Kingdom Archaebacteria
Archaebacteria
• Prokaryotes
• Live in extreme environments
– Halophiles – salt
– Thermoacidophiles – heat, acidic environments
– Methanogens – swamps, intestines of cows
• No layer of peptidoglycan in cell wall
• Biochemically more related to eukaryotic
cells.

Prokaryotes
Layer of peptidoglycan
Classified as gram + or gram –
Eubacteria cause most bacterial infections
– Strep throat
– Lactobacillus (yogurt bacteria)
Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Protista
• Most diverse kingdom’
– Eukaryotic
– Multicellular and unicellular organisms
– Photosynthetic or heterotrophic
• Catch all group of eukaryotic organisms that
are not animals, plants or fungus
• Amoebas, paramecium, algae
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Fungi
• Saprotrophic – externally break down food
and absorb it, heterotrophic
• Feed on dead and decaying material
• Can cause disease – ring worm, yeast
infections
• Cell walls contain chitin (polysaccharide)
• Mushrooms, truffles, yeast
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Plantae
• Autotrophic – make their own food
• Cell walls contain cellulose
• Non-motile

•
Nonvascular – moss
Vascular seedless – ferns
