BACTERIA

23
Q

Domain Eukarya is Divided into Kingdoms

A

• Monera (do not possess any
membrane-bound organelles.…)
• Protista (protozoans, algae…)
• Fungi (mushrooms, yeasts …)
• Plantae (multicellular plants)
• Animalia (multicellular animals)

24
Q

• They are all unicellular. They sometimes form colonies.

A

MONERA KINGDOM

25
Q

• They can be unicellular, or multicellular with no tissues.

A

PROTOCTISTA KINGDOM

26
Q

• They are heterotrophic decomposers.

• They can be unicellular, or multicellular with no tissues.

A

FUNGI KINGDOM

27
Q

• They are autotrophic organisms.
• They are multicellular organisms with tissues. Some have
organs.
• Composed of organisms with eukaryotic cells.

A

PLANT KINGDOM

28
Q

• They are heterotrophic organisms.
• They are multicellular organisms with tissues.
• Composed of organisms with eukaryotic cells.

A

geographic regions
containing distinctive
plant communities.

A

Biomes

36
Q

Different Types of Biomes

A

DESERT
GRASSLAND
TEMPERATE GRASSLAND
FOREST
TROPICAL RAINFOREST
TROPICAL SEASONAL FOREST

37
Q

It is a very dry, often barren biome
characterized by temperature extremes and
by widely spaced plants with thick waxy
leaves and often protective spines.

A

DESERT

38
Q

are dominated by grasses, and a rich
away of deep-rooted beautifully
flowering non-grass species. They have a
few trees because of inadequate and
frequent grass fire that kills woody
seedlings.

A

GRASSLANDS

39
Q

This covers extensive areas in the
interior of continents where there
are enough moisture to support
forest or woodland.

A

TEMPERATE GRASSLAND

40
Q

are regions where trees grow as a
result of inadequate temperature.

A

FOREST
