Actinopterygii
contains many different types of eukaryotic life , but all are single celled organisms
Protista
the body of a multicellular fungus
mycelium
the feathery filaments that make up multicellular fungi
*mycelial strands
Hyphae
ALL plants alternate between 2
growth forms, one haploid and the other diploid
Alternation of generations
Mosses
* No vascular
system or roots
* Require moist
habitats
Bryophyta
- Ferns
- No vascular system,
but has roots
Pteridophyta
Conifers, they have cones
Vascular system
* Cones with seeds
Coniferophyta
– Flowering plants
* Produce a seed with a protective coat
Complex
vascular system
Magnoliophyta
sponges
Porifera
are are filter feeders that
feed on bacteria, amoebas, and
other organisms they acquire
from their environment
sponges
– round worms
* Simple, very few organs
* Many are parasitic
* Can be microscopic or huge (up to 8.4 meters long)
Nematoda
– arthropods
Exoskeleton made of chitin
* Crabs
* Shrimp/prawn
* Insects
* Spiders
- Arthropoda
mussels, clams, snails
Mollusca
is one of the most diverse phylum of animals and includes shellfish, snails,
slugs, squid, and octopi.
Mollusca
Parasitic sea slug
* Lives in the open
ocean
Phylliroe
Starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars,
sea cucumbers
Echinodermata
segmented worms i.e. earthworms
Annelida
Flatworms
Platyhelminthes
– Jellyfish, anemones,
hydra
Cnidaria
the body of an organism can be divided into several identical parts around the central axis.
Radical Symmetry
are a specialized cell in the tentacles of a jellyfish or other cnidarians, containing a barbed or venomous coiled thread that can be projected in self-defense or to capture prey
Nematocyst
Vertebrates, but some others
- Chordata
is a collection of large cells that form a strong, flexible bar, which runs the length of the animal and provides support for the body
notochord
– tardigrades aka
water bears
Tardigrada
– spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, and harvestmen
Chelicerata
- Millipedes- 4 legs per segment, centipedes 2 legs per
segment
Myriapoda

-One of the first people to
push for crop rotation in
agriculture
-Was able to distinguish
different species of
fungus that no one else
has ever been able to
distinguish
George Carver

together.
Prokaryotes
zombie fungus
-the composite of a genus of fungus that grows on the larva of insects.
Cordyceps
or eukaryotes,
includes protists (such as
amoeba), plants, animals, and
fungi.
Eukarya
