Variety of living organisms Flashcards
What are the five kingdoms of life
Animals, plants, fungi, protoctists, prokaryotes
What are the eukaryotic organisms
Plants, animals, fungi, protoctists
Eukaryotic
Multicellular organisms
Animals and plants are
All multicellular
Fungi is
Mainly multicellular
Protoctists are
Mainly unicellular
Animal cells have
Cell membrane, ribosomes, mitochondria, cytoplasm, nucleus
Plant cells have
Cell membrane, ribosomes, cellulose cell wall, mitochondria, cytoplasm, permanent vacuole, chloroplast, nucleus.
Fungi cells have.
Cell membrane, vacuole, cytoplasm, nucleus, food storage granule.
Protoctists cell have
Flagella, eyespot to detect light, mitochondria, cell wall, cell surface membrane, small storage vacuoles (for food), nucleus, chloroplast.
Plant can carry out
Photosynthesis from chloroplast
Examples of plants
Flowering plants, such as cereal
Plants store
Carbohydrates as starch or sucrose
Animals can not carry out
Photosynthesis as they do not contain chloroplast
Animals usually have
Nervous co-ordination and are able to move from place to place.
Animals store
Carbohydrates as glycogen
What Is nervous coordination
The ability to respond rapidly to changes in the environment.
Examples of animals
Mammals, insects
Fungi cannot carry out
Photosynthesis
Fungi body is organised into
Mycelium made from thread like structures called hyphae witch contain many nuclei
Singled cell fungi has walls made of
Chitin
Singled cell fungi feed of
Extracellular secretion of digestive enzymes onto food material and absorption of organic products. Know as saprophytic nutrition
Fungi may store
Carbohydrates as glucose
Fungi examples
Nucor (has a typical fungal hyphae structure) and yeast (single called)
