6 Kingdoms of Living Things Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia
Domain Archaea or Kingdom Archaebacteria Prokaryote unicellular Often do not need oxygen Live in harsh environments; classified base on where they live (such as thermal vents deep in ocean, salt-lakes, acidic environments, some even in ice!)
Domain or Kingdom: Bacteria Prokaryote unicellular Often do need oxygen Live and feed by decomposing other cells. Some can do photosynthesis. Cell walls made of peptidoglycan. video
Baceria Shapes 1. Bacilli: - Rod-shaped 2. Cocci: - Spherical (round like a coconut) 3. Spirilla: - Long and spiral shaped.
Heterotrophic Bacteria 1. Free-living consumers: E. coli Azobacter converts initrogen into ammonium, making it available for plant use; E. coli lives in your colon, feeds on your waste and makes vitamin K for you. 2. Parasitic: Always needs an organism to get food or shelter (host): Impetigo is caused by strains Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. 3. Decomposers: Pseudomonas bacteria in the soil recycles dead plants and animals by turning them into minerals and nutrients that plants and microbes can use.
Autotrophic Bacteria Producers -> Use sunlight to make food and are often green. Example: Cyanobacteria: Blue-green algae Lives in water Has chlorophyll (green pigment for photosynthesis) Some others have blue or red pigment. Red Pigmentgive the flamingo that coloration.
Domain Eukaryota Eukaryote Unicellular or multicellular Includes Kingdom Animalia, KingdomPlantae, Kingdom Fungi and Protista.
Protist Kingdoms Eukaryote Unicellular Heterotroph or Autotroph No cell walls in Protozoa
Protista includes Protozoa of 4 main groups: classified based on movement
Protista includes several types of Algae and Seaweed classified based on chemical criteria (PS pigments)
Kingdom Plantae Eukaryote multicellular Autotrophs: Photosynthesis Strong cell walls made of cellulose
4 Main Divisions of Plants
Kingdom Fungi Eukaryote Multicellular or possibly unicellular Heterotroph: absorb nutrients from decomposing organisms Cell walls made of protein (chitin), not cellulose video
Fungi are classified by how they make SPORES
9 Major Animal Phyla Porifera (sponges) Cnidaria (jellyfish) Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Nematoda (roundworms) Annelida (segmentedworms) Mollusca (snails, clams, squid) Arthropoda (insects, crabs) Echinodermata (starfish) Chordata (vertebrates)
Kingdom Animalia Eukaryote multicellular Heterotroph: eat other organisms Cells lack cell walls
VIRUS: NOT A KINGDOM!!
What is a virus? Non-living particle, smaller than a cell that can infect living organisms (hosts). Structure of Virus: Capsid (Protein coat) Genetic Material (DNA or RNA) Protein coat that matches with their host only.
How to Classify Viruses By their shape Type of disease they cause. Kind of genetic material they have (DNA, RNA)
Shapes: Cylinders Spheres Crystals Spacecraft Ex. Tobacco mosaic virus, attacks tobacco plants. Spheres Ex. Influenza virus Crystals Ex. Polio Virus Spacecraft - Attacks only bacteria.
Lytic Cycle Process used by virus using a cell to make more of their kind.
Lysogenic Cycle
Are virus alive? There is no cure, only a treatment. Don’t eat, grow, or break down food. They are not made of cells. They need a host cell to reproduce. There is no cure, only a treatment. Antibiotics DO NOT kill viruses Antiviral medications only stop viruses from reproducing.
