Question
common characteristics of the six kingdoms of life
kingdom eubacteria archaebacteria protist fungi plantae animalia
eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
description of cell wall if any.
heterotrophic, photoautotrophic, or chemoautotrophic?
sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction or both?
unicellular, multicellular or both?
terrestrial, aquatic or both? special habitat?
approx how many species currently described?
provide at least three examples.
Eubacteria: Prokaryotic, cell wall with peptidoglycan, can be heterotrophic, photoautotrophic or chemoautotrophic, asexual reproduction, unicellular, found in various habitats, millions of species, e.g., E. coli, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus.
Archaebacteria: Prokaryotic, cell wall without peptidoglycan, can be heterotrophic, photoautotrophic or chemoautotrophic, asexual reproduction, unicellular, in extreme habitats, thousands of species, e.g., Methanogens, Halophiles, Thermophiles.
Protist: Eukaryotic, some have cell walls, heterotrophic, photoautotrophic or mixotrophic, sexual and asexual reproduction, unicellular or multicellular, aquatic or moist habitats, over 100,000 species, e.g., Amoeba, Paramecium, Algae.
Fungi: Eukaryotic, cell wall with chitin, heterotrophic, sexual and asexual reproduction, unicellular (yeast) or multicellular (molds, mushrooms), terrestrial or aquatic, over 100,000 species, e.g., Yeast, Penicillium, Mushrooms.
Plantae: Eukaryotic, cell wall with cellulose, photoautotrophic, sexual and asexual reproduction, multicellular, terrestrial or aquatic, over 300,000 species, e.g., Rose, Pine tree, Fern.
Animalia: Eukaryotic, no cell wall, heterotrophic, sexual reproduction (mostly), multicellular, terrestrial or aquatic, over 1 million species, e.g., Dog, Bird, Fish.
