1b - 5 kigdoms + pathog Flashcards
what is a pathogen?
a microscopic organism that can cause a disease
out of the 6 kingdoms how many are pathogens, name them
4/6- prokaryotae, protoctista, fungi, viruses
what is the dustbin kingdom?
protoctista
which kingdoms can be multicellur?
plantae, animalia, fungi,,
which kingdoms can be unicellular
Prokaryotae, fungi, protoctista (NOT VBIRUS, VIRUS DOESN’T HAVE CELLS)
possible microscopic kingdoms?
fungi, prokaryotae, protoctista, viruses
possible NOT microscopic kingdoms?
animalia, plantae, fungi,
which kingdom can be possible autotrophs?
Plantae, prokaryotae
Autotroph definition?
organism that can produce its own foo
prominent autotroph kingdom?
plantae
what is the food source for prokaryotae?
most feed on dead organisms, some are autotrophs that use photosynthesis.
what food source does fungi utilise and explain it
saphrotrophic nutrition—> where the fungi breaks down the food before digesting it.
what food source does animalia use
heterotroph
what food source does animalia use
heterotroph
heterotroph definiton?
organisms that rely on other organisms (autotrophs) for nutrition
what are plantae walls made out of?
cellulose
what are fungi walls made out of?
chitin
what are animalia walls made out of?
NO CELLS WALLS
which kingdoms store carbs as glycogen?
animalia, MAY STORE –> fungi (protoctista)
how does plantae store carbs?
starch and sucrose
structure of fungi?
mycelium hyphae, which contains many nuclei
special + key fact of animalia
they have a nervous system (ability 2 move)
what is special about prokaryotaes?
they do not have a nucleus but have circular DNA, some have additional circular DNA, called plasmids.
describe cell structure of prokaryotaes?
cell wall, cell memb, cytoplasm + plasmids (circular chrhomosome of dna)
what is prokaryotae also known as?
bacteria
what are viruses considered as?
parasitic
virus facts
microscopic, no cells, are parasitic, can only reproduce inside a host, infect all living organisms, wide variety of shapes + sizes, have a protein coat, contain one type of nucleic acid (RNA/DNA)
describe animalia
multicellular, not microscopic, heterotrophs, no cell walls, carbs–> glycogen, have a nervous system
describe plantae
multi, not micro, autotrophs, use photosyntheses, cell walls=cellulose, carbs–> starch + sucrose, chloroplasts
describe prokaryotae
uni, micro, some __> photosynthesis, most–> feed on dead organisms, has cell walls, x nucleus, circular DNA. Some have additional DNA, called plasmids.
describe fungi
uni + multi, micro + not micro, saprotrophic nutrition, cell walls–> chitin, structure–> mycelium hyphae. carbs–> (MAYBE) glycogen,
describe protoctista
microscopic single celled organisms
what are eukaryotic orgmaisms
plantae, animalia, fungi, protcostocs
what are prokaryotic organisms
prokaryotae
common feautures of eurkayoic organisms?
having a nucleus + other membrane bound orgamelles = mitochondria and cell memb etc..
common feautures of prokaryotic organisms?
no nucleus = bacteria
