Eukaryotic

sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction, or both? - Protist

both

unicellular, multicellular, or both - Protist

mostly unicellular - but can be multicellular like algae

Terrestrial, aquatic or both? Special habitats - Protist

most live in moist or aquatic habitats

provide at least 3 examples - Protist

amoeba, ciliates, alga, kelps, diatoms and slime molds

Eukaryotic or prokaryotic? - Archaebacteria

Live in extreme conditions and are prokaryotic

heterotrophic or autotrophic - Archaebacteria

both - also chemoautotrophic - use chemicals to convert to organic compounds for energy!

sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction, or both - Archaebacteria

asexually through binary fission

unicellular, multicellular, or both - Archaebacteria

all unicellular, living in a variety of environments and some cause disease

Terrestrial, aquatic, or both? special habitats? - Archaebacteria

live in extreme terrestrial and aquatic enviornments

Examples of Archaebacteria

Thermophiles, halophiles, methanogens

Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic? - Eubacteria

Prokaryotic

heterotrophic or autotrophic - Eubacteria

both- also chemoautotrophic - use chemicals to convert to organic compounds for energy!

sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction, or both - Eubacteria

asexually only through binary fission

Unicellular, multicellular or both? - Eubacteria

all unicellular

Provide at least 3 examples. - Eubacteria

E. coli, salmonella, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, streptococcus

Eukarya Domain contains which kingdoms?

Protista, Fungi, Plants, Animals
