Study Notes
Kingdoms
- Science classifies living things based on their ancestry over the course of evolution.
- Animal Kingdom (Animalia):
- Most evolved kingdom
- Divided into vertebrates and invertebrates
- Multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes
- Examples: fish, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects
- Plant Kingdom (Plantae):
- Immobile, multicellular eukaryotes
- Autotrophic, meaning they make their own food
- Cells contain cellulose and chlorophyll
- Essential for life on Earth because they release oxygen
- Examples: trees, herbs, ferns
- Fungi Kingdom:
- Eukaryotic organisms
- Includes microorganisms like yeast, molds, and mushrooms
- Vital role in the biosphere
- Important economically due to both benefits and harmful effects
- Classified based on their nutritional mode:
- Saprophytic: obtain nutrition from dead organic matter
- Parasitic: obtain nutrition from living or dead hosts
- Symbiotic: obtain nutrition from growing on other living organisms, benefiting both organisms
- Examples: penicillin, rhizopus, mucor, lichens, mycorrhiza
- Protista Kingdom:
- Group of mostly single-celled organisms
- Don't fit into other kingdoms (plants, animals, fungi)
- Some can produce their own food like plants (e.g., algae)
- Some eat other things like animals do (e.g., amoebas)
- Live in water or moist environments
- Examples:
- Diatoms: single-celled algae with unique silica cell walls
- Paramecium: single-celled organism with cilia for movement and feeding
- Dinoflagellates: single-celled organisms with two flagella, can produce toxins
- Macroalga: large, multicellular algae, also known as seaweed
- Eubacteria Kingdom:
- Single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus
- Simple cell structure
- Found in various environments including soil, water, and inside living things
- Some are helpful, while others cause diseases
- Archaebacteria Kingdom:
- Ancient organisms
- Belong to the Monera kingdom
- Resemble bacteria microscopically, but are distinct
- Can survive harsh conditions like the bottom of the sea and volcanic vents (extremophiles)
Photosynthesis
- Process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
- Occurs in the chloroplasts
- Chlorophyll absorbs light energy.
- CO2 and O2 enter through stomata in leaves.
- Photosynthesis also occurs in other organisms besides plants, such as some prokaryotes, including cyanobacteria, purple bacteria, and green sulfur bacteria.
Light Reaction
- First stage of photosynthesis where plants use sunlight to create energy-rich molecules.
- Sunlight is captured by chlorophyll and used to produce ATP and NADPH.
- ATP and NADPH store energy and are used in the second stage of photosynthesis.
Dark Reaction
- Also known as the Calvin cycle
- The second stage of photosynthesis
- Plants use energy from the light reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
- Occurs in chloroplasts and doesn't require light.
