Chapter 1 - Variety Of Living Organisms Flashcards
Animals
.Multicellular
.No cell wall
.have nervous co-ordination > move from one place to another
.store carbohydrates as glycogen
Fungi
.No photosynthesis
.single celled
.cell walls made of chitin
.feed by extra cellular secretion of digestive enzymes onto food > this is know as saprotophic nutrition
.store carbohydrates as glycogen
.example > Mucor
Bacteria
.single celled > microscopic
.contain cell wall , membrane , plasmids
.SOME bacteria carry out photosynthesis but most feed off other living or dead organisms
.example > lactobacillus
Protoctists
.single celled > microscopic
.some like animal cells
.some like plant cells
.Amoeba > features of animal cells
.chlorella > contain chloroplasts > features of pants cell
.Example > malaria
Viruses
.small particles > smaller than bacteria
.parasitic > reproduce only in living cells
.contain a protein coat
.examples > tobacco mosaic virus
Plants
.Multicellular
.contain chloroplasts > photosynthesis
.cellulose cell walls
.store carbohydrates as starch or sucrose
