Semi: M1 Flashcards
The 5 kingdoms
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Monera
2 Autotrophic
- Photoautotrophic
- plotoyntters
(snight, uter, Coa
div - Chemoautotrophic
- Chemicals
- Bacterias live in an extreme / hot environment )
1967,_____ introduced the five-kingdom classification system.
Robert Whittaker
In 1937, _____ suggested the terms of, “Procariotique” to describe bacteria and
“Eucariotique” to describe animal and plant cells.
E-chatton
Kingdom Monera
• Unicellular, Prokaryotic organisms
• Bacteria - Sole members of this kingdom
• Live in diverse habitats, most abundant
• Grouped under 4 categories:
Cocci, Bacilli, Spirilla, Vibrio
• Metabolic diversity of Bacteria:
- Autotrophic
> Photoautotrophic
> Chemoautolrophic
- Heterotrophic
• Subgroups: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria
Heterotrophic
- Herbivore- only eat plants
- Carnivore - Feed only by meats
- Omnivore- feed by both plants and meats.
- Saprophytes- feed on decaying mater.
decomposers,
_____or murein is a unique large macromolecule, a polysaccharide, consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like peptidoglycan layer (sacculus) that surrounds the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
Peptidoglycan
Characteristics of Monerans
It includes prokaryotic organisms
• Monerans are unicellular
• Most are heterotrophic but some perform photosynthesis
two different kinds of
organisms i.e.bacteria and cyanobacteria.
two different kinds of
organisms i.e.
bacteria and cyanobacteria.
There are two subkingdoms of Kingdom
Monera:
• Archaebacteria-can live in the most extreme of environments.
Eubacteria-Is also called the true bacteria
Brief comparison of Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
-Cell wall has no peptidoglycan
-has a unique DNA
Both
-Prokaryotic
-Unicellular
-autotrophic and heterotrophic
Eubacteria
-cell wall has peptidoglycan
-heterotrophic photosynthetic (cyanobacteria)
-heterotrophic chemosynthetic (nitrogen-fixing bacteria)
Characteristics of Protista
• It includes eukaryotic unicellular and simple multicellular organisms
• There are three main types of protists.
1) Algae
2) Protozoans
3) Fungi like protists
- Autotrophic
• Auto- means “self”
• Troph - means “nutrition”
These organisms make their own food
Have the green pigment chlorophyll
- Heterotrophic
• Hetero- means “different”
• These organisms eat other organisms for energy
Characteristics of Kingdom Animalia
• It includes eukaryotic multicellular consumers.
• Animals live mostly by ingesting food and digesting it within specialized cavities.
• They lackcell wall and show movements.
