5 kingdom system • Animal – heterotrophic, multicellular, nucleus • Plant- autotrophic, multicellular, nucleus • Fungi- heterotrophic, uni or multicellular, nucleus • Absorbs food • Protist- unicelluar, auto and heterotrophic, nucleus • Monera- unicellular, auto and heterotrophic, no nucleus
Bacteria Formerly of the Kingdom Monera Found throughout the ocean Prokaryotic Reproduces every 20 minutes (asexually) Single circular chromosome called a plasmid.
Bacteria Cocci- Round bacteria Bacilli-Rod/Brick Shape Spirilla- Spirals
Bacteria Nutrition • Decomposer • Break down dead and decaying material • Releases trapped nutrients into the water • Mostly found on the bottom
Bacteria Nutrition Chemosynthesis-Using sulfur compounds such as Hydrogen sulfide to make Energy Benthic region and hydrothermal vents
Bacteria Nutrition • Photosynthesis- Using light to make energy • Cyanobacteria • Harmful blooms of cyanobacteria produce anatoxin(FDF). Exposure can cause death.
