3. The 3 Domains

4.  Prokaryotic  Unicellular  Some of the first life forms on Earth  Mostly found in 3 shapes – spheres, rods and spirals  Contains a cell wall (amino acids)  Ribosomes (70S sedimentation rate)  Eg. Gut flora, syphallis, Lactococcus Bacteria

5.  Prokaryotic  Unicellular  More closely related to Eukarya  Live in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth  Cell wall (proteins – different from bacteria)  Ribosomes (16S sedimentation rate)  Eg. Help in element cycling, mutualism with animals Archae

6.  Eukaryotic  Unicellular or Multicellular  Most complex life forms  Cell walls (chitin or cellulose)  Ribosomes (80S sedimentation rate)  Eg. Amoebas, grasses, mushrooms, elephants Eukarya

7.  Unicellular or multicellular  Contains a membrane bound nucleus and mitochondria  Organelles! Eukaryotes  Unicellular  Does not contain a nucleus or mitochondria  Lacks membrane bound organelles (ER, golgi bodies, etc.) Prokaryotes Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

8.  Eukaryotic, unicellular  Autotrophic or heterotrophic  No cell wall  Eg. Slime molds, Euglena, Paramecium  There are animal-like protists as well as plant-like protists  Cause of Malaria Kingdom Protista

9.  Eukaryotic, multicellular  Heterotrophic (decomposers)  Cell wall made mostly of chitin  Eg. Mold, Yeast, mushrooms, Athlete’s foot, Penecillium  Made up of a mass of small filaments (hypae)  “eat” by secreting digestive enzymes Kingdom Fungi

10.  Eukaryotic, multicellular  Autotrophic  Cell wall of cellulose  Eg. Green algae, moss, ferns, flowering plants, trees  Contain chloroplasts Kingdom Plantae

11.  Eukaryotic, multicellular  Autotrophic  No cell walls  Eg. termites, seahorses,  snakes, goats, gorillas Kingdom Animalia

12. Which Kingdom does it belong in? Duck – Billed Platypus

20. Intro to Ecology

21.  On a blank piece of paper create a word web of all terms involved with ecosystems What is an Ecosystem?

22.  Abiotic and biotic features of a given area  Eg. temperature levels, rainfall, soil types, animals, plants  All organisms in an ecosystem referred to as a community  Changes in ecosystem over time = ecological succession Ecosystem
