Study Notes
Kingdoms Overview
- Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are both classified as prokaryotes, meaning they lack a nucleus.
- Eubacteria includes common microorganisms such as E. coli and Streptococcus, while Archaebacteria can thrive in extreme environments like hot springs.
- The three remaining kingdoms (Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals) are eukaryotic, possessing a nucleus.
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
- Prokaryotes are defined as organisms without a nucleus.
- Eukaryotes have a distinct nucleus and organize their genetic material within it.
Nutritional Modes
- Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
- Heterotrophs depend on consuming other organisms for nutrition.
Unicellular vs Multicellular
- Unicellular organisms consist of a single cell, while multicellular organisms are composed of multiple cells.
- Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are unicellular, while Protists can be both unicellular and multicellular.
Kingdom Characteristics
- Archaebacteria: Prokaryotic, both autotroph and heterotroph, unicellular, and known for living in extreme conditions.
- Eubacteria: Prokaryotic, both autotroph and heterotroph, unicellular, and includes well-known species like E. coli.
- Protists: Eukaryotic, both autotroph and heterotroph, can be unicellular (e.g., amoeba) or multicellular (e.g., seaweed).
- Fungi: Eukaryotic, heterotrophic, can be unicellular (e.g., yeast) or multicellular (e.g., mushrooms).
- Plants: Eukaryotic, autotrophic, and exclusively multicellular; examples include roses and ferns.
- Animals: Eukaryotic, heterotrophic, and multicellular; includes a wide variety of organisms such as lions and bears.
Examples of Organisms by Kingdom
- Archaebacteria: Thrive in extreme environments like hot springs.
- Eubacteria: Includes organisms such as E. coli and Streptococcus.
- Protists: Comprises algae, amoeba, and seaweed.
- Fungi: Represents yeast, mold, and mushrooms.
- Plants: Features plants like rose bushes, redwoods, and ferns.
- Animals: Encompasses diverse species, such as lions, tigers, and bears.
