the five kingdoms Flashcards
state the five kingdoms
animalia
plantae
fungi
protoctista
prokaryote
how are organisms classified into the five kingdoms?
observable features
what are the physical features of animalia?
multicellular
membrane bound organelles
no chloroplasts
move with aid of cilia, flagella or contractile proteins
what nutrition do animalia have?
heterotrophic
what are the physical features of plantae?
multicellular
membrane bound organelles
cellulose cell wall
contains chlorophyll
what nutrition do plantae have?
autotrophic
what are the physical features of fungi?
unicellular or multicellular
chitin cell wall
multinucleate cytoplasm
body/mycelium made of threads
what nutrition do fungi have?
saprophytic (absorb)
what are the physical features of protoctista?
mainly unicellular
membrane bound organelles
some have chloroplasts
what nutrition do protoctista have?
heterotrophic or autotrophic
what are the physical features of prokaryotae?
unicellular
no membrane bound organelles
naked DNA and loop of DNA in cytoplasm
peptidoglycan cell walls
smaller ribosomes
what nutrition do prokaryotae have?
absorbed through cell wall or produced internally by photosynthesis
what is the three domain system?
classification of organisms by rRNA sequence differences, cell membrane lipid structure and sensitivity to antibiotics
what are the three domains?
archaea, eukarya and bacteria
what are the features of eukarya?
80s ribosomes
RNA polymerase contains 12 proteins
