April Monthly Exam

• FIVE KINGDOM CLASSIFICATION

  Kingdom Monera

  Kingdom Protista

  Kingdom Fungi

  Kingdom Plantae

  Kingdom Animalia
• Kingdom Monera - unicellular and prokaryotic
• Monerans are mainly bacteria.
• Autotrophic - can make their own food
• Heterotrophic - depending on other organisms for food
• Protista are mainly Protozoans
• 2 Major Groups?

  Eubacteria

  Archaebacteria
• Kingdom Protista are unicellular and eukaryotic.
• Kingdom Monera - example e.coli or bacteria
• Kingdom Protista - example diatoms and amoeba
• Chitin - a tough complex sugar
• Kingdom Fungi cell wall is made up of chitin.
• Mycelium - a bunch of fine thread structures
• Kingdom Fungi - example yeast, penicillium
• KIngdom Plantae - multicellular and eukaryotic organisms
• Kingdom Plantae cell wall is made up of cellulose
• Kingdom Plantae classified into 5 groups

  Thallophyta

  Bryophyta

  Pteridophyta

  Angiosperms

  Gymnosperms
• Thallus - undifferentiated body in thallophyta
• thallus - undifferentiated
• Phyta - plant
• In thallophyta, there is no embryo formation.
• Plants in thallophyta are mainly algae
• Algae - green thallophytes containing chlorophyll
• Algae are autotrophic because they can make their own food with the help of chlorophyll.
• Cell wall of algae is made up of cellulose.
• Algae - mainly aquatic
• Bryophytes are small multicellular plants.
• Bryophyta - hey are called the amphibians of plant kingdom.
• Rhizoids - thin root like structures
• Bryophyta includes Mosses and liverworts.
• Pteridophyta - They are basically land plants.
• Pteridophyta - includes Ferns.
• Gymnosperms - They are known as lower flowering plants
• Gymnosperms - The seeds are not enclosed in fruits.
• Gymnosperms - they are also callednaked-seeded plants.
• Gymnosperms -   Flowers are unisexual.
• Gymnosperms includes plants in which seeds are not enclosed in the fruit.
• Angiosperms - They are known as High flowering plants.
• Angiosperms - The seeds are enclosed in fruits. Hence they are also called closed-seeded plants.
• Seeds have structures which are called cotyledons. They store food for seed.
