Study Notes
Plant Kingdom
- Two main groups of plants: gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- Gymnosperms have "naked seeds" borne on cones, not enclosed in an ovary.
- Angiosperms (anthophytes) produce flowers for reproduction.
- Angiosperms are divided into monocots (one seed leaf) and dicots (two seed leaves).
- Plants are further classified into vascular and nonvascular plants.
- Nonvascular plants (bryophytes): lack vascular tissues for transporting materials; thallus body; anchored by rhizoids; thrive in moist environments.
- Vascular plants: possess xylem and phloem for transport; more complex body structure. Subdivided into spore-forming and seed-forming plants.
- Spore-forming plants: include ferns, lycopods, psilotum, and equisetum; drought-resistant spores; anchored by rhizomes or prostrate structures; strobili (cone-like) spore-bearing structures.
- Seed-forming plants: gymnosperms and angiosperms; possess woody tissue, complex vascular systems, and seeds enclosing embryos.
Fungi Kingdom
- Mostly multicellular, eukaryotic, and immobile.
- Cell walls composed of chitin.
- Heterotrophic (parasitic or saprophytic).
- Diverse roles: symbiotic (decomposers), beneficial (e.g., antibiotics), and edible (e.g., mushrooms).
- Asexual reproduction via spore formation and budding.
- Differ from plants by lacking chlorophyll and having chitinous cell walls.
- Absorbent organisms.
- Reproduce through sexual and asexual spores.
Protists Kingdom
- Simplest eukaryotes.
- Three main groups: plant-like, animal-like, and fungus-like.
- Fungus-like protists share characteristics of fungi and protozoa; include cellular and plasmodial slime molds; saprotrophs found in decaying organic matter.
Animalia Kingdom
- Multicellular eukaryotes.
- Mostly actively mobile and heterotrophic.
- Distinguishing characteristic: symmetry (bilateral: body divisible into two mirror-image halves).
Animal Groups: Detailed Characteristics
- Birds: Anatomy adapted for flight; unique digestive system for eating on the fly and digesting later; evolved alongside dinosaurs during the Jurassic period (160 million years ago); Archaeopteryx is a well-known fossil. Warm-blooded vertebrates.
- Mammals: Highly adaptable; diverse locomotion (terrestrial, aquatic, even flying); four defining traits: hair, mammary glands, hinged jaw, three middle ear bones; most have specialized teeth and external ears. Warm-blooded vertebrates.
- Fish: Live in water; possess a backbone; developed special senses; highly diverse and evolutionarily old. Cold-blooded vertebrates.
- Reptiles: Air-breathing vertebrates; scaly or bony skin; regularly shed skin; metabolism and reproduction dependent on environmental temperature. Cold-blooded vertebrates.
- Amphibians: Small vertebrates requiring water or moist environments for survival. Cold-blooded vertebrates.
