Study Notes
Taxonomy
- Taxonomy is the branch of science concerned with classifying organisms.
- A taxonomic hierarchy classifies organisms, from the broadest (domain) to the most specific (species).
- Kingdom, genus, and species are key for organism understanding.
The Five Kingdoms
- The five kingdoms are: Animal, Plant, Fungus, Bacteria, and Protista.
- Each organism fits into one of these five kingdoms.
Key Features of the Five Kingdoms
- Animal: Multicellular, eukaryotic, no cell walls, heterotrophic.
- Plant: Multicellular, eukaryotic, cellulose cell walls, autotrophic.
- Fungus: Multicellular, eukaryotic, chitin, glucans, and glycoproteins cell walls, heterotrophic.
- Protista: Unicellular, eukaryotic, most lack cell walls (but some have them), autotrophic or heterotrophic.
- Bacteria: Unicellular, prokaryotic, peptidoglycan cell walls, autotrophic or heterotrophic.
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
- All cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA.
- Prokaryotes are simpler than eukaryotes.
- Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles (nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, vacuoles, lysosomes).
- Prokaryotes have circular DNA; eukaryotes have linear DNA.
