Study Notes
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
- Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
- Archaea are extreme prokaryotes.
- Archaea are found in soil, wetlands, lakes, oceans, and ice.
- Bacteria are prokaryotic cells.
- Microbiota includes the community of microorganisms living in and on bodies.
- Endotoxins result in sickness in humans.
- Protists belong to domain Eukarya.
- Protists are eukaryotic cells.
Plants
- Bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms are four main groups of plants.
- Ferns are seedless vascular plants.
- Gymnosperms are seed plants whose seeds develop directly on the scales of cones.
- Angiosperms are flowering plants.
- Lycophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms have lignin and a vascular system.
Fungi
- Yeast, cheese, black mold, and thrush are examples of fungi.
- Hyphae are important for fungi.
- Roots are a food source.
- Phyla refer to classifications of animals.
Animals
