Study Notes
Eukaryotic Kingdoms
- Four main eukaryotic kingdoms: Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Protists.
Protists
- Protists are unicellular eukaryotes.
- They exhibit significant diversity among species.
- Can be heterotrophic (consuming other organisms) or autotrophic (producing their own food).
Fungi
- Fungi can be unicellular or multicellular eukaryotes.
- Their cell walls are primarily composed of chitin.
- All fungi are heterotrophs, absorbing nutrients through decomposition.
- Fungi grow by digesting food externally before consumption.
Animals
- Animals are exclusively multicellular eukaryotes.
- They lack a cell wall, allowing a range of complex structures and functions.
- Animals are heterotrophic, obtaining energy by consuming other organisms.
Plants
- Plants are also multicellular eukaryotes.
- Their cell walls are made from cellulose, providing structure and rigidity.
- Plants are autotrophs, capable of photosynthesis to create their own food using sunlight.
Nutritional Categories
- Heterotrophs: Organisms that obtain food by consuming others (animals and fungi).
- Autotrophs: Organisms that produce their own food (primarily plants).
Relationship Between Groups
- Animals and fungi share a close evolutionary relationship, indicating similarities in their biological processes and structures.
