Study Notes
Eukarya Characteristics
- Eukarya does not contain peptidoglycan, differentiating it from prokaryotic organisms.
- Eukaryotic cells possess a defined nucleus and specialized organelles, allowing for complex cellular functions.
Animalia Characteristics
- Members of the Animalia kingdom are multicellular organisms.
- All Animalia species are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms.
Plantae Characteristics
- Plantae are multicellular organisms primarily classified as autotrophs, capable of photosynthesis.
- They possess cell walls made of cellulose, providing structural support.
Fungi Characteristics
- Fungi are generally multicellular and classified as heterotrophs, absorbing nutrients from their surroundings.
- Their cell walls are made of chitin, which differs from the composition found in plants.
Protista Characteristics
- Protista includes both multicellular and unicellular organisms, showcasing diversity within the group.
- Nutritional modes vary among protists, with some acting as heterotrophs and others as autotrophs.
