    Study Notes

    Kingdoms of Life

    • Plantae is a kingdom, including vascular and nonvascular plants
    • Animalia is a kingdom
    • Fungi is a kingdom
    • Protista is a kingdom
    • Eubacteria (True Bacteria) is a kingdom
    • Archaebacteria (Ancient Bacteria) is a kingdom

    Vascular and Nonvascular Plants

    • Nonvascular plants lack vascular bundles (xylem and phloem)
    • Small and prostrate to the ground
    • Vascular plants have true roots, stems, and leaves
    • Transport water and minerals throughout the plant

    Types of Plants

    • Thallophytes: Undifferentiated plant bodies (thallus); include bacteria, algae, fungi, and lichens
    • Bryophytes: Higher cryptogams with a thalloid or leafy plant body, rhizoids (root-like structures), simple conducting tissues. 
    • Pteridophytes: Highest group of cryptophytes, with differentiated plant bodies (roots, stems, and leaves) and well-developed conducting tissues. They reproduce and multiply via spores.
    • Gymnosperms: Naked-seeded plants with no fruit; unisexual flowers, simple construction, and primitive in nature
    • Angiosperms: Closed-seeded plants with more complex flowers. 
      • Dicotyledons: Embryos with two cotyledons, pentamerous flowers (5 petals), tap root system, and reticulate venation
      • Monocotyledons: Embryos with one cotyledon, trimerous flowers (3 petals), fibrous root system, and parallel venation

    Bacteria (Bacteriophyta)

    • Structure:
      • Small, single-celled organisms
      • Lack a nucleus and true plastids
      • Lack chlorophyll
      • Cell walls are made of proteins and carbohydrates
      • Cytoplasm, vacuoles (storage), and an incipient nucleus
    • Shapes:
      • Rod-shaped (bacilli)
      • Spherical (cocci)
      • Spiral (spirilla and vibrio)
    • Physiology:
      • Mostly heterotrophic (feed on dead matter or organisms)
      • Some are autotrophic (produce their own food)
    • Reproduction:
      • Binary fission
    • Classification:
      • Scientific nomenclature uses binomial system (genus and species).
      • Rules established by the International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology
    • Domain, Kingdom, Division, Class, Family, Genus, Species: Linnaean hierarchy used for classification (e.g., E. coli)
    • Disease-Producing Bacteria: Examples such as Bacillus typhosus, Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium tetani, Clostridium botulinum, Bacillus diphtheriae, and others
    • Beneficial Effects:
      • Decomposition of organic matter
      • Nitrogen fixation
      • Industrial uses (e.g., food production, fermentation)
      • Medical uses (e.g., antibiotic production)

    Algae (Phycophyta)

    • First true plants; nonvascular
    • Range from unicellular to multicellular forms
    • Thallus structure
    • Motile forms use flagella
    • Found in diverse environments (land, water)
    • Important components of aquatic food webs, especially as phytoplankton
    • Eutrophication: Excessive nutrient buildup in water bodies leading to algal blooms and harmful effects
    • Red Tide: Rapid increase in dinoflagellates, releasing toxins and impacting marine life
    • Algal Blooms: Temporary increases in phytoplankton populations; can change water color.

    Additional Information

    • Plankton: Includes microscopic organisms (algae, bacteria, protozoans, crustaceans) that drift in water.
    • Bioluminescence: Production and emission of light by living organisms; some algae exhibit this phenomenon.
