Archaebacteria
What is Archaebacteria?
Single-celled prokaryotic microorganisms that live in extreme environments
Define a plant
multicellular, eukaryotic organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae that produce their own food via photosynthesis
What are the four phylas in fungi?
Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Basidiomycota
This is the most common type of reproduction in protists.
What is Asexual Reproduction (binary fission)
What are Eubacteria?

What are the environments that Archaebacteria live in?
What are the environments that Archaebacteria live in Harshest type of environments, such as volcanoes, hot springs, acidic environments
What are the 4 Phylas?
Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms
What are the four main characteristics for fungi?
Fungi are eukaryotic, fungi are heterotrophs, fungi are multicellular or unicellular, and fungi can not move.
Most protists are ______ meaning they are very small
microscopic
What are two Pylums in the Eubacteria Kingdom?
Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria.
How old is Archaebacteria
3.5 billion years old.
What phyla is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis?
Angiosperm
Describe how fungi "move".
By releasing millions of microscopic spores into the air, fungi utilize forces like wind, water, and passing animals to travel great distances. Once these spores land on surfaces, the fungus further "moves" by extending its network to colonize and control new sections of decaying materials.
What are the main phyla in protista?
Answer:
1. Protozoa
2. Euglenophyta
3. Dinoflagellate
4. Myxomycota
5. Phaeophyta
What part of the Eubacteria helps them move?
The Flagella.
What is Crenarchaeota
This phylum of Archaea is commonly found in soil, freshwater, and deep oceans, and can survive extreme heat, cold, and acidity.
How do Serpocaulon catharinae reproduce?
Spore production
Describe how fungi "eat".
Fungi "eat" by releasing special enzymes onto its food, usually decaying plants or soil, to break it down into a liquid. Since fungi don't have mouths, they use their long, thread-like filaments (hyphae) to soak up nutrient-rich liquid directly through its skin.
What are the 3 main habitats that protista live in?
1. Aquatic Systems
2. Specialized and Man-Made,
3. Terrestrial Habitats
What percentage of the Earth’s continents does Nostoc flagelliforme live in?
30% of Earth's continents.
What is Euryarchaeota
This phylum of Archaea includes methanogens, halophiles, and thermophiles, and is important in the carbon cycle because some members produce methane.
What are the 5 plant hormones?
Auxins, Gibberellins, Ethylene, Cytokinins, Abscisic Acid
Describe the importance of fungi.
Fungi can be useful for distilling or for the pharmaceutical industry but they can also cause disease to both plants and animals. Fungi are very important to the ecosystem because they act as decomposers; releasing nutritious substances into the ground.
How high can some Protista get?
What is, up to 60 meters
Who discovered E. coli?
Theodor Escherich in 1885.
