Archaebacteria

Archaebacteria • Prokaryote (no nucleus) • One-celled (single-celled or unicellular) • Gets energy from sunlight (producer/autotroph) • Breaks down materials in dead or decaying organisms (decomposer/heterotroph) • Asexual reproduction by binary fission • Reproduces in a short amount of time • Found in extreme environments [very hot, very cold, very salty, etc. ] • Different chemical makeup than bacteria • Oldest known organisms on Earth; “archae” means ancient

Archaebacteria Structural organization: prokaryote unicellular How energy is obtained: autotroph (producers) heterotroph (consumers/decomposers) Examples: • Found in extreme environments [very hot, very cold, very salty, etc. ] • Oldest known organisms on Earth; “archae” means ancient

Eubacteria

Eubacteria • Prokaryote (no nucleus) • One-celled (single-celled; unicellular) • Gets energy from sunlight (producer/autotroph) • Breaks down materials in dead or decaying organisms (decomposer/heterotroph) • Asexual Reproduction by Binary Fission • Reproduces in a short amount of time • Can be helpful or harmful • Larger of 2 bacteria kingdoms; most common

Eubacteria Structural organization: Prokaryote Unicellular How energy is obtained: autotroph (producers) heterotroph (consumers/decomposers) Examples: • Can be helpful or harmful; found in/on human body, in soil and water • Larger of 2 bacteria kingdoms; most common

Protists

Protists • • • Eukaryote Most unicellular, some multicellular Make their own food (producer/autotroph) Eat other organisms (consumer/heterotroph) Break down or absorb materials from dead or decaying organisms (decomposer/heterotroph) • Mostly Asexual reproduction, but some sexual reproduction • Classified based on how they obtain their energy (plant-like, fungus-like, animal-like) • Most diverse kingdom (the “leftovers” or “junk drawer”)

Protists Structural organization: Eukaryote Most unicellular; some multicellular How energy is obtained: autotroph heterotroph Examples: • Classified based on how they obtain energy (plant-like, fungus-like, animal-like) • Most diverse kingdom (the “leftovers” or “junk drawer”)

Protists Euglena Ameoba Diatom Paramecium Algae

Fungi

Fungi • Eukaryote • Most multicellular, some unicellular • Breaks down or absorbs materials from dead or decaying organisms (decomposer/heterotroph) • Asexual or Sexual reproduction • Can be helpful or harmful • Examples: Mushrooms, Mold, Yeasts

Fungi Structural organization: Eukaryote Most multicellular; some unicellular How energy is obtained: heterotroph (decomposer) Examples: • Can be helpful or harmful • Examples: Mushrooms, Mold, Yeasts • Cell wall of chitin

Fungi

Plants • • Eukaryote Multicellular Producer/Autotroph (Photosynthesis) Asexual or Sexual reproduction Cell walls of cellulose; chloroplasts Usually green – contain chlorophyll 2 categories: vascular, non-vascular

Plants Structural organization: Eukaryote; multicellular How energy is obtained: autotroph (photosynthesis) Examples: • Contain chloroplasts/chlorophyll • Usually green • Examples: trees, ferns, flowers, mosses • Cell wall of cellulose

Plants

Animals • • • Eukaryote Multicellular Consumer/Heterotroph Sexual reproduction Most can move from place to place 2 categories: vertebrates/invertebrates

Animals Structural organization: Eukaryote; multicellular How energy is obtained: heterotroph (consumers) Examples: • Most can move from place to place • 2 categories: vertebrates/invertebrates • Most complex
