These are archaeans that live in swamps in the soil and near the underwater volcanic vents that use energy from chemical substances like methane, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide in making food.
Halophiles
capable of living in extremely salty environments
Acidophiles
capable of living in an extremely acidic environment
Thermophiles
capable of living in environments with extreme temperature
heterothrops
Are eubacteria autotrophs or heterotrophs?
sapothrops
These are the eubacteria that obtain their nutrients from decaying organic matter.
peptidoglycan
a complex of polysaccharide and protein (main component of a bacterial cell wall)
A capsule composed of polysaccharide, lipid and protein surrounds the cell wall and is firmly attached to it.
Protist
single-cell or multicellular
vary in how they obtain energy - autotrophic or heterotrophic (ingestive or absorptive)
immobile or have diverse locomotor structures
Protozoa (___-like)
animal-like
autotrophic
Others assume an (autotrophic, heterotrophic) form of nutrition in the presence of light.
heterotrophic
its absence assume (autotropic, heterotrophic) form of nutrition through absorption of nutrients from the environment.
aquatic
What habitat are most protozoans found?
Algae are classified into seven phyla or divisions.
The body of multicellular alga is called a thallus since its body parts are not differentiated into true roots, stems, and leaves.
Fungus-like Protist
This group of protist possess both the combined characteristics of fungi and protozoans.
There are two distinct groups of fungus-like protists:
