Classification And The 6 Kingdoms Flashcards
What are the 3 domains, and which are prokaryotes and eukaryotes
1) Eubacteria —> prokaryotes
2) archaea —> prokaryotes
3) eukaryotes —> eukaryotes
What is a Prokaryotes
Is a type of cell, which has a simple structure— lacks organelles, no nucleus, and is smaller than
What is a eukaryote
It is a cell type with a complex structure— nucleus, organelles, larger
What are the 6 kingdoms
1) Archaeabacteria
2) Eubacteria
3) Fungi
4) Protista
5) Plantae
6) Animalia
What are the four main characteristics we look at with each kingdom
Cell type: eukaryotic or prokaryotic
Cell number: uni or multicellular
Feeding type: heterotroph or autotroph
Reproduction: sexual or asexual
What are the four main characteristics we look at with each kingdom
Cell type: eukaryotic or prokaryotic
Cell number: uni or multicellular
Feeding type: heterotroph (consumer) or autotroph (producer)
Reproduction: sexual or asexual
Types of asexual reproduction
Involves 1 parent, genetically identical offspring
- Binary Fission: Splits into two daughter cells.
- Fragmentation: Breaks fragments of itself off, which regrow into a new individual.
- Budding: Grows from a bud or outgrowth on the parent, then breaks off to grow independently.
Archaebacteria
Bacteria that lives in harsh conditions
Cell Type: Prokaryotic
Cell Number: Unicellular
Feeding Type: Mostly heterotrophic, some autotrophic
Reproduction: Asexual (binary fission)
Eubacteria
Bacteria that lives in normal conditions
Cell Type: Prokaryotic
Cell Number: Unicellular
Feeding Type: Mostly heterotrophic, some autotrophic
Reproduction: Asexual (binary fission)
Protista
Organism made of one eukaryotic cell
Cell Type: Eukaryotic
Cell Number: Unicellular (some multicellular)
Feeding Type: Autotrophic or heterotrophic
Reproduction: Sexual or asexual
Fungi
Mushrooms and mold
Cell Type: Eukaryotic
Cell Number: Multicellular (except yeasts, which are unicellular)
Feeding Type: Heterotrophic (absorptive)
Reproduction: Sexual or asexual
Plantae
All plants including trees, bushes, and flowers
Cell Type: Eukaryotic
Cell Number: Multicellular
Feeding Type: Autotrophic (photosynthesis)
Reproduction: Sexual or asexual
Animalia
All animals including insects
Cell Type: Eukaryotic
Cell Number: Multicellular
Feeding Type: Heterotrophic
Reproduction: Sexual
