Study Notes
- There are Six Kingdoms of life
Bacteria
- Bacteria are all prokaryotes
- Bacteria are all unicellular
- Bacteria have cell walls with peptidoglycan
Plants
- Plants are eukaryotes
- Plants are multicellular
- Plants have cellulose cell walls
- There are no microbes in the plant kingdom
Animals
- Animals are eukaryotes
- Animals do not have cell walls
- Animals are mostly multicellular
- In the animal kingdom some members are microscopic
Fungi
- Fungi are eukaryotes
- Fungi have chitin cell walls
- Fungi include yeasts, molds, and mushrooms
- Some fungi are microbes
Protists
- Protists Are eukaryotes
- Algae and protozoa area the two main groups of protists
- Protists include both unicellular and multicellular forms
Archaea
- Archaea are similar to bacteria
- Archaea have a different cell wall composition than bacteria
- Archaea are found in extreme environments
