Variety of living organisms Flashcards
What are the 5 kingdoms?
Animals
Plants
Fungi
Protoctists
Bacteria
The Animal Kingdom
They are:
Eukaryotic Organisms
Multicellular
Heterotrophic
Complex Movement
Nervous Coordination
Glycogen Store
Eukaryotic Organisms
Have a nucleus
Multicellular
Have many cells
Heterotrophic
Eat other organisms
Complex Movement
Ability to move from one place to another
Nervous Coordination
No cell wall
Glycogen Store
Store carbohydrate as glycogen
The Plant Kingdom
They are:
Eukaryotic Organisms
Multicellular
Chlorplasts
Photosynthesis
Cell Wall
Store Sugar
Chlorplasts
Container for chorophyll
Photosynthesis
Making food from the sun
Cell Wall
Made of cellulose
Store Sugar
Store sugar as starch or sucrose
The Fungi Kingdom
They are:
Eukaryotic Organisms
Multicellular or Single Celled
Cell Wall
Mycelium of Hyphae
Saprophytic Nutrition
Glycogen Store
Cell Wall
Made of chitin
Mycelium of Hyphae
Have many nuclei
Saprophytic Nutrition
Using extracellular enzymes and release it on dead organisms, then extract the nutrients needed
The Protoctist Kingdom
They are:
Eukaryotic Organisms
Mostly Singled Celled
Some are Animal Like
Some are Plant Like
The Bacteria Kingdom
They are:
Prokaryotic Organisms
Single Celled
Cell Wall
Some have a Capsule or Slime Layer
Some have Flagella
Some have Plasmids
Main DNA
Some can do Photosynthesis
Some are Rod shaped
Some are Spherical shaped
Prokaryotic Organisms
Have no nucleus
Single Celled
Made of one cell
Cell Wall
Made of peptidoglycan
Some have Flagella
Little tails that help them move
Some have Plasmids
Single loops of DNA separate from the main DNA
Main DNA
One circular chromosome
What is a pathogen?
An organism that causes a disease.
Virus
They are:
Not living organisms
Do not have cells
Very small
Parasites
Pathogen
Infect all organisms
Not living organisms
Do not follow the characteristics of living organisms
Do not have cells
Made of genetic material, RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat
Very small
Smaller than bacteria
Parasites
Can only live and reproduce in a host
Pathogen
All natural viruses cause disease
Infect all organisms
Animals, plants, fungi, protoctists, and bacteria
