Prokaryotic

Characteristics: All animals, plants, fungi and protists. Cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Characteristics: All are aquatic, mostly Unicellular (algae are multi), heterotophic (can not make its own food) or autotrophic (can make its own food) and has a nucleus.

Characteristics: Can move to find/ get food, Heterotrophic (can not make their own food)

Movement: MOve by beating a long whip like flagella (hair like propellers)

Movement: Tiny like hair that beat like a boat propelling through water

Movement: Pseudopods (false feet).

Do not move

Saprophytic heterotrophic (digesting food externally and then absorbing it)

Bryophyte is a traditional name used to refer to all embryophytes that are non-vascular plants, namely the mosses, hornworts, and liverworts.

Photosynthesis occurs in the stems of whisk ferns, which lack roots and leaves.

plants that have the vascular tissues xylem and phloem include all seed-bearing plants

seed-producing plants 

a plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel

Characteristics: Chemoheterotophic (cant make their own food), Reproduce thru spores, both sexual and asexual, usally not capable of motions, have cells walls composed of chitin.

sexual and asexual spores motile, with posterior flagella (hair like propellers)

Sexual spores are thick walled resting spores called zygospores

spores borne internally in a sac called an ascus

spores borne externally on a club-shaped structure called a basidium

hard exoskeleton

backbone, fish birds reptiles

amphioxus (or lanceles)

tunicates (sea squirts)

babies that are not fully formed, and most marsupial mothers carry their young in pouches until they are more developed. Kangaroos are marsupials.

lays eggs, platypus

Babies that are nourished by a placenta before being born. A placenta is an organ that allows a fetus to obtain nutrients from the mother's blood while the fetus develops inside the uterus. Humans are placental mammals.

animals with backbones or spinal columns

aka sponges; means animal that contains holes; are sessile feeders (stuck to the ground, eating what comes near them); body symmetry: asymetric eg. yellow tube sponge

contains cnidocyte or venomous cells that helps collect and transmit sensory information; body symmetry: radial eg. jellyfishes

one of the largest phyla composed of many diverse organisms; all have a soft body; body structure composed of three parts; body symmetry: bilaterarl eg. octopus, snails, oysters

aka flat worms; lacks a coelom and other body cavities; can be found in marine or fresh water; body symmetry: bilateral; eg. tapeworms

aka the roundworms; very long and narrow; body symmetry: bilateral; eg. ascaris

have long bodies that have segments divided externally by shallow rings; body symmetry: bilateral; eg. earthworms

means spiky skin; dwells at the bottom of the ocean floor; body symmetry: radial eg. starfishes, sea lilies, sea urchins

has jointed appendages (body extensions that give them a wide range of controlled motion); most successful because they are the most diverse, living in a great range of habitats; body symmetry: bilateral; eg. lobsters, centipedes, butterflies, spiders

has internal skeletal rod, a complete digestive system, a ventral heart, a closed blood system and a tail; body symmetry: bilateral; eg. sharks, fishes, lizards frogs,humans

Characteristics: Unicellular (single celled), cells are plasmid (cell that can replicate independently of the chromosomes), and asexual.

Have cell walls, contain fatty acids, and have systems of metabolism (chemical reactions the living state of the cells and the organism). 

A lack of membrane-bound organelles.Unicellularity and thus division by binary-fission.Generally small size.

Characteristics: Real Bacteria, unicellular prokaryotes, lack nucleus

widely found in soil and water

Found in the blood of apparently healthy mice and rats.
