The first living organisms on Earth were bacteria. These small organisms still exist today and are responsible for many things. In this lesson, we will explore both ancient bacteria and true bacteria.

2. The Evolution of Protists: Importance & Evolutionary History

Some organisms are very familiar. However, there are some that play vital roles in our lives that we don't even think about. We will look at a group of one of these unfamiliar kingdoms - protists.

3. The Evolution of Plants and Fungi: Characteristics & Evolutionary History

In early classification systems, plants and fungi were grouped together. While there are some similarities between these two kingdoms, there are some key differences that we will explore.

4. Viruses: Definition, Classification & Life Cycle

From the common cold to HIV, viruses can be an annoyance, and even have the potential to kill you. This lesson will define what a virus is, describe how scientists classify them and will give an overview of the virus life cycle.
