Study Notes

Protista

Kelp is a multicellular, marine organism that is photosynthetic and has motile sperm cells.
Paramecium is a fast-swimming, unicellular organism with cilia, found in pond water, and feeds on bacteria via endocytosis.
Slime Mold can be unicellular or multicellular; it forms a bright orange mass before reproducing and feeds on dead leaves by absorbing nutrients.
Algae is a thread-like, multicellular organism that resides in water, reproducing through sperm and causing a vibrant green coloration when populations surge.

Eubacteria

E. Coli is a single-celled, prokaryotic bacterium living in mammals' large intestines and reproduces rapidly through binary fission.
Pseudomonas is a single-celled organism lacking a nucleus, known for causing foul odors as it decomposes dead animal tissues.

Plantae

Apple Trees are multicellular autotrophs that produce flowers containing eggs and pollen, and secrete seeds within fruits.
The Venus Flytrap is a multicellular, photosynthetic plant that generates glucose from sunlight while obtaining nutrients from insects through specialized leaves.

Animalia

Cows are multicellular heterotrophs that consume grass and rely on sexual reproduction.
Hawks are fast-moving, predatory birds with excellent vision, primarily feeding on ducks, and possess complex organ systems.

Fungi

Mushrooms are large, multicellular organisms hidden beneath soil; they produce spores in fruiting bodies and decompose dead plant material as they grow.
Shelf Fungus lives inside trees, digesting wood and eventually killing the host tree; it exists as a whitish mycelium that begins from spores landing on tree wounds.
