Which Kingdom(s): Multicellular and unicellular organisms

Fungi and protista

Name 3 examples of Eubacteria

E. coli, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus

Name 3 examples of Archaebacteria

Name 3 examples of Protista

Paramecium, kelp, amoeba

Name 3 examples of Fungi

Mushroom, yeast, shelf fungus

Name 3 examples of Plantae

Apple tree, Venus flytrap, Rose bush

Explain Binomial Nomenclature

It is a two-word naming system that classifies organisms into their Genus (capitalized first letter) and species (lowercase). Words must be italicized or underlined when writing. Ex. Homo sapien

compare/contrast: Archaea v Bacteria

Bacteria has cell wall with peptidoglycan, Archaea has cell walls without peptidoglycan.

Know cell structures for each kingdom

1. Eubacteria: Has cell walls with peptidoglycan

2. Archaebacteria: Has cell walls without peptidoglycan

3. Protista: Cell walls of cellulose in some; some have chloroplasts

4. Fungi: Cell walls of chitin

5. Plantae: cell walls of cellulose; chloroplasts

6. Animalia: no cell walls or chloroplasts

Know cell types of each kingdom (prokaryote vs eukaryote)

Prokaryotic: Eubacteria and Archaea

Eukaryotic: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

What did Linnaeus contribute to Taxonomy

Designed a system of classifying organisms based on physical and structural similarities & Binomial Nomenclature

What characteristics separate bacterial kingdoms 

Eubacteria has cell walls with peptidoglycan, Archaebacteria has cell walls without peptidoglycan

peptidoglycan

a substance forming the cell walls of eubacteria, consisting of glycosaminoglycan chains interlinked with short peptides

chitin

a fibrous substance consisting of polysaccharides and forming the major constituent of cell walls of fungi.

cellulose

a polysaccharide consisting of chains of glucose monomers that makes up cell walls of most plantae and protista
