Discover the diverse world of microorganisms, from unicellular to multicellular organisms. Learn about the kingdoms of Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Understand the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, and their roles in the ecosystem.
E N D
Vocabulary MULTICELLULAR UNICELLULAR Simple organisms made of just one cell – total. Complex organisms w/many cells
Vocabulary • Prokaryotic – describes an organism with cells that have a cell membrane but do NOT have a nucleus • Eukaryotic – describes an organism with cells that have a cell membrane and a nucleus
Vocabulary • Autotrophic – makes its own food • Heterotrophic – gets nutrients from the food it consumes
List of the Three Domains and the Six Kingdoms 1.Domain Bacteria • Kingdom Eubacteria 2. Domain Archaea • Kingdom Archaebacteria 3. Domain Eukarya • Kingdom Protista • Kingdom Fungi • Kingdom Plantae • Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria can live in many places on earth, inhabiting a wide variety of habitats, including other organisms • Unicellular (DNA in cytoplasm) • Prokaryotic • Autotrophic or heterotrophic • Asexual Reproduction
Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria come in different shapes, such as round, spiral and rod-shaped.
Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria can cause a wide variety of diseases, such as strep throat, food poisoning and the Black Death (bubonic plague of the Middle Ages)
Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria also play an important role in decomposition, nitrogen fixation and human digestion (Lactobacillus acidophilus) Soybean root containing billions of bacteria
Kingdom Eubacteria • Procholorococcus – an autotrophic bacterium – What does that mean about how it gets its nutrients?
Kingdom Eubacteria • Bacteria stained with orange dye for detail. The stain makes DNA appear yellow and RNA appear orange.
Kingdom Archaebacteria • Bacteria that live in extreme habitats, such as hot springs, geysers, volcanic hot pools, brine pools, black smokers • Unicellular • Prokaryotic • Autotrophic or heterotrophic • Asexual reproduction
Kingdom Archaebacteria Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park – note the bright colors from the archaebacteria growing in the extremely hot water (69.8 °C 157.6 °F)
Kingdom Archaebacteria • Some like it hot! Bacillus infernus
Kingdom Archaebacteria • Archaebacteria can live deep in the ocean near geothermal vents called black smokers • There is no light, so they carry out chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis
Kingdom Protista • Extremely diverse group • Eukaryotic • Most unicellular, some colonial, some multicellular • Autotrophic and heterotrophic and some mixotrophic • Asexual and sexual reproduction
Kingdom Protista Euglena - mixotrophic Volvox – a colonial protist A slime mold - heterotrophic Amoeba - heterotrophic
Kingdom Fungi • Eukaryotic • Most are multicellular, someunicellular • Heterotrophic (decomposers) • Sexual reproduction
Kingdom Fungi Stilton cheese Bread mold
Kingdom Plantae • Eukaryotic • Multicellular • Autotrophic • Some reproduce sexually, others asexually
Kingdom Animalia • Eukaryotic • Multicellular • Heterotrophic • Primarily sexual reproduction, but some asexual Human cheek cells Hydra
Kingdom Animalia Octopus Flatworm Sponge Coral snake Jellyfish Bear
