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. 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)

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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.

9. Asexual Asexual reproduction occurs without a sperm and egg.
It involves only one parent.
Usually a cell splits to make two identical copies of itself.
Common in one celled (unicellular) organisms

10. Sexual Sexual reproduction occurs when a sperm and egg unite.
It involves two parents. One male and one female.
Offspring get genetic information from both parents.
Common in multicellular organisms.

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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)

14. Examples http:youtu.be/N-EYTtxsL8g//
Drawing of bacteria mats on sides of an underwater volcanic vent feeding on the methane gas
Near the edges of a geyser pool with bright colors

15. 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

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