Simple cell
Circular DNA
No nucleus
Cells don’t use meiosis or mitosis
Archaea and Bacteria

Linear DNA found in nucleus
membrane bound organelles
Cells divide by meiosis and mitosis
Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists
Types of Biodiversity
Species Diversity
Genetic Diversity
Ecosystem Diversity
Species Diversity
The variety and abundance of species in a given area
Genetic Diversity
The variety of inherited traits in a species
Ecosystem Diversity
The rich diversity of ecosystems found on earth
Characteristics of bacteria and archaea
Morphology
Nutrition
Habitats
Reproduction
Morphology
Different shape and structure
Shapes
Cocci
Bacili
Spirillium
Nutrition
Autotroph - can obtain energy by making its own food
Heterotrophs - must consume other organisms to obtain energy
Autorophs
Photoautrophs - convert solar energy into CO2 and water into sugar and produce O2 (Bacteria)
Chemoautrophs - Use inorganic chemicals to create their own energy(Archaea and Bacteria)
Methanogens
Type of chemoautotroph that creates methane as a byproduct(Archaea)
Heterotrophs
Photoheterotrophs - Use light for energy but use organic carbon as their carbon source (Archaea and Bacteria)
Chemoheterotrophs - Must consume organic compounds for growth (Archaea and Bacteria)
Habitats
Aerobic - environment with air
Anaerobic - environment without air
Extreme - environment characterized by extreme conditions
Moderate - non-extreme
Extremophiles
Helophile - salt loving
Thermophile - Heat loving
Acidophile - Acid loving
Reproduction
Archaea and bacteria reproduce asexually
Characteristics of Protists
Eukaryotes
Majority unicellular
Diverse
Classifications of Protists
Protza(Animal Like) - heterotrophs that ingest or absorb food
Slime Moulds and Water Moulds(Fungi Like) - absorptive heterotrophic protists
Algae(Plant Like) - Autotrophic protists that carry out photosynthesis
Protza
Cercozoa
Cilliophora
Zoomastigina
Sporozoa
Cercozoa
Most familiar = amoebas
Have cell membrane, but no cell wall
can create temporary extensions of cytoplasm (pseudopods)
Cilliophora
Most familiar = paramecium
Have many short hairs(cilia)
Cilia used for feeding and movement
Zoomastigina
They have more than one flagellum(long hair like structure) that propels them
