Biological Classification Monera Flashcards
Father of biology & father of zoology
Used
Aristotle
Simple morphological character to classify plants into herbs,shrub , trees
Father of ancient plant taxonomy / father of botany
Plant classified
Theophrastus
Trees
Shrubs
Under shrubs
Herbs
Father of taxonomy
Classification ( kingdom)
On basis of
Carolus Linnaeus
Two kingdom classification
Plantae , animal
Cell wall only
In two kingdom classification prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Ore placed in same group Plantae
Pro= bacteria, bGA
Eukaryotes = fungi, mosses/bryophytes fern/pteridophytes Angiospermae
In two kingdom class. Unicellular & multicellular
Uni = chlomydomonas, chlorella
Multi = spirogyra
Under plantae
Two kingdom classi
Heterotrophic fungi
Autotrophic green plants
Cell wall
Paramecium ,algae
Chitin
Cellulose
Under animal as cell wall is absent
Royal botanical garden curator
Book
Gave
George Bentham / Joseph Dalton hooker
Genera platinum
Natural classification of spermatophytes
Davison - spermatophyta
No two kingdom classification
202 families
Class dicotyledonae 165 families
Class gymnospernae 3
Class Monocotyledonae 34
Merit of Bentham & Hooker classification
Based on floral character
Was natural formal
Based on actual observation
Demerits of Bentham & Hooker
Phylogeny is not considered
Phylogeny = gymnosperm - dicot-monocot
Five kingdom classification given by
Kingdoms
R.H Whittaker
Monera
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Five kingdom class-criteria
Cell structure [ complexity of Cell)
Thallus organi./ body organisation (complexity of organism)
Mode of nutrition
Reproduction
Phylogenetic relationship
Kingdoms
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
Nuclear membrane
Monera (absent)
Protista fungi Plantae Animalia (present)
Cell wall body organisation
Monera
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Non cellulosio[ polysaccharide + amino acid ] cellular
Present in some. Cellular
Present (chitin). Multicellular/loose tissue
Present cellulose tissue / organ
Absent tissue /organ / organ system
Mode of nutrition
Monera
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Autotrophic [chemosynthetic, photosynthetic], mostly heterotrophic [saprophyte s parasites]
Mostly Autotrophic ( photosynthetic) heterotrophic
Heterotrophic ( saprophytic / parasite )
Autotrophic ( photosynthetic )
Heterotrophic ( holozoic / saprophytic )
three-domain system
Given by
Also is , basis
Divided into
Carl Woese
Six kingdom classification
3 domains
Into ( basis of 16rRNa sequence )Bacteria = kingdom eubacteria
Archaea = kingdom archaebacteria
Eukarya = kingdom Protista, fungi , Plantae , Animalia
Cell wall prokaryotes made up of
Cell membrane
Periplasmic space
Peptidoglycan /murein composed of polysaccharide and amino acid
Lipopro of in
Space b/w cell wall and cell mem . Analogous to lysosome
Eubacteria character
Shape
Coccus
Bacillus
Spirillum
Vibrium
Rigid cell wall and if motile a flagellum
Spherical
Rod shaped
Spiral
Comma shaped
Basal body
Outer pair inner pair
Lies within cell wall and cell mem
Proteinaceous rod shaped
LP
SM gram + ve bacteria
Photosynthetic structure eg
Purple ( sulphur and non sulphur ) = bacteriochlorophyll a & b
Green sulphur bacteria = bacteriochlorophyll a bacterioviridin
Plasmid
Also known as
Ability
Eg
Small circular DNA outside the genomic DNA
Extra chromosomal extra nuclear extragenomic
Ability to replicate independently
Certain unique phenetypic characters eg antibiotic resistance
F plasmid
Episome
Rfactor
F+ act as donor . male
F- act as recipient female
F plasmid is attached to main DNA it is designed as episome and it is known as Hfr ( high frequency recombinant )
Resistance to certain antibiotics
Most extensive metabolic diversity
Vast majority
Bacteria
Heterotrophic
Photosynthetic autotrophic
H donor
Eg
Bacterial photosynthesis h donor is not water so they do not release o2 hence non oxygenic photosynthesis
Purple sulphur bacteria = chromatium
Green sulphur bacteria = chlorobium
Purple non sulphur bacteria = rhodospirillum
Chemosynthetic
Oxidise
Eg
Role
Various inorganic substance such as nitrates ammonia and use the released energy for this ATP production
Nitrifying bacteria
Nh3 to NO2 nitrosomonas / nitrococcus
NO2 to NO3 nitrobacter
In recycling nutrients like nitrogen phosphorus iron sulphur
Heterotrophic
Majority of heterotrophic bacteria
Useful
Harmful
Are important decomposes
In making curd from milk , production of antibiotics, fixing nitrogen in legumes
Some are pathogens to human being animals plants
Saprophytic bacteria
Eg
Parasitic bacteria
Obtain food from dead and decaying organic matter
Eg clostridium botulinum
Obtain food from living organisms
Eg mycobacterium tuberculosis ( t.b)
Symbiotic bacteria
Fn
Eg
Form symbiotic relation with other organisms
Convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and then into nitrogenous compounds like amino acid,NO3 or salts of ammonia
Rhizobium
