Phylum Monera § Kingdom of monera is made up of simple single celled organisms. § Prokaryotic cells § Monerans’ have four Phyla

Phyla of Monera § Phylum: Schizophyta- The largest phylum of Monera. Contains organisms commonly known as bacteria § Phylum: Archaebateria- primitive organisms that live in harsh climates § Phylum: Cyanophyta: Organisms known as blue-green bacteria § Phylum: Prochlorophyta: Monera that live in marine environments

General Information § 5, 000 species of monerans have been identified § Bacteria surround us- they are necessary for life but also cause disease § Bacteria is used in many different ways by modern science

Uses of bacteria § Cause Decay- Useful in natural recycling § Used in food production- Change the original form of food into the product we eat § Medicine- Species of bacteria are used in the production of antibiotics § Feed for animals- Used in Aquaculture § Water Treatment- convert toxic substances in water into safe substances § Growing Crops- convert nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use

Kingdom Protista § § § Single celled organisms More complex than Monera More than 65, 000 organisms have been classified into the kingdom Protista § 9 Phyla in Kingdom Protista

Phyla of Protista § Sarcodina- Have cell membranes that are flexible. Includes Amebas § Ciliophora- These organisms have tiny hairs called cilia to move around. § Zoomastigina- Have a long whip like structure called a flagellum for locomotion. § Sporozoa- Have know means of locomotion they are carried in the bodies of host animals

Phyla of Protista § Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, Rhodophyta, Chrysophyta, Pyrrophyta - these are the five phyla of algae, algae are plant like organisms that can make there own food § Colonial algae are groups of algae cells that act as a unit and share functions needed for life

How Protists Effect Life § § Can cause disease Used to polish or grind stones Provide Food Add Oxygen to water and air
