Kingdoms Of Life Flashcards
What are the 5 kingdoms of life
Animals
Plants
Fungi
Proctocists
Bacteria
Which are eukaryotes
Animal
Plants
Fungi
Protoctists
Are made up of eukaryotic cells which have nucleuses they contain chromosome’s
Animals
There are 5-10 million different species
They are multicellular (which means they are made up of loads of cells)
Heterotrophs animals get their energy from other organisms
Sexually reproduce
Plants
300,000 species
They are multicellular
And they are autotrophs (they get their energy from the sun)
What does autotrophs mean
They get their energy from the sun
What does heterotrophs mean
They get their energy from other living organisms
Fungi
They can be multicellular or unicellular
Fungi can’t photosynthesis they are saprotrophs (which they secrete digestive enzymes onto some food outside of their body then wait for them to break down then absorb all nutrients)
Multicellular have mycelium which is hyphae together
Some fungi can be consider pathogens (which means they can cause diseases)
Protoctisist
They are unicellular (some have chloroplasts such as chlorella and euglena)
Some protocticists are pathogens like plasmodium which causes malaria
Bacteria
They are unicellular organisms which live everywhere
Some species can photosynthesis
Most feed off other organisms
(Bacteria examples salmonella)
Viruses
Super tiny particles (they don’t count as cells but there not counted as living)
They have a protein coat and DNA and RNA
They can only reproduce inside living cells
They are parasites (depend on organisms to grow and reproduce)
Example
Influenza virus
HIV
Covid-19
Is yeast unicellular or multicellular
Unicellular
Where do humans have bacteria
In there intestines which help break down food
