3 Domains
Bacteria, Archae, Eukarya
Taxa ( King Phillip Came Over From Spain)
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Domain Bacteria

Genetic Engineering
Viruses
Domain Archaea
Single celled prokaryotes (no internal Membrane)
Extromophiles: Methanogens (Methane)
Halogens (Salt loving)
Thermophiles (high temp)
Domain Eukarya
Eukaryotes - Cells with internal membranes
Includes - protista, fungi, plantae, animalia
Some = photosynthetic
Three Domain System of Classification
Based on DNA analysis
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya
Domain Classification - Membrane Enclosed Organelles
Eukaryotes
Domain Classification - Peptidoglycan in cell walls
Bacteria
Domain Classification - Introns
Archaea - Eukaryotes
Introns = noncoding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are spliced out before the RNA molecule is translated into a protein
Protista
Domain Eukarya
Cell walls have nuclei
Widest variety of organisms (many cant be classified elsewhere)
single-celled and primitive multicelled orgs
Both - Heterotroph autotroph
Examples - ameoba, Paramecium, Euglena
Fungi
Eukarya
Heterotrophic
Extracellular digestion (have hydrolytic enzymes)
Absorb nutrients through diffusion
Decomposers
Cell walls are made from chitin not cellulose
Examples - yeast, mold, mushrooms
Plants
Eukarya
Autotrophic
Two Types: Tracheophytes , Bryophyes
Tracheophytes
Have vascular tissue
Bryophytes
No vascular tissue
