Kingdom Archaebacteria/Archaea

1st form of life on earth, found in
domain Archaea

Evolved 3.5-3.8 billion years ago

Reproduce asexually by binary fission

Unicellular and prokaryotic

Can be heterotrophic or autotrophic,
but typically autotrophic (typically
chemosynthetic, not photosynthetic)

Typically decomposers and producers
Kingdom Archaebacteria/Archaea
Owens Lake, CA halophiles:

Live in extreme or harsh environments

Cell membranes are made of different compounds
than other organisms

Role: help other organisms digest, decomposers

Number of species is unknown but at least 200+

3 major groups: halophiles, methanogens,
thermophiles
Kingdom Eubacteria

Also known as True Bacteria

Evolved 3.5-3.8 billion years ago,
likely from Archae, but not known

Domain Bacteria

Reproduce asexually by binary
fission every 20 minutes

Unicellular and prokaryotic

Can be heterotrophic or
autotrophic

Both producers and decomposers
Kingdom Eubacteria

Role: Major source of food and
oxygen in the world,
decomposers, nitrogen fixation
for plants

Live everywhere!

Cause 50% of all diseases

Unknown # of species, but at
least 4,000+

3 shapes = bacillus (rod), coccus
(round), spirillum (spiral)
Kingdom Eubacteria

Gram positive
Bacteria are identified as gram-positive or gramnegative.

Some bacteria have an extra layer beyond the
polysaccharide cell wall found in all bacteria.

A special staining procedure determines the type of
bacteria.

Gram-negative cells have the extra layer and thus are
more resistant to most antibiotics – cannot penetrate
extra layer.
Kingdom Eubacteria

Bacterial diseases

Bacteria can cause tooth decay and ulcers

Food can be contaminated by bacteria = Botulism,
Salmonella, E.Coli


Pasteurization (heating food to high enough temp)
prevents food poisoning.

Freezing food slows growth of bacteria to safe
levels.
Bacteria can also be transmitted through the air or
carried by animals (Lyme)
Kingdom Eubacteria

Controlling bacterial diseases

Sanitation and hygiene prevent bacterial diseases

Antibiotics – affect bacteria by interfering with
certain cellular activities

Overuse of antibiotics is leading to antibiotic
resistant bacteria = harder to control these stronger
bacteria = more serious illness.
Viruses

Viruses = Microscopic particles than invade and often
destroy cells.




A virus is NOT a cell and is NOT alive!
Composed of a core of genetic material surrounded by a
protein coat
 They are parasitic and can only reproduce inside host
cells.
How are viruses similar to living things?
 They have genetic material and they can evolve (the
genetic material can change)
 They are not, however, living because they cannot make
proteins by themselves, they are not made of cells and
they cannot use energy.
To create more, the virus inserts genetic material into host
cell and turns host cell into a replication center.
Viruses


Diseases caused by viruses = AIDS,
Smallpox, Infectious Hepatitis, Polio,
Flu, Yellow Fever, Ebola, Chickenpox,
Rabies, Measles
Viruses can spread through bodily fluids,
blood, contaminated water, insects,
animals, and or be airborne

Vaccines work for some viruses, but
not all.

Antibiotics do not work for viruses
because antibiotics work by
interfering with cell processes that
viruses do not do.

Some viruses have surface proteins
that do not change from year to year
(smallpox, measles, polio) and thus
one vaccine protects

Others change each year and need
new vaccines as the changes occur.
(flu, HIV, etc) HIV changes the most
frequently thus most difficult.
Ebola
HIV
Polio
Small Pox
Kingdom Protista

Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic

3 main groups: plant-like (algae), fungilike (slime molds) and animal-like
(amoeba, paramecium, etc.)

Eukaryotic

Can be multi-cellular or unicellular

Often motile - several different
structures for movement

Evolved 2 billion years ago

Likely evolved from Archaea through
process of endosymbiosis (a smaller
organism inside a larger one)
Stentor
Kingdom Protista

Domain Eukarya

Many species reproduce asexually by binary fission, some also
reproduce sexually by conjugation (many can reproduce either
way)

At least 43,000+ species

Role in Environment:





Major source of food – often bottom of the food web
Provide atmospheric oxygen in aquatic communities
Serve as decomposers
Often form symbiotic relationships and help other organisms

Kingdom Protista

3 major groups:


Paramecium

Water mold
Animal-like protists (commonly called protozoa)
 Unicellular, heterotrophic, grouped by how they
move (cilia, flagella, or pseudopodia)
 Considered ancestors of modern animals
Plant-like protists (commonly called algae)
 Multicellular or unicellular, photosynthetic
 Most are aquatic – phytoplankton is the main
producer in aquatic food webs
Fungi-like protists
 Heterotrophic
 Slime molds, downy
Euglena
Kingdom Fungi

Evolved 400-500 million years ago
with plants

Evolution somewhat unknown,
likely evolved from fungi-like
protists

Eukaryotic

Domain Eukarya

Heterotophic decomposers

Multicellular, generally immobile,
grow at both ends, contain
filaments, chitin cell walls
Kingdom Fungi

Role: Decomposers, mutualistic relationship with
plants or green algae, major food source (yeast,
cheese), source of medicine (penicillin)

Problems for humans: diseases, allergies, damage to
crops

Reproduce sexually with spores

77,000+ species

Molds, yeasts, mushrooms are all in this kingdom

Images
Kingdom Fungi

Multicellular fungi have all similar looking cells that
organize in long slender filaments called hyphae.



As the hyphae grow, they branch and form mycelium.
Fungi digest outside their bodies = Hyphae spread into a
food source and secrete enzymes to break down the organic
matter.
The hyphae then absorb the nutrients.

The reproductive structures are typically the visible part
of the fungi.

A mushroom is also a reproductive structure.

The mushroom is the result of some hyphae weaving
tightly together.
Kingdom Plantae

Evolved 400-500 million years ago
along with fungi

More than 270,000 species

Reproduce asexually (vegetative)
or sexually by spores or seeds

All are Autotrophic

Eukaryotic cells

Cellulose cell walls, chloroplasts,
generally stationary, contain roots,
shoots/stems, and typically leaves
Kingdom Plantae

Producers

Role: Major source of oxygen and food

Likely evolved from protists – green algae


chloroplasts

Most have a nervous system, specialization of cells, some type of
symmetry (radial or bilateral), support of the body (type of

Reptiles have skin that allows
them to live further from
water in dry conditions.

Birds
 Birds likely evolved from dinosaurs
 In addition to feathers and wings,
birds also have lightweight skeletons
and are also endothermic.

Mammals
 Mammals can regulate their body
temperature (endothermic) and thus
live in more diverse climates.

efficient hearts (4 chambers) and
produce milk for offspring.
