-
Animalia
- Eukaryotes
- multicellular
- heterotrophs
- locomotion
- store excess food reserves as fat/glycogen
- sexual reproduction
- classification based on number of embryonic cells
- layers present, type of body cavity, segmentation of skeletal formation
-
Fungi
- enclosed by cell wall made from Chitin
- Eukaryotic
- Heterotrophic
- body composed of fine filaments called hyphae
- decomposers, parasites or associated with plants
- reproduction through spores
-
Monera
- All Bacteria and Cyanobacteria
- Prokaryotes
- no membrane bound organelles
- 0.5 - 10 micrometers in diameter
- enclosed by wall of glycoprotein murein
- no specialization
-
Plantae
- autotrophic - photosynthetic
- special adaptations for surviving on land
- 2 distinct groups:
- bryophytes - no vascular system to transport water
- vasuclar plants - system of vassels and tubes
- cell wall of cellulose
- developments of true stems, roots, leaves
- special opening in leaves (stomata) that allow gas exchange
- contain chloroohyl and chloroplasts
- large vacuoles
-
Protista
- ALL eukaryotic organisms which are not fungi, plants or animals
- most are unicellular
- plentiful in moist terrestrial environments
- some photosynthetic, some heterotrophs that absorb organic molecules, come combine both
- respire aerobically
- Do not share characteristics, grouped for convenience
