Study Notes
- There are six kingdoms of life: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria.
- Eubacteria and Archaebacteria were once classified as a single kingdom called Monera.
Animalia
- Contains all animals (multicellular).
- Composed of Eukaryotic Cells.
- Animals are heterotrophs, obtaining energy from outside sources as consumers.
Plantae
- Consist of multicellular organisms capable of photosynthesis (producers).
- Cells that compose plants are eukaryotic.
- "The Angel Oak" is the oldest oak tree in the southeastern United States.
Fungi
- Can be unicellular (one cell) or multicellular (made of many cells).
- Fungi are decomposers, acquiring food by breaking down dead organisms.
- Cells that make up Fungi are Eukaryotic.
Protista
- Organisms that do not classify as plants, animals, or fungi.
- Cells are eukaryotic.
- Can be unicellular or multicellular.
- Some are consumers (acquiring food by consuming other organisms) while others are producers (photosynthesis).
Eubacteria
- Cells are prokaryotic (without a nucleus).
- These are unicellular organisms.
- Can function as both producers and consumers.
- The most common bacteria found on Earth can be beneficial or harmful to humans.
Archaebacteria
- Cells are prokaryotic (without a nucleus).
- Consist of single-celled organisms (unicellular).
- Known as "ancient bacteria" and found in extreme environments (extremophiles).
- Three different types: Heat lovers, salt lovers, and methane gas makers.
