Phylum Monera Kingdom of monera is made up of simple single celled organisms. Prokaryotic cells Monerans’ have four Phyla
Phyla of Monera Phylum: Schizophyta- The largest phylum of Monera. Contains organisms commonly known as bacteria Phylum: Archaebateria- primitive organisms that live in harsh climates Phylum: Cyanophyta: Organisms known as blue-green bacteria Phylum:Prochlorophyta: Monera that live in marine environments
General Information 5,000 species of monerans have been identified Bacteria surround us- they are necessary for life but also cause disease Bacteria is used in many different ways by modern science
Uses of bacteria Cause Decay- Useful in natural recycling Used in food production- Change the original form of food into the product we eat Medicine- Species of bacteria are used in the production of antibiotics Feed for animals- Used in Aquaculture Water Treatment- convert toxic substances in water into safe substances Growing Crops- convert nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use
Kingdom Protista Single celled organisms More complex than Monera More than 65,000 organisms have been classified into the kingdom Protista 9 Phyla in Kingdom Protista
Phyla of Protista Sarcodina- Have cell membranes that are flexible. Includes Amebas Ciliophora- These organisms have tiny hairs called cilia to move around. Zoomastigina- Have a long whip like structure called a flagellum for locomotion. Sporozoa- Have know means of locomotion they are carried in the bodies of host animals
Phyla of Protista Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, Chrysophyta, Pyrrophyta- these are the five phyla of algae, algae are plant like organisms that can make there own food Colonial algae are groups of algae cells that act as a unit and share functions needed for life
How Protists Effect Life Can cause disease Used to polish or grind stones Provide Food Add Oxygen to water and air
