Classification of Organisms

Plantea

Have organs and organ systems

They lack the ability to move

Reproduce Sexually and Asexually

Example: Apple Tree, Hydra

Have Cell Walls

Most are made of Cellulose

Multicellular

Most contain Chlorophyll

Pigment found in Chloroplast which isn't present in animal cells

Helps in Photosynthesis

Most are Eukaryotic

Well- defined cell organelles and nucleus

Photosynthesis

Animalia

Are multicellular

Most reproduce sexually

Have the ability to move

All animals have many organ systems

5 different classes of Vertebrates

Mammalia

Example: Lion

Aves

Example: Eagle

Fish

Example: Salmon

Reptilia

Example: Snake

Amphibia

Example: Frog

Phylum is either Vertebrates or invertebrates

Non-chordata

Example: Centipedes

Chordata

Have no cell wall

Have the ability to digest

Well defined cell organelles and nucleus

Protista

Reproduction is either asexual or sexual

Example: Plasmodium

Can be either Heterotrophs or Autotrophs.

Some feed through Endocytosis

Aren't plant, animal or monera

Share characteristics of all of the above

All have mitochondria & some have chloro- plasts

Movement is through flagella or cilia

They are simple Eukaryotic Organisms

Well defined Cell Organelles and Nucleus

Found in water, moist soil, or on humans and plants

Plasmodium causes malaria

Example: Algae

Fungi

Either sac, zygote, imperfect or club fungi

Produce Exoencxyme during digestion

Example: Yeast

Have very small Nuclei

Heteroptrophic

Saphrophytes Parasites Symbionts

Store their food as starch

Made of chitin not cellulose

Can be unicellular or made from fibers known as hyphae

Example: Mushroom

Reproduce through spores

It is possible for the spore to be sexual and asexual

Non-vascular

Lack Vascular tissue

Usually do not move

Eukaryotic

Well defined Cell organelles & nucleus

Kingdom, Phylum, Class Order, Family, Genus Species all coloured boxes are types of Kingdoms

Monera

Can be round, comma, rod-like or spiral

Two classes:

Archaebacteria

Eubacteria

Example: Methanogens

Most reproduction is asexual

Move with the help of a flagella

Circulation is through diffusion

Nutrition:

Heterotrophic

Saphropytes

Parasyte

Consumers

Autotrophic

Photosynthetic

Chemosynthetic

Make their own food

DNA is double stranded

found in cytoplasm of the cell

Have a cell wall

Can survive in extreme climates

Example: Hotsprings

Unicellular

Live in living and non-living habitats

Prokaryotic

Do not have membrane bound organelles Nor a well defined nucleus
