Basic Overview of the Domains & Kingdoms To be used with Chart notes
There are 3 domains… 1.) Bacteria 2.) Archaea 3.) Eukarya Prokaryotic Kingdom: Eubacteria 2.) Archaea Kingdom Archaebacteria 3.) Eukarya Kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
The 6 kingdoms 1.) Eubacteria Cell Type: prokaryotic Cell structures: Cell wall with peptidoglycan # of cells: 1 Mode of nutrition: some are autotrophs; some are heterotrophs Examples: E. coli, Staph. aureus,
The 6 kingdoms 2.) Archaebacteria Cell Type: prokaryotic Cell structures: Cell wall without peptidoglycan # of cells: 1 Mode of nutrition: some are autotrophs; some are heterotrophs. Examples: Thermophiles, Methanogens
The 6 kingdoms 3.) Protista Cell Type: eukaryotic Cell structures: Cell wall of cellulose in some; some have chloroplasts # of cells: most are unicellular; some are multicellular; some live in colonies Mode of nutrition: some are autotrophs; some are heterotrophs Examples: Amoeba, Paramecium, Slime molds, Giant kelp
The 6 kingdoms 4.) Fungi Cell Type: eukaryotic Cell structures: Cell wall made of chitin # of cells: most are multicellular; some are unicellular Mode of nutrition: heterotrophs Examples: Mushrooms and yeast
The 6 kingdoms 5.) Plantae Cell Type: eukaryotic Cell structures: Cell wall made of cellulose # of cells: all are multicellular; Mode of nutrition: autotrophs Examples: moss, ferns, flowering plants, trees
The 6 kingdoms 6.) Animalia Cell Type: eukaryotic Cell structures: No cell walls or chloroplasts # of cells: All are multicellular Mode of nutrition: All are heterotrophs Examples: Sponges, Worms, Insects, Fish, Reptiles, birds, & Mammals (including humans!!!)
