Study Notes

Classification of Living Organisms

Plants belong to the domain Eukarya and the kingdom Plantae.
Fungi are classified under the domain Eukarya and the kingdom Fungi.
Bacteria are found in either the Eubacteria or Archaebacteria kingdoms.
Viruses are not classified within the traditional kingdoms as they are acellular and require host cells to reproduce.

Characteristics of Plants

Plants are multicellular eukaryotes with cellulose-based cell walls.
They are autotrophic and primarily photosynthetic, converting sunlight into energy.
Key plant structures include roots, stems, and leaves.
Reproduction in plants occurs through "alteration of generations," involving both asexual and sexual reproduction.

Plant Reproductive Structures

Male gametophytes develop into pollen grains.
Female gametophytes produce seeds.
Examples of plants in the kingdom Plantae include trees, grasses, ferns, mosses, flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Characteristics of Fungi

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms with cell walls made of chitin.
They are typically multicellular heterotrophs, obtaining nutrients via absorption from hosts, mutualistic relationships, or decomposing dead material.
Fungi consist of hyphae, filamentous structures that contribute to their growth.
Mushrooms are specialized reproductive structures known as fruiting bodies.

Fungal Reproduction

Fungi reproduce both asexually (e.g., budding and fragmentation) and sexually, often through spore production.
Examples of fungi include earthstar fungi, jelly fungi, mildew, and yeast.
Beneficial fungi are used in food production, agriculture, and medicine (e.g., antibiotics), while harmful fungi can cause diseases and spoilage.

Characteristics of Bacteria

Bacteria are prokaryotic, unicellular organisms that can be classified by shape into rods, spheres, or spirals.
They reproduce quickly and asexually through a process known as binary fission.
Helpful bacteria play crucial roles as decomposers in ecosystems, aiding nutrient cycling.

Viruses and Their Characteristics

Viruses consist of either DNA or RNA enclosed in a protein coat and reproduce by infecting host cells.
An example of a virus includes the mumps virus.

Taxonomy and Classification

Taxonomy is the science of classifying and naming organisms to group them based on similarities.
Carl Linnaeus is recognized for developing the system of naming organisms.
The three domains of life are Archaea, Eubacteria, and Eukarya.
The kingdoms include bacteria, protists, fungi, animals, and plants.
The levels of classification from broad to specific are: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Characteristics of Animals

Animals belong to the domain Eukarya and the kingdom Animalia.
All animals are heterotrophic, multicellular eukaryotes.
They perform seven essential functions: feeding, respiration, circulation, excretion, response, movement, and reproduction.
Animals exhibit three types of body symmetry: asymmetry, radial symmetry, and bilateral symmetry.
Complex animals can show cephalization (development of a head) and segmentation (division of the body into parts).

Invertebrates

Invertebrates are animals without a backbone, constituting approximately 95% of the animal kingdom.
Phylum Porifera includes sponges, characterized by numerous pores and lack of a true mouth or gut.
Phylum Cnidaria comprises simple, soft-bodied, carnivorous organisms often equipped with stinging cells.
