Kingdom Classification Flashcards
List the Six Kingdoms of Life.
- Animals
- Fungi
- Protists
- Eubacteria
- Plants
- Archaebacteria
eukaryotic microorganisms, and they usually cause diseases and sicknesses to humans (ex. protozoa, algae)
Protists
multicellular organisms, usually classified between invertebrates and vertebrates
Animals
they have complex eukaryotic cells like animals, but they are not like animals (ex. mushroom, mold, yeast)
Fungi
are all prokaryotes, these cells have no nucleus and are also missing parts of the organelles, commonly found in other cells, they usually make food on their own, or they eat food from other organisms
Eubacteria
makes food through photosynthesis, and has 2 types (vascualar, and non-vascular)
Plants
What is the difference between Vascular plants and Non-Vascular?
Vascular plants have tube-like structures used to carry out water and nutrients, while non-vascular plants don’t have these tube-like structures and transport nutrients through other means.
numerous species of single-celled organisms that are not known to be harmful to humans, most of them live in the ocean.
Archaebacteria
These are pore-bearing animals, Porifera coming from the Latin word “porus” which means “pores” (ex. Sponges)
Phylum Porifera
These are soft-bodied stinging animals (ex. jellyfish)
Phylum Cnidaria
These are flatworms, these flat-bodied worms are small animals with digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems. (ex. tapeworm)
Phylum Platyhelminthes
These are parasitic roundworms, the unsegmented ones, and they are easily recognized by their body movement (ex. hookworm)
Phylum Nematodes
These are segmented roundworms, these are worms with segmented bodies that are much more complex than those of flatworms and roundworms, and they are more well-developed.
Phylum Annelida
These are soft-bodied animals, the soft body is often protected by an exoskeleton made of calcium carbonate (ex. Snail, Octopus)
Phylum Mollusca
These are animals with jointed legs, all members of this phylum have a segmented body enclosed in a tough exoskeleton that is jointed in the legs. (ex. Spiders, Crabs)
Phylum Arthropoda
