Unit 9 - Taxonomy
Living Organisms Living organisms are grouped into 3 broad categories called DOMAINS Domains –Archaea –Bacteria –Eukarya
Each Domain has different Kingdoms that belong with it Domain Archaea –Kingdom Archaebacteria Domain Bacteria –Kingdom Eubacteria Domain Eukarya –Kingdom Animalia –Kingdom Plantae –Kingdom Fungi –Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Eubacteria Streptococcus pyogenes Escheria coli
Kingdom Eubacteria Domain Bacteria Prokaryote Cell wall, peptidoglycan Unicellular Autotrophic & heterotrophic Can be the cause of many different diseases
Kingdom Archaebacteria ma/lecture_6/ Halophile (salt lover) Methanogen /astrobio html
Kingdom Archaebacteria Domain Archaea Prokaryote Cell wall, no peptidoglycan Unicellular Autotrophic & Heterotrophic Known as Extremophiles – live in harsh conditions Earliest organisms to have lived
