Study Notes
Overview of the Six Kingdoms
- Six kingdoms categorize living organisms: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals.
Archaebacteria
- Prokaryotic organisms with no nucleus.
- Can be autotrophs or heterotrophs.
- Unicellular, often found in extreme environments like hot springs.
Eubacteria
- Also prokaryotic with no nucleus.
- Can be autotrophs or heterotrophs.
- Unicellular, includes common bacteria such as Escherichia coli.
Protists
- Eukaryotic organisms with a defined nucleus.
- Exhibit both autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition.
- Can be unicellular or multicellular; examples include algae and amoebas.
Fungi
- Eukaryotic, characterized by a defined nucleus.
- Strictly heterotrophic; they do not produce their own food.
- Can be unicellular (like yeast) or multicellular (including molds and mushrooms).
Plants
- Eukaryotic, possessing a nucleus.
- Autotrophic, utilizing photosynthesis to make their food.
- Multicellular organisms, including various species like roses and ferns.
Animals
- Eukaryotic, containing a nucleus.
- Heterotrophic; reliant on consuming other organisms for nourishment.
- Multicellular, comprising a wide range of species such as lions, tigers, and bears.
Unique Examples by Kingdom
- Archaebacteria thrive in extreme environments.
- Eubacteria includes significant examples like E.coli and Streptococcus.
- Protists encompass a diverse group, from single-celled organisms to complex algae.
- Fungi are vital decomposers in ecosystems, including yeast and mushrooms.
- Plants contribute to ecological balance through photosynthesis.
- Animals exhibit diverse behaviors and forms, ranging from simple organisms to complex mammals.
