2.1: Classification Flashcards
What are Eubacteria?
These are the ‘true’ bacteria. (Prokaryotic).
What is the definition for Archaea?
Prokaryotic but are extremophiles.
What is the definition for Eukarya?
These are all the eukaryotic organisms.
What is an extremophile?
An organism that lives in extreme conditions e.g very high temperatures.
What is the cell wall of a prokaryote made of?
Peptidoglycan (murein).
What kind of cell type are prokaryotes?
Unicellular.
Are prokaryotes heterotrophic or autotrophic.
Could be either.
Do prokaryotes have 80S or 70S ribosomes?
70S.
Do prokaryotes have membrane bound organelles?
No.
Animalia are multicellular ___ organisms.
Eukaryotic.
Do cells in Animalia have cell walls?
No.
What kind of co-ordination do Animalia use?

Heterotrophic and have holozoic nutrition. They digest internally.
Plantae are..?
multicellular eukaryotic organisms.
What are cell walls made of in Plantae?
Cellulose.
What is the diet type of Plantae?
Autotrophic.
What does autotroph mean?
organic molecules are made (in the case of Plantae, via photosynthesis.)
Are fungi multicellular or unicellular?
Could be either.
Fungi are all..?
Eukaryotes.
What are cell walls made of in fungi?
Chitin.
What is the diet type of fungi?
Heterotrophic and feed saprophytically (digest externally.)
How do multicellular fungi grow?
In hyphae (long threads.)
How do fungi reproduce?
Via spores.
Are protoctista unicellular or multicellular?
Unicellular and eukaryotic.
What is the diet type of protoctista?
Heterotrophic, autotrophic or both.
What kind of grouping do protoctista have?
A very diverse one.
