Kingdoms of Life (BACTERIA)

• VIRUS:

  (Influenza and HIV)

  • They infect ALL TYPES of Living Organisms
  • Viruses only reproduce inside living cells
  • They have a Protein Coat around some genetic material, either DNA or RNA

  A) Protein

  B) RNA

  
• BACTERIA:

  (Staphylococcus and Streptococcus)

  • Bacteria are single-celled and microscopic
  • They DON'T have a nucleus
  • They have a circular Chromosome of DNA
  • Most bacteria feed off other organisms, Living OR Dead

  A) Circular Chromosome

  B) Plasmids

  
• PROTOCTISTS:

  (Amoeba and Chlorella)

  • Most Protoctists are similar to Plant Cells
  • They are single-celled and microscopic

  A) Nucleus

  
• Examples of PATHOGENS which cause Disease:

  • Bacterium - Escherichia coli (E. coli), which causes Pneumonia
  • Virus - HIV, which causes AIDS
  • Protist - Plasmodium, which causes Malaria
• FUNGI:

  (Yeast and Mucor)

  • Fungi store Carbohydrates as GLYCOGEN
  • Their Cell Walls are made of Chitin
  • They get their Energy from SAPROTROPHIC Nutrition - They Secrete ENZYMES outside their body to dissolve their food, then they ABSORB the Nutrients

  ---> They have a Mycelium BODY, made up of HYPHAE (Thread like Structures)

  A) Multi

  B) Uni

  C) Photosynthesize

  D) Mycelium Body

  E) Athlete's Foot

  
• PROTOCTISTS:

  (Chlorella and Amoeba)

  • They are SINGLE CELLED and Microscopic
  • Some (like Chlorella) are similar to PLANT Cells and can PHOTOSYNTHESISE
  • Others (like Amoeba) are more like ANIMAL Cells, and Consume other Organisms to get their Energy

  A) Unicellular

  B) Photosynthesize

  C) Organisms

  D) Energy

  E) Malaria

  
• BACTERIA:

  (Pneumococcus and Streptococcus)

  • They DON'T have a NUCLEUS, so they are PROkaryotic
  • They have a circular Chromosome of DNA
  • Most Bacteria feed off other Organisms, Living OR Dead

  A) Photosynthesize

  B) Organisms

  C) Food Poisoning

  D) Digest

  
• VIRUSES:

  (Influenza and HIV)

  • Rather than Cells, Viruses are PARTICLES
  • They are examples of PARASITES, they depend on ANOTHER Organism to Grow and Reproduce

  ---> They DON'T have a Cellular Structure, they have a PROTEIN COAT around some GENETIC Material (Either DNA or RNA)

  A) Particles

  B) Living

  C) Coat

  D) Genetic

  E) Living Cells

  F) Parasites

  G) Tobacco

  
• Characteristics of Living Organisms:

  • M - Movement
  • R - Respiration
  • S - Sensitivity
  • G - Growth
  • R - Reproduction
  • E - Excretion
  • N - Nutrition

  A) -
