1. Domains The 3 Domains are Archaea, Eubacteria and Eukaryota (Eukarya) Each Domain includes 1 or more Kingdoms Domains are bigger than Kingdoms Archaea = Archaebacteria Eubacteria = Eubacteria Eukaryota = Animals, Plants, Protist, Fungi

2. Prokaryotes Prokaryotes are organisms that do not have a nucleus in their cells We call these cells prokaryotes They tend to be smaller and are usually in unicellular organisms –Example: Bacteria

3. Eukaryotes Eukaryotes are organisms that do have a nucleus in their cells We call these cells Eukaryotes They tend to be larger and are usually in multicellular organisms. –Examples: Plants, Animals, Protists

4. Unicellular Organisms made of only one cell are unicellular The only cell of a unicellular organism helps it survive, get energy, reproduces and respond to its surroundings. Generally they are prokaryotic Some protists like amoeba, paramecium, and euglena Some fungi like mold and yeast Archeabacteria Eubacteria

5. Multicellular Organisms made of more than one cell are multicellular Multicellular organisms have specialized cells to do certain jobs. For example blood cells carry oxygen, immune cells fight disease Generally they are eukaryotic Plants Animals Some Fungi like mushrooms and fungus A few types of Protists like algae

6. Autotrophs Organisms that can make their own food are called autotrophs They use photosynthesis to make sugar using the molecule chlorophyll Examples: Plants, Some Protists (algae, euglena), Cyanobacteria (blue-green bacteria)

7. Heterotrophs Organisms that use other organisms as a food source are called heterotrophs Some obtain food by eating plants (herbivores) Some get their food by eating other animals (carnivores) Some eat plants and animals (omnivores) Examples: Animals, Some Protists (amoeba, paramecium), most Eubacteria

8. Plants Multicellular and Eukaryotic Use Photosynthesis (autotrophs = make their own food) Reproduce by seeds or spores. (sexual or asexual) Have rigid cell walls and chloroplasts

9. Invertebrates Animals that do not have a backbone are called invertebrates. They generally have simple or basic body systems. Insects have hard exoskeletons, but do not have bones. Examples: Lady bugs, spiders, lobsters, snails, sharks

10. Vertebrates Animals that do have a backbone are called vertebrates. The bones in the spine are called vertebrae. They also have other bones to aid in movement and to protect organs. They generally have complex body systems. Examples: Humans, cats, dogs, birds, deer, any animals with backbones

11. Animals Members of the animal kingdom are multicellular and eukaryotic They get energy by eating other organisms. They are heterotrophs. They are divided into 2 groups: Vertebrates and Invertebrates. Animal cells have a cell membrane, but not a cell wall Animals reproduce sexually. Carnivores eat animals Herbivores eat plants Omnivores eat animals and plants

12. Reproduction Reproduction is the process of making more of one organisms own kind. Reproduction is necessary for the survival of a species. There are two forms of reproduction: Asexual and Sexual.

13. Asexual It involves only one parent. Usually a cell splits to make two identical copies of itself. Common in one celled (unicellular) organisms

14. Sexual It involves two parents. One male and one female. Offspring get genetic information from both parents. Common in multicellular organisms.

15. Fungi Can be single celled or multi celled Fungi reproduce by spores through asexual reproduction. Get their energy by feeding on other organisms, alive or dead! They do not have chlorophyll, so they can not make their own food. Many fungi are decomposers Examples: Mold, Mushrooms, Yeast

16. Protists Can be singled celled or simple collections acting as a multi-celled organism called colonies Are eukaryotic (have a separate nucleus with a membrane) Some are autotrophs and some are heterotrophs Some reproduce asexually and some reproduce sexually Examples: Amoeba, paramecium, algae, euglena

17. Archaebacteria Archaebacteria are single celled They are prokaryotic They reproduce asexually They live in extreme environments, like hot springs, volcanic vents, very salty water, but can be found in other places also Some make their own food (autotrophs) and some feed on other organisms (heterotrophs)

19. Eubacteria Single celled and prokaryotic Some need oxygen to live. Some die from oxygen They reproduce asexually Most feed off of other organisms (heterotrophs) Live in soil, water and other living things Cyanobacteria use photosynthesis Most familiar bacteria are eubacteria

20. streptococcus (causes strep throat) E. coli on lettuce (helps digest food, can cause food poisoning) Lactobacillus bulgarus (1 type of bacteria in yogurt) Examples of Eubacteria
