class
order
family
genus
species
what are the 3 domains
archaea
bacteria
eukarya
what are the 5 kingdoms
protoctista
prokaryota
plantae
animalia
fungi
what are the characteristics of plantae
multicellular
contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
chlorophyll
autotrophic
stores sugar as starch
most do not move but some gametes will have cillia/flagella
what are the characteristics of animalia
heterotrophic
sugar stored as glycogen
multicellular
contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
no chloroplasts
move
what are the characteristics of prokaryotae
unicellular
no nucleus or other membrane bound organelles (ring of naked DNA)
no visible feeding mechanism - nutrients are absorbed
what are the characteristics of protoctista
mainly unicellular
contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
some have chloroplasts
some are sessile but others can move
can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic or both
what are the characteristics of fungi
unicellular or multicellular
contains a nucleus and other membrane organelles
chitin cell wall
no chloroplasts/chlorophyll
no mechanisms for movement
spread by spores
most have a body of mycelium made of threads of hyphae
nutrients are acquired by the absorption of decaying material (saprophytic feeders)
most store food as glycogen
who is carl wosse
discovered archaea bacteria
how does archaea bacteria differentiate
more complicated RNA polymerase - histones which will change protein synthesis
no peptidoglycan walls
