10.2 The Five Kingdoms Flashcards
What are the traditional five kingdoms?
Prokaryotae
Protoctista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
State the key features of prokaryotae. (Organelles, where is DNA, nutrients, etc)
-Unicellular
-No organelles, no cell wall
-DNA is a small, naked ring
-Nutrition absorbed through the cell membrane, produced internally, or through photosynthesis
State the key features of protoctista. (Organelles, where is DNA, nutrients, etc)
-Mainly unicellular
-A nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, some have chloroplasts
-Cell wall present
-DNA in nucleus
-Nutrition absorbed through ingestion of other organisms, or photosynthesis
State the key features of fungi. (Organelles, where is DNA, nutrients, etc)
-Unicellular or multicellular
-Nucleus, other membrane-bound organelles, no chloroplasts
-Cell wall present
-DNA in nucleus
-Food stored as glycogen
-Nutrients acquired by absorption
State the key features of plantae. (Organelles, where is DNA, nutrients, etc)
-Multicellular
-Nucleus, other membrane-bound organelles, chloroplasts
-Cell wall present
-DNA in nucleus
-Food stored as starch
-Nutrients acquired by photosynthesis
State the key features of animalia. (Organelles, where is DNA, nutrients, etc)
-Multicellular
-Nucleus, other membrane-bound organelles,
-No cell wall
-Food stored as starch
-Nutrients acquired by ingestion
What is an autotrophic organism?
An organism that gets its nutrition from photosynthesis
What is a heterotrophic organism?
An organism that gets its nutrition by ingesting other organisms
What is a saprophytic organism?
An organism that gets its nutrition by extracellular digestion and absorption of soluble materials
What are the 3 domains?
Eukarya, bacteria, archaea
What is an alternate name for archaebacteria?
Ancient bacteria
What is significant about archaebacteria?
They can live in extreme conditions
What is an alternate name for eubacteria?
True bacteria
What are the kingdoms in the six kingdom system?
Eubacteria, archaebacteria, protoctista, fungi, animalia, plantae
