3 Domains of Life

Eukarya

r

Eukaryotes and have membrane-bound organelles with complex structures.

Archaea

r

Prokaryotes: Oldest domain, an ancient type of bacteria.No nucleus-not complex-similar to eukarya

Bacteria

r

Prokaryotes: Any and all bacteria that are not Archaea BacteriaSingle celled-No nucleus-asexual reproduction

Eubacteria

r

Prokaryotes: Simple organisms with no nucleus. No membrane-bound organelles.Morphology: Coccus: (Round) ~StaphylococcusBacillus: (Rod) ~ Hay BacillusSpirillum: (Spiral) ~Campylobacter jejuni

Archaebacteria

r

Archaea with the ability to survive some of the most extreme environments in the world (Extreme cold, hot, dry, acidic). Prokaryotic.Crenarchaeota

Protista

r

Heterotrophic or autotrophicMostly unicellular.All are aquatic.Motile by flagella, pseudopods, or cilia.NOT animals, plants, or fungi.

Animal-like protists

r

Heterotrophic. Hunt other micro-organisms for nutrition.

Sarcodines

Move with pseudopods (False feet)

Amoeba Proteus

Ciliates

Move with cilia (act like oars in water. Very fast)

Paramecium caudatum

Flagellates

Flagella for movement. Rotor-like whipping motion

Trypanosome gambiense

Sporozoan

Not motile: Lives in the gut of a mosquito

Plasmodium

Plant-like Protists

r

Autotrophic. Can internally nourish themselves by photosynthesis.

Euglenoids

Euglena

Rhodophyta

Red algae

Fungal-like Protists

r

Saprophytic Heterotrophs:Digest the food externally and absorb the nutrients.

Fungi

r

ChemoheterotrophicCell walls composed of chitinBoth sexual and asexual reproduction

Ascomycota

r

(Yeast)Asexual reproductionReproduce through budding

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Zygomycota

r

(Bread Mould) Gametangial fusion developing into a zygospore

Rhizomes Stolonifer

Basidiomycota

r

MushroomsReproduction takes place in the "fruiting body"

False Truffle

Deuteromycota

r

(Disease-causing)Asexually reproduction only has been observed.Produce asexual spores through sporogenesis

Aspergillus niger
