Slide # 2 Kingdom: Archaebacteria Go to Section: Bacillus infernus lives in deep sea vents in the ocean – obtains energy from Earth’s heat Also called extremophiles Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic Unicellular or Multicellular Autotroph or Heterotroph Cell Wall Present – Yes or No (made of) Other Defining Characteristics ProkaryoticUnicellularBothYes, but does not contain peptidoglycan Live in extreme environments None cause human disease Methanogens: live in intestinal tracts of humans & cows Halophiles : live in Great Salt Lake, Dead Sea Thermophiles: hydrothermal and volcanic vents. Domain: Archaea

Slide # 3 Domain: Bacteria Go to Section: E. coli Streptococcus Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic Unicellular or Multicellular Autotroph or Heterotroph Cell Wall Present – Yes or No (made of) Other Defining Characteristics ProkaryoticUnicellularBothYes, it does contain peptidoglycan Some cause disease such as Streptococcus & E. coli Decomposers; involved in the Carbon and Nitrogen cycles Kingdom: Eubacteria

Slide #4 Kingdom Protista Go to Section: Paramecium Green algae Amoeba Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic Unicellular or Multicellular Autotroph or Heterotroph Cell Wall Present – Yes or No (made of) Other Defining Characteristics EukaryoticMost are unicellular Some algae are multicellular BothPlant-like have cell wall Fungus-like have cell walls Animal-like do not have cell walls Grouped by how they get food Some can move: Pseudopods: cytoplasmic projections Cilia: hair like structures that surround cell Flagella: whip-like structures Domain: Eukarya Very Diverse Kingdom Pseudopods
