classification

bacteria - eubacteria

  • prokaryotic

  • unicellular

  • cell wall

  • ecologically diverse

  • autotroph/heterotroph

  • ex: streptococcus, E.coli, cyanobacteria


archaea - archaeabacteria

  • prokaryotic

  • unicellular

  • cell wall without peptidoglycan

  • autotroph/heterotroph

  • most live in very harsh environments

  • ex: methanogens, halophiles, thermoacidophiles


eukaryota - protista

  • eukaryotic

  • unicellular

  • autotroph/heterotroph

  • some have cell wall with cellulose

  • some have chloroplast

  • ex: amoeba, paramecium, slime mold


eukaryota - fungi

  • eukaryotic

  • multicellular

  • heterotroph

  • cell wall of chitin

  • reproduce by forming spores

  • no chlorophyl

  • ex: mushroom, yeast


eukaryota - plantae

  • eukaryotic

  • multicellular

  • autotroph

  • chloroplast

  • cell wall of cellulose


eukaryota - anamalia

  • eukaryotic

  • multicellular

  • heterotroph

  • no cell wall, no chloroplast
