Unit 10: Taxonomy

Archaea

  • Archaea nucleus - prokaryotic

  • Archaea number of cells - unicellular

  • Archaea level of organization - cell

  • Archaea cell wall - uncommon lipids

  • Archaea mode of nutrition - Both(Chemo-Synthetic Autotrophs)

  • Archaea reproduction - asexual

  • Archaea motility/mobility - N/A

  • Archaea other - <100 species, Contain introns

  • Archaea examples - Thermophiles(Hot), Methanogens(Produce methane), Halophiles(Salty)

Bacteria

  • Bacteria nucleus - prokaryotic

  • Bacteria number of cells - unicellular

  • Bacteria level of organization - cell

  • Bacteria cell wall - Peptidoglycan

  • Bacteria mode of nutrition - Both(Photo and chemical synthetic Autotrophs)

  • Bacteria reproduction - asexual

  • Bacteria motility/mobility - Some are motile

  • Bacteria other - 5000+ species, No introns, gave rise to eukaryotes

  • Bacteria examples - E-coli(Rod-shaped), Streptococcus(Spherical)

Protista

  • Protista nucleus - Eukaryotic

  • Protista number of cells - (Mostly) Unicellular

  • Protista level of organization - (Mostly) Cell

  • Protista cell wall - Pectin or none (Green algae = cellulose)

  • Protista mode of nutrition - Both

  • Protista reproduction - (Mostly) Asexual

  • Protista motility/mobility - Some are motile

  • Protista other - Haploid organisms; Have unique cell organelles: gullet, oral groove, food vacuole, anal pore, contractile vacuoles, eyespots, pseudopodia, flagella and cilia (some bacteria have these last two)

  • Protista examples - Algae, Diatoms(used in toothpaste), Amoebas(Pseudopods), Euglena(Flagellum),- Euglena is greena and has a flagena Paramecium(Cilia)
