Kingdom Notes

Characteristics of the 6 Kingdoms Kingdom Eubacteria: Domain: Bacteria a. all microscopic prokaryotes b. almost all are unicellular c. non-motile d. commonly called bacteria e. ex: E. coli, Salmonella, Ebola Kingdom Archaebacteria: Domain: Archae a. prokaryotes b. live in extreme environment c. Possible precursor to Eukaryotes d. Ex: Methanogens and Halophiles *Both have cell walls with varying thickness

Characteristics of Bacteria 3 Shapes 1. Coccus- Circle 2. Bacillus- Rod 3. Spirillum- Spiral Obtain Energy Most are - Heterotrophs Special ones are Autotroph Types of Reproduction Asexual Binary Fission Spore formation (Eubacteria only) Sexual Conjugation

Kingdom Protista: Domain: Eukarya a. eukaryotes b. uni and multicellular c. live in moist environments d. most are simple, microscopic & mobile e. Some have cell walls, some do not f. reproduce sexual or asexual g. Both hetero- and autotrophs

Examples of Protists Animal Like Plant Like Fungus Like Amoeba Algae Slime Molds

Kingdom Fungi: Domain: Eukarya a. Eukaryotes b. Uni and Multicellular c. Have cell wall – Do not move d. Examples: mushrooms,molds, & mildew

Fungi Lichens- fungus and algae Heterotroph Composition Reproduction: Multinucleated- many nuclei Hyphae- individual threadlike structures Mycelium- Mass of interconnected hyphae Reproduction: Sexually Asexually Classified by reproductive structure Lichens- fungus and algae Heterotroph Saprophytic - Decompose dead organisms

Kingdom Plantae: Domain: Eukarya a. multicellular eukaryotes b. Autotrophs - Photosynthetic c. Cell wall- stationary d.Examples: plants e. Asexual or sexual reproduction

a. Multicellular eukaryotes Kingdom Animalia: Domain: Eukarya a. Multicellular eukaryotes b. NO cell wall- mobile c. Heterotrophs d. Sexual reproduction –allows for more variation e. Examples: Animals

Viruses Does not belong to a domain Not made of cells Outer boundary- made of a protein coat (capsid) Type of Reproduction Lytic Lysogenic Uses host cell’s energy Examples: cold, flu, Polio
