Diversity of Living Things

Nutrition: heterotrophic which means it turns sulfur, hydrogen and carbon dioxide into methane

Shape and Size: Cocci, bacilli, cell wall made of pseudopeptidoglycan or protein, some cells do not have a cell wall

Reproduction: binary fission but mostly depend on the condition of the environment. The better it is, the more they reproduce

Environment: live in extreme condition such as really cold or hot or deep in the ocean

Genetic Material: RNA tightly wounded together inside of the cell with the DNA

Classification: it can be either gram positive (purple) or gram negative (pick) depending if the cell wall has pseudomurein

Size and Shape: round shape, 1/10 or 1/20 size of a eukaryotic cell, may live single or in pairs, larger then a virus

Organelles: no mitochondria, no chloroplast, no golgi, presence of only ribosomes

Reproduction: Binary fission, multiple fission, spore and fragmentation

Binary Fission reproduction

Nutrition: autotrophic, photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

Genetic Material: the DNA in cyanobacteria

Taxonomy: Kingdom: Eubacteria Phylum: Cyanobacteria Class: Cyanophceae Order: Nostocales Family: Nostocaceae Genus: Cyanobacterium

Protista

Protozoa - Sarcodine (animal like protists which are classifed by their movements)

Taxonomy: Kingdom: Protozoa Phylum: Sarcodine Class: Rhizopoda Family: Amoebidae
Genus: Amoeba
Species: Proteus

Characteristics: Move with ( false feet) pseudopodia, some have shell or covering called a test

Reproduction: binary fission or conjugation

Illnesses: malaria, diarrhea, fever, infection

Nutrition: heterotrophic which means they eat smaller bacteria

Characteristics: found in fresh water ( toxic to fish), protein rich cell membrane, eye spot, they have animal like features

Nutrition: Autotrophic during day and heterothrophic during dark

Reproduction: Binary fission

Cell makeup:
reservoir,nucleus,contractile vacuole, pellicle, chloroplast,nucleolus, stigma, flagellum

Characteristics: not true fungi ( lack a cell wall), like plants and animal protista

Reproduction: formation of spore which is moves by an insect or wind to fertilize

Nutrition: Engulfing small plants into their cytoplasm, heterotrophic

Taxonomy: Kingdom: fungi
Phylum:amoebozoa
Class: Myxomycetes
Order: Liceales
Family:Reticulariaceae
Genus: lycogala
Species: Epidendrum

Plant kingdom

Reproduction: male and female gametophte knows as archegonium (f) and antheridium (m) fertilizes to make zygote in archegonium

Characteristics: non-vascular, thin or short leaves and grows in shady or moist places

Other kinds of the phylum can be moss, liverworts and hornworts

Nutrition: get food from environment or the soil

Taxonomy: Phyum: Bryophyta
Class: Bryophyta (mosses)
Order: Bryales
Family: Bryaceae
Genus: Bryum Hedw. – bryum moss
Species: Bryum caespiticium Hedw. – dry calcareous bryum moss

Nutrition: photosysthesis, CO2 and H2O which they turn into glucose by the help of sun

Characteristics: nakes seeds whch means no outer coverings parts for the seeds, no flower and no fruit

Reproduction: pollinates by the winds which reproduces diploid zygote

Phyla: Coniferophyta, Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta

Animalia Kingdom

Nutrition: they are predictors which means they feed on other animals and they are called heterotrophic

Taxonomy: Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum:Chordata
Class:Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish)
Order:Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays)
Family:Selachii
Genus:Carcharodon
Species:carcharia

Reproduction: Sexual and asexual where they buddy a part of themselves called parthenogenesis

Characteristics: vertebrates, mammals, fishes and bilateral symmetry

Reproduction: secxual reproduction only

Characteristics: no vertebrate, presence of mantle, two openings and bilateral symmetry

Nutrition: heterotrophic, they are preditors

Taxonomy: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Cephalopoda Order: Teuthida Family: Loliginidae Genus: Logilo Species: brevipenna

Reproduction: Sexual reproduction

Characteristics: they breathe through organs that are called book lungs and they are exoskeleton creatures

Nutrition: They are predictors, they use their fangs to catch the prey

Taxonomy: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Arachnido Order: Araneae Family: Sicariidae Genus: Loxosceles redusa

Fungi Kingdom

Nutrition: heterotrophic and our food can be excellent nutrition for them

Reproduction: Asexual reproduction by spores

Characteristics: the size vary in size and shape from small (2-3 microns long) to large (250-300 microns long)

Characteristics; unicellular and can be found in fresh water and marine ecosystem

Reproduction: sexually ( spores with flagella) and axesually

Indirect impact on human is Synchytrium endobioticum, parasite that effects potatoes.

Potatoes can not be sold afterwards

An example for chytrid species can be Allomyces
