Study Notes
Fungi
- Characterized by cell walls made of chitin.
- Includes diverse organisms such as mushrooms, puffballs, molds, and mildews.
- All fungi are heterotrophs, and many play essential roles as decomposers.
Plantae
- Comprises various plant forms, including mosses, cone-bearing plants, and flowering plants.
- Features organisms with cell walls made of cellulose and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Eubacteria
- Known as "true bacteria," it encompasses various prokaryotic organisms.
- Includes notable types such as Streptococcus (strep) and Staphylococcus (staph).
Protista
- A diverse kingdom serving as a "catch-all" category for organisms with traits of both plants and animals.
- Contains unicellular and multicellular organisms, such as paramecium and amoeba.
Archaebacteria
- Comprises ancient and primitive prokaryotic organisms capable of thriving in extreme environments.
- Includes cells that can endure harsh conditions, distinguishing them from eubacteria.
Animalia
- Encompasses multicellular, heterotrophic organisms like worms, insects, and birds.
- Members lack cell walls and chloroplasts, exhibiting a variety of forms and functions.
Prokaryotic Organisms
- Both Archaebacteria and Eubacteria consist of prokaryotic cells, lacking a true nucleus.
Eukaryotic Organisms
- Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, and Protista consist of eukaryotic cells, characterized by a defined nucleus and organelles.
