Study Notes
Cell Types Overview
- Eubacteria: Prokaryotic organisms with cell walls containing peptidoglycan, typically unicellular, capable of autotrophic or heterotrophic nutrition.
- Archaebacteria: Prokaryotic organisms living in harsh conditions, characterized by cell walls without peptidoglycan, also unicellular with autotrophic or heterotrophic capabilities.
- Protist: A diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, most are unicellular but some can be multicellular or colonial, nutritional modes include autotrophs and heterotrophs.
- Fungi: Eukaryotic organisms that primarily feed on dead or decaying organic matter, mostly multicellular with some unicellular, possessing cell walls made of chitin.
- Plantae: Multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are non-motile and primarily autotrophic, with cell walls containing cellulose and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
- Animalia: Multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic with neither cell walls nor chloroplasts, relying on other organisms for sustenance.
Key Characteristics
- Archaebacteria: Thrive in extreme environments.
- Protist: Often considered a catch-all kingdom due to its vast diversity.
- Fungi: Decomposers, breaking down dead matter for nutrients.
- Plantae: Stationary life forms due to being non-motile.
Cell Structures
- Eubacteria: Have a peptidoglycan cell wall.
- Archaebacteria: Lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls.
- Protist: Variable structures; some have cellulose in cell walls and chloroplasts.
- Fungi: Contains chitin in their cell walls.
- Plantae: Features cellulose-based cell walls and chloroplasts.
- Animalia: Lack cell walls and chloroplasts.
Cellular Organization
- Eubacteria & Archaebacteria: Unicellular organisms.
- Protist: Exhibits diverse cellular organization with unicellular, multicellular, and colonial forms.
- Fungi: Primarily multicellular; can also be unicellular.
- Plantae & Animalia: Both are primarily multicellular organisms.
Nutritional Modes
- Eubacteria & Archaebacteria: Capable of being either autotrophs or heterotrophs.
- Protist: Can adopt autotrophic or heterotrophic nutrition.
- Plantae: Exclusively autotrophic, performing photosynthesis.
- Animalia: Exclusively heterotrophic, obtaining nutrients from other organisms.
